schwinn 1/2 inch pedal options....

[scale]

I have an old typhoon.....i believe it is a 1966. It is far from original. I am almost finished with it and i need pedals.

WHat do people prefer for 1/2 inch pedals? Id like something that looks nice, is functional and is serviceable.

I like steel pedals, a pair of rat traps would look good and be durable on your 66 Typhoon. My favorite is the bear trap design. I just installed a pair on my bike and they work great. Most come in 1/2 and 9/16ths sizes.

i had those on my bmx bike growing up. They were great. I might go this route. I was hoping to find something like the MKS Sylvan Touring pedal but in 1/2 inch. Those things look sharp on any old build. I suppose i could just run the stock pedals i have. They have heavy wear but they work. I could run them until i find something that fits the part.

I used to wear them out until they were just a spindle. My tennis shoes would get a hole worn in where the spindle turned.

I looked, all the MKS styles are 9/16ths. I think that's why those bear claws caught my eye, they were the best I could find at a decent price in 1/2.

And for something more traditional, here's the nicest set of block pedals I've seen in a while.

I put aluminum platform pedals on just about everything.

Sunlite rat taps are under $15 on ebay.

Rat traps, aluminum platforms, bear traps are my 3 go to pedals. All available in 1/2 and 9/16

Those are great if you're going to ride hard. If your just cruising around suburban streets or easy trails bow pedals are very stylish and won't cut your shins.

What about a pair of adapters?

I use bow pedals on my 60s Schwinns. My Corvette had this style so I used the new bow pedals as per deoman.

I also like the Sunlites:

Galvanized and hard plastic with safety reflectors.

These are great pedals. I use them on most of my bikes.

If I'm going for a modern BXM-look, I might use these:

Aluminum (or pot-metal) goes with almost any color.

I'm with Rusty and Phil... Block or bow pedals if it were my bike. [But it's not my bike]
