My gravel bike has shimano A530 pedals which are platform on one side and spd on the other. That pedal was replaced by the EH500.

I have this pedal only because I use my gravel bike most frequently on family around town rides where I am not going to use cycling shoes. It's simple and comfortable to pedal for an extended period of time on the flat side.
Other than that, I wouldn't want that style pedal on my bike.


I would probably have some A600 pedals instead. They are 1 sided only and are light. I have them on road bikes- they are easy to clip into due to how they hang.
Some dual sided high quality light MTB pedals would be fine, but I'm really not in love with paying a lot for a pedal and don't struggle to clip into the A600 so there isn't a lot of motivation to change. If I struggled to clip into single sided, I would spend the money for high quality and light dual side.
