Blank Baseplates

[SamXTherapy]

Everybody knows the old "flip over the plate" method, which doesn't work on many pedals, and everyone probably knows about the bike chain links method, too.

I have several pedals which don't like having the base flipped over and the bike chain thing never appealed to me. I like the immediacy of Dual Lock (and if you use velcro, don't; use Dual Lock instead, it's far better). Anyhow, I decided to get some blank plates for me pedals, and bought 'em from these lads:

They come with velcro as standard but I ordered 'em without. Placed the order on a weekend, and the things were there the following Monday.

For me in the UK, they were the lowest cost available - you get a discount for bulk orders - and reasonable shipping costs. Good quality but what's to say about a simple metal plate, other than they were the right size with holes in the right places? All installed and everything is good.

That looks pretty reasonable if buying in quantity...

I used to be able to buy spare baseplates from Roland here in Canada. Haven't tried for about 15 years though

What I really need is a CNC machine to make my own baseplates (only a couple of hundred grand for the one I want!)... plus a 3D metal printer. Plus... oh, nevermind. It wouldn't all fit in the garage!

I think it's high time the pedals were supplied without the rubber attached, but included if you really wanted to stick it on.

I get the idea behind the new bases - did you notice the previous version had even less space than the originals? - but it's not ideal.
