Actual measurements?  No.  I could measure a DX for you tomorrow.  An SX pedal feels like a typical oldschool pedal under your foot, whereas a DX just feels about right, providing an entirely bigger platform for you to stand on. It's not a huge difference on the tape measure, but enough to notice  :)

Hi,

been told that SX and DX pedals are the same width (i.e. axle same length) but the DX's are slightly longer

Still would like actual measurements

Yeah, that's right.  I just wouldn't have described it quite like that.... ;)

I have a DX in front of me:  it measures 100mm wide and 90mm long give or take a couple of mm.

The length is taken as the platform you actually stand on, rather than the parallagram overall  ;)

Just out of interest,  why are you curious as to the size?

I don't know if anyone else did this but when our plastic caps of our DX's were knackered, or even before that, we'd flip them out and replace them with a two pence piece, which fits perfectly into the end of the pedal. I was even going to do that to my SX's (i'm too tight to shell out on the real thing) just for old times sake.
