Like you I put a 38 on my gravel and added some Superstar flats, I've been riding all sorts of rough terain on the flats for over 3 years with never a problem.

Cheers robertpb, I was considering spd and trail type shoes

Considering I ride flats on the mtb perhaps I’m over thinking it

You can use whatever pedal you like.

But i do like SPDs

I'd be swayed by the mileage you plan and the split between on and off road.

If it's effectively a road bike with big tyres - road shoes and pedals.

Higher mileage with some off-road - SPD.

A faux 90s mountain bike to make local trails more challenging -flats, or even clips and straps for that authentic feel!
