How do you end up scraping them off-road? If it's because the pedals are too bulky, you might want to look at some of the smaller pedals that are about (Eggbeater, Time ATAC, and those new Shimano SPD ones look pretty small..)

The problem with small pedals and cleats though, are that they can be uncomfortable on long distance rides -- a shoe with a stiffer sole helps a lot with spreading the force over your foot.
