    This built is on fire! Glad you used some Ice pedals to cool it down. Also, another tip when buying pedals: make sure the pins are actually screwed through the pedal (otherwise it's really hard to get them out if you sheered them off).

    I have started to ride on flat pedals after 19 years of being a SPD fan.
    It was a quite big shock for me not to be connected with my bike, it means not clicked on :)
    They are DMR V12 Magnesium. I really love them. I have installed them in my winter muddy bicycle.
    After few rides it was perfect. I feel more safe in a dangerous situations.
    I have started to jump as well and I like it. I am even quicker on the descents than before with SPD.
    I remember the old flat small pedals from the 90'. They were dangerous and very slippery. I hated them.
    NSBikes is the best bicycle company from Poland. They are producing stunning bikes, especially their RONDO gravel bikes. As a XC fan I really like the NSBikes Synonym RC1 with the most radical frame angles.

    I use the Catalyst flat pedal, once I tried them I ended up with 3 pair of the things. They're the longest flat pedal around, but not the widest, they are a little narrower than the PNW flats Ive got here. They provide a lot of foot support, which for mt biking once you try it, it works really well for me anyway. Being longer hasnt meant more pedal strikes, its the sides that hit rocks.
    They're aluminum and big, so not light. But they work so well I dont care about the weight. Almost no one ever tests the things, they're the one pedal thats different from the others.

    Thicker and wider pedals also tend to cause more ground and obstacle strikes. But the pedals also go hand-in-hand with the cranks and the bike geometry... As well as riding style.

      Ya, with my old pedals I would often (nearly once a ride) get foot cramps that would force me to stop. Not that they were bad pedals (DMR V6), but rather my foot folded around like a taco. Got a new bike and treated myself to some new Stamp 2's in a size large. While waiting for shipping, I rode a bit with the old pedals on the new bike and still got cramps. Have not had a foot cramp since I installed the larger pedals tho

    Though it may seem obvious to some, good advice all around.
    I prefer composite type flats, as they take strikes with less feel to the body.
    I also tend to remove the pins near the the axle, just comfort, or a preference for me.

  • @michaelfrymus
    @michaelfrymus 2 роки тому

    how much should the pins stick out? if your shoe has groves that are 2mm, should the pins only stick out 2mm? or does the amount not matter? don't want to ruin the shoes if they are sticking out too much.
    Have the pins be longer all around and shorter on the inside?
    or would it be better to have longer pins on the far left/right and shorter towards the inside of the bike?
