    Nukeproof electron evo pedals, 35 pounds with sealed bearings, probably the best pedals you can get for a price like this and even some 50-60 pound pedals suck compared to them, alot of people I know including me use them, they have removable pins too with sizes 8, 10 ,12 which is really nice.

      If you prefer Aluminium like me, the Superstarcomponents Nano-X pedals are a good choice. Around £39 and 440g for the steel axle version aren't bad. They come with a two pin set (8 and 10mm) and optional with a Titanium axle. Available in 8 elox colours. I'm using them for half a year now on my freerider - no issues so far and very satisfied.

    My shins hate those big metal pins! You use all pins - it's hard to bail; you use half - you slip and "oh hello, shin!". I ended up using plastic flats with plastic pins for both DH and trials, never failed me and still not worn off after 3 years.

  • @DrMillF
    @DrMillF 6 років тому +1

    Changed from cheap plastic flats to DMR Vault recently. The difference is amazing, I really recommend investing into a quality pair for everyone. Even if you buy expensive ones it's a bang for the money and will change how you feel on your bike within seconds! Don't forget to protect your shins though :D

    Pin style makes a huge difference. The grub screws are a pita and definitely don't bite as well as the thinner pins do in my Nike SB's. The grub screws are too thick to fit easily in the grooves on the sole. Good luck getting them out with anything other than Vice Grip pliers after you peen the opening over on rocks too.

    Can you recommend a so called slight "upgrade" to stock plastic that has short pins. I've ridden MTB 3+ years now with my stock plastic (specialized). I like that they don't chew up my shins (maybe slipped off 3 times in 3+ years). You will slip up in any pedal at some point and that damage I've seen on other people's legs .. well they keep pushing me to "upgrade" and I point to their shins. There has to be a more conservative upgrade.

      @fatmikecj 8 років тому +4

      you're never going to get perfect grip, but it might be worth looking at your style and shoes as well as just the pedals. make sure your weight is evenly distributed and your feet are planted on the pedals. Also what shoes are you using? flat soled skate-type shoes are going to grip far better than shoes with chunky soles etc. If that's all sorted I'm a major fan of superstar nano pedals. they're very cheap, look great and are bomb proof. I've had one set for years, they've been used in all conditions, been bashed and battered and still work perfectly, as well as being incredibly grippy.

    Interesting video. I would also encourage trying the pedals first. I had some DMR v8s on a bike that got stolen so I put v12s on my new bike thinking they would be better. While they may be better in some ways, I preferred the feel of the v8s. Anyway, both are way better than the shitters that came with the bikes!

      Plastic pedals can be a great choice - they're lighter, much cheaper and can be even more robust as long as the internals are good quality. Grip levels on the best models - such as the Burgtec and HT - are basically as good as on alloy pedals.

    another addition to this; when you buy pedals with pins, take them out one by one and add some nail polish or locktite to the thread. otherwise you're sure to lose lots of them. i lost a quarter of them in about 2 weeks prior to doing this and not a single one since.

You probably cant even measure any noticable improvements by going for lets say 12 mm thick instead of 15 mm thick pedals. An come on, whats up with the weight saving stupidity? They are 76 gramms lighter. Oh how nice. Wait a second let me take a 76 ml sip of water out of my bottle real quick.
