Hello, can you please provide a followup review on on the maglock peddle? I’m trying to decide between the two, and your video was really helpful. It would be nice to know your opinions of the maglock after riding on them for a few times. Thanks.
I’m sure I will provide a follow up review in the future, but in the meantime, l’m happy to share my first thoughts. I have been on 3 rides with these pedals and definitely prefer them. I have found it easier to place my foot in the correct spot. Also, the magnetic connection feels stronger than Magped, but it is just as easy to remove my foot when I need to. My only word of advice with Maglock: buy the multi-layered “shoe clip” plates to help customize the fit for your shoes. Be sure to Subscribe to my channel for future videos!
🤔 Hmmmm.... Good question. Maglock was sold out, so I bought them on eBay. The quality is great so I would assume they are a more refined, newer model.
The metal is scratched in places and several pins have been severely bent from rock strikes. But…. that really hasn’t affected the connection that the magnets provide or the feeling of the pedals.
Serious question from me (for once!): What is the purpose of using a magnetic pedal vs. a traditional clip-in? The magnet obviously doesn't provide enough force to keep your foot on the pedal during your upstroke. So they are obviously not meant to assist with power transfer on the upstroke. I assume the magnet provides only a small amount of positive contact between your shoe and pedal, but is it significant enough to keep your foot from slipping around above and beyond what the lugs on your pedals already do?
The pedals, both magped and Maglock, do provide enough force to add power to the upstroke, around 30 to 40 pounds of magnetic force per pedal. It is a pretty significant connection. But... that's not what I use them for. The purpose (in mountain biking as opposed to road) is to provide a more solid connection to your bike than you would get from flats. Not just for pedaling; but jumping, riding through chunky rock gardens, etc. The benefit of magnets over clip-ins, is safety. They ability to immediately remove your foot from the pedal and use it to avoid a crash. This is demonstrated in my magped update video: ua-cam.com/video/yYkdD_TPq_w/v-deo.html

Thank you. That helps. Did you buy the new stealth maglock or their first model?

it's been a year (youtube says it's 1 year), how is it holding up?

Which pins were installed on the magpeds? 8mm or 11mm?
I believe they are the 8mm
@@ADubMTB Can you tell if using 11mm pins up front there would be contact between the sole and the pedal? Thanks
That was it?
