Damn dude why can't all reviews be this crystal clear and straightforward. Excellent job man keep them coming
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed!
BEST platform pedal overview I’ve seen. Exactly what I needed to see as I venture into the world of riding platforms.
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Clear and concise! You've just given me clear distinctions among those types of pedals. What is your take on my dual type pedal, clipless on one side & flat on the other?
This is a really clear, easy to understand explanation of flat pedals and how they match up with different riding styles. I normally ride clipped in on my XC bike, but am looking to get some flats for general riding, to practise manuals and wheelies, and this has really helped a lot. I was thinking of getting some One Up composites but am now leaning towards the Shimano XT flats.
Great video. I’ve not seen any other video or article that has actually gone over the substantive & important nuances of flat pedal types like you did.
Great informative video Kyle and loved the clips where you're styling it up, quality! Now it will be something when April can follow you down those trails.
Awesome! Thank you Bob! Yeah it will be fun to see where she is at in another year or so!
i didn’t know shinola about bicycle pedals. this really explains it all.
you really make buying a bike pedal easy. thank you
Great vids Kyle & April....keep'um coming. Thanks!!!
Great review. I didn't even know that I needed this information! Very helpful. I've never heard anyone else address this issue. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful Eric!
Excellent review, well done and thank you, it’s just what I needed.
Excellent vid! Clear and concise. Keep them coming.
Super helpful for this newbie! Thanks dude!
Loved this video. Clear and simple. Thanks
Very informative and will help me get a good flat pedal for my new bike. Best wishes for a great week
Crystal clear explanations! Thank you:)
just found your channel browsing some how to manual videos, very informative stuff, subscribed and will be recommending your channel to customers at the shop i work at.
Thank you so much! 😊
such a high quality and informative video. Wish i'd seen this waaay earlier in life
I’ve been using a clip pedal. Started MTB 2 months ago. Used to be a triathlete in my teens(road biker), and only a injured runner fir the last 10 years.
Great review! Thanks Kyle
I didn't even know any of this but it makes so much sense. I always wondered how my T-Macs made me feel so locked in but the Canfield Crampons allowed me to adjust my feet on the fly.
Glad you liked it Chuck!
I didn't think I needed to watch this, but I'm glad I did. I was thisclose to ordering the Oneup pedals, but I have carbon cranks with boots and I need more grip than what convex pedals provide. I'll have to do some more research. Thank you for this super helpful info Kyle!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been riding with road clipless for years and now trying to do most of my commute by flat pedals. Actually, I've already had the three main types and tested them for at least 2 years, cause I don't do MTB, just by commuting tests, I can feel the difference but I cannot get that clear pros and cons as on your video. So thanks for the video, it explained everything.
glad it was helpful!!
Very helpful thanks. I put T-MACs on my Trek Slash 8 paired w/ RC Powerlines - as locked in as it gets. Pedal power is huge. But I do a lot of general trail riding, relative novice skill set, and the size/thickness points you made are indeed relevant. Pedal strikes and missing skin on shins/calves are par for the course. Going to try thinner flats, and run the T-MACs when I'm doing more legit DH stuff. Appreciate your content and approachable style - strong work!
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for the kind words Geoff!
Nice work! Perfectly explained. Thank you.
I've been researching flat paddles for two days straight, trying to understand the subtleties and nuances. This video has allowed me to wrap up my search, everything explained perfectly in a few short minutes by someone who really knows the product. Thanks mate! :D
PS - I wish OneUp would make a smaller version of their pedal! it'll be perfect for my new road/gravel Surly Cross Check
No problem at all! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow in depth review thank you
Holy crap. This is what I needed to see. Thanks for this!
Glad you liked it!
excellent review!
This is why I love this channel. Everything is dissected and broken down into the why's and how's.
I recently bought some composite pedals because of the crazy hot deal, but as a new rider, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was so locked and had no freedom to shift my foot a bit, whenever I needed to get back to neutral.
It all makes sense now. 👌👊
Glad this was helpful! 😊
Thanks for the straightforward explanation, makes a lot of sense.
Glad it was helpful!
best explanation ever. thank you!
Very helpful! I'm looking at new pedals (and dropper) for my Salsa! I was looking at One Up earlier today, saw you on B1ker Bar just a bit ago, and now watched this! Funny how things work out :)
Haha that is awesome! I hope this helped out a little bit! Thanks for watching!
I just got the stamp 3’s, and they are awesome!!!
Kyle your videos are amazing, keep up the hard work!
If you’re ever going to be at any competition or event could you please let me know, my husband and I would love to see you ride in person, and cheer you on!!!
Glad you like them! Yeah we can let you know in the future :)
Great video. Best explanation of any pedal video. Thanks
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
BEST flat pedal overview I’ve seen. I had no idea there is 3 different profiles
Great video and opinions on the available platform pedal options. 👍👍
Hey Raymond! Thanks man, I really appreciate that! Hope you enjoyed!
Amazing explanation !!! Clarifies ALL the points why I always chose flat pedals basing only on my intuition 🤙 see ya, tks
Glad it was helpful!
New to mtb and can’t thank you enough for such a phenomenal review. Subscribed
Thank you so much!!!
I’m a pretty avid rider and this was a teachable video for sure. Well done man.
Great vid dude
Excellent video and best description I've seen of the various style of flat pedals. Coming off E-mallets I've been struggling with flats and always run back to clips. I'm hoping a better pedal will help me stay with them this year. Just have to decide what to get at this point.
Hopefully you fund the right flat this time!
I ride the one up composites , they are my fav. nice work.
Those are a really great pedal too! I love good composite pedals
Thanks for the in-depth details.
Yeah no worries at all! Hope you enjoy!
Nice work! You went about the comparison in an original way.
Thank you, it was one of my first youtube vids and i am definitely trying to learn and make some better stuff with similar information. thanks for the feedback
Great video Kyle!
Thank you!! Keep up the great work
Easy to understand and super helpful... thanks! 🤙
Glad it was helpful!
Rad review!! Looking forward to more like this. Subbed!!🤙🤙
Thank you so much! If you have any ideas of what you'd like me to cover please let me know!
Perfect review, didnˇt even known this connection to the shape of the body :-)
Great video. Really helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
One Up has a composite pedal that is great for use with carbon cranks! Definitely recommend them.
yeah that was one of my favorites!
Nice information!
I don't even ride, I just wanted to support your channel..this was very interesting!!
Helpful Video!👏🏼
The blue tone of the OneUp is fire.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video explaining the flat pedal profiles.
I’ve been riding the race face for a while and now looking into getting new pedals for my new Hardtail. From your description, I think best would be a flat profile. What are my options (size 10 shoe, Hardtail) at a budget…
That was helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Good analysis!
You got some sick skills Kyle
Thank you!
Excelente video amigo! thanks!
i may be late to the party, but this is such a useful video! thanks man!
Amazing video, best flat pedal video I've seen!!! Please do something about the echo.
Thanks! Will do! I got the echo sorted a little better nowadays this was still early on in the learning process haha
Thanks for the useful information. So may people just want to say this one or that one is "best." Problem is, "best" is situational dependent. Great job.
Very informative!
Wow this is the best video ive seen till now on this topic!!
Glad it was helpful!
@@AprilRideMTB can u make more videos like these explaining stuff and more mechanical videos like fixing disc brakes or how they work and also continuing with stunts tutorials? It would really help begginners like me
Very informative. Thank you very much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Good comprehensive insight to these pedals.
Using Deity composite pedals for several years, but thinking about going to the Black Kats or Tmacs. This vid is helpful.
~JSV
Glad it was helpful!
@@AprilRideMTB Indeed. You actually addressed the most important part of different pedals, meaning the difference in concavity and surface shape. THAT'S what we often overlook when deciding on different pedals, and rarely do I see pedal "reviews" examining this.
I've seen a few of your vids now & you do a great job approaching bike issues with insight as opposed to superficial overview. Appreciate it..
~JSV
Nice breakdown
Good and truthfull info, thanks
Thank you :)
Yes, finally I find this information about flat pedals! So now I understand why I dont’ like my pair of OneUp composite pedals. Thank you so much for these information!
Yeah! Im really glad you enjoyed the video. I want to do more stuff like this but have just been traveling so much lately. Hope i can help you guys understand a few more things moving forward too!
Hey dude. I want to buy oneup composite pedals. Why u didn't like them?
Mete TURHAN because it’s profile is convex. Now I ride Crankbrothers Stamp 2 Large and tweak it a little bit by unscrewing the outside screws a little bit.
That move at 4:48 was SICK!
Great vid!!!
Thank you! I hope it was helpful!!
I have Azonics and i run the saint's on my new trail bike. While there not as big as the azonics the saint's work very well.
Yeah those are great pedals!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kyle, I swear if they had a bike class in college you'd be THE PROFESSOR at THE most prominent university that people would come from all over the world to take your class. I'm talking Nobel Prize winning instruction. I wished you could coach my 4 year old son, who is already AMAZING me and my 12 year old son. If figure if you worked with him, by the time he was 10,11 he'd be well ahead of riders like B.Reeder, symenuck, Jamil Johansson etc. ... seriously, the patience and knowledge and the talent and ability you have to translate that knowledge from feeling to words to explain things IS INCREDIBLE!!
Haha thanks! I am just a determined kid that was self taught and i think its fun trying to help people overcome the same struggles of understanding that I ran into :)
OUTSTANDING!!!! 🔥
Thank you!!! 😊
Super video!!! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Can you do a video on shoes that go well with flat pedals? Also, a video on advantages/disadvantages to flat vs. clip-on.
Thanks!
Dang, GREAT JOB!
NO FLUFF. 💯
Thanks Gabriel!
I wish I had seen this before buying my concave pedals- I am just beginning :) for spoon DC pedals.
Glad it helped you now at least 😊
I've tried both Shimano GR500's and Raceface Chester's, liked the Shimano's more, they have shorter studs but held onto my shoes better. The price of the GR500's went up though.
Best peddle explaination on UA-cam
Thank you! 😊
Sponsored by FIAT? Great vid per usual!
Very nice video👍🏻
Thank you! 😊
Another great video Kyle. Can you comment on threaded spikes vs. machined smooth spikes. I usually buy platform pedals with threaded spikes (grub screws) which seem to bite into the shoe sole and give surprising grip (no complaints). I'm now considering a Spank Oozy pedal that has machined smooth pins (no exposed screw threads). I'm concerned that the smooth pins wont grip nearly as well as the threaded type pins. I cannot find anyone who has compared the two pin styles. Do you have any comments on how the two pins rate on grip (assuming the same shoe like a five-ten sole)?
Great review mate! It’d be good to see what your pros and cons are for people deciding to use flats or clip in pedals. Also what pedal is best suited for certain styles of riding!! Cheers 👍
Yeah that would be a super fun video! Thanks for the idea!
Kyle & April - Ride MTB thanks! I look forward to hopefully seeing it on your channel for some great tips and advice. Keep up the great work!
@@AprilRideMTB +1 on the flats vs. clipless idea. I love your channel! I came into MTB from road, I have always clipped in, but am starting to get more into jumps and drops. Curious for your take on the pros and cons. Thanks!
i got new pedals thanks Kyle but not 300.00 ones you rock i went to walmart
Thank you for this video. I started riding flat pedals with metal pins for the first time last year and I was told concave pedals were better so I got some. I kept having issues with getting my foot on straight and getting my feet off of them (I'm still learning). I thought maybe I couldn't handle metal pins, but after watching this video it sounds like it's the concave pedals! Your advice makes a lot of sense and I think I need to try some convex pedals until I get the hang of it. Thank you!
Super helpful video - thanks! I went back to flats (for increased confidence downhill), but was pedal striking like crazy (even on trails around Boise like Peggy's). It drove me crazy enough that I ended up going back to clipless. Something that helped a lot was switching from eggbeaters to SPD pedals, and backing the tension down to literally as low as it'll go. It has helped, but I still like the idea of flats. I have heard you lose something like 10-20% climbing efficiency using flats - do you know if that's true?
Thanks! Honestly what i feel the most with climbing in clips vs flats is just the different muscle groups being used. Flats I use my hamstring and butt a lot more and clips feel like more of a calf and quad workout. Its fun to switch back and forth throughout the year :)
Hey Kyle, question for you.... I ride egg beaters pedals and when i descend a long downhill my feet fall asleep and become very sore, any ideas as to another type of pedal? also, I really like to be clipped in. thank you for the content and awesome videos you and April do, i'm learning a lot, keep up the great work!
Thanks a million for the video, I have a Fuji Tahoe Comp small size 17in with 26 in wheels and SLX aluminum cranks, I really need new pedals, I want to go for two last pedals you mentioned, but I don't know the flat one is good choice because of it's thickness according to size of my bike and it's low height. Should I choose the last one (flat and thinner) or it's better for me to stick to the third type? Thanks again.
Informative video, just one comment, the OneUps are actually a convex pedal, they are 12mm thick at the spindle and only 8.3mm on the front/rear edge.
Really nice explanation for a beginner like me. Also which blue helmet is that?
Glad it was helpful! It is the Fly Racing Freestone helmet.
like how you slip in riding on the trail with this
thanks!
No problem!
Probably should've watched this video before I invested in pedals. Got the dmr v6. Gonna test it on trail this weekend. Quick question though, how do pins and rotational stiffness affect how the pedal performs?
Cool review, however OneUp pedals are convex, not flat. It’s even stated as such on their site, slight convex shape 12mm center tapering to 8.3 at edges.
#THELEGENDMTB thanks! Yeah I think that the site may be a little misleading. I measured them to be 11ish in the center and 9 on the outsides and since the middle doesn’t really have any pins to raise your shoe up, they ride like more of a flat pedal profile. The plastic one up pedals have a definite convex shape and that’s what I currently have on my dirt jumper
Very insightful. Now drink a beer. Cheers!🤙🍻
Great review thank you for your advice AAA+++++God bless
Thank you!
Genius vid.
Thanks Man! I appreciate the comment!
