Ya your probably right. I was going off the one pedal in each hand test lol. My crampons do have extra holes drilled in them, so maybe thats what threw off my hand scale.actually the Cramptons are heavier last i checked

Holy snapping duck poo Batman!!Pic to go with this. Still spinning smoothly, A full race season on all his bikes.
I believe that is a pic of Mitch Ropelato's pedal...Holy snapping duck poo Batman!!
WTF do you do to those poor pedals!![]()
The new Crampon + Hamptons collabo!cramptons Cramptons Cramptons.
.
yep i have the Race Lites which are not light, but just as heavy as Straightlines. Those thing are bomb proof....too bad NYC Freeride went under.The new Crampon + Hamptons collabo!
I have nothing to add to this discussion. I run Glory Holes. Neither light nor thin but TOUGH. Aside from a few scratches and tiny gouges the pedals are still going strong since 2008. Haven't even needed to replace a pin.
what did you pick?thanks for all the info fellas. a choice has been made!!
atomlab pimplites. they were cheap an look to do the job.what did you pick?
Should have gone with the Deitys then, have had bad experience with atomlab pedals and they are heavyatomlab pimplites. they were cheap an look to do the job.
I have the Premium slims (haro pivots, atomlabs, etc.) set up on a few of my bikes. On all of them I have bent the spindle. They're still rideable, but quite annoying when pedaling.I consider DH pedals to be disposable since Im sort of a hack and not the smoothest rider Ive been running Haro Pivits (Wha, Whas little brother) which are thin and cheap.
Lots of rock strikes and the Pivits are hanging tough.

i had a bad experience with Dietys cranks back in the day where the right arm just snapped in half, so therefor i'll never buy any of there products again.Should have gone with the Deitys then, have had bad experience with atomlab pedals and they are heavy
More HTIs, they don't look very light compared to Kowas, oReverse, or some of the others.All of you are wasting your dollars. Specialized Mag Pros. Retardedly light. Great bearings. Simple. Slim. Light. Replaceable.....CHEEEAPPPPERRRR!!!!
And based on everything I see at venues everywhere, virtually anybody who's owned a pair since '06 is still running them. Dave Meredith of OneGhost has a component brand with some neat pedals by the way:

Yes, the first version cranks had issues but they are warrantied for life. Everything they make has been great since, stems, bars, grips, pedals and cranks.i had a bad experience with Dietys cranks back in the day where the right arm just snapped in half, so therefor i'll never buy any of there products again.
Spank is in final phases of an intense testing program, and plans to start shipments roughly around Christmas time. I hope you can all hold on till then! Feel free to contact Spank on the Contacts page of the website for updates (www.spank-bikes.com). The target MSRP is 99Euro, or roughly 110 USD. As a forged pedal at only 400g per pair, and only 12mm thick, this makes them a steal!
well the pedals are for my trailbike which i do only light freeride stuff, so hopefully i won't have a problem! thanks for the info..Yes, the first version cranks had issues but they are warrantied for life. Everything they make has been great since, stems, bars, grips, pedals and cranks.
I also have had issues with Atomlab pedals, bent spindles and pedal coming off the spindle. Iove their wheels but don't trust the pedals.
I want these.Pic to go with this. Still spinning smoothly, A full race season on all his bikes.
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=637&SortBy=PriceDESCBTW. I'm also quite suprised that Clips are never near these prices.
Roadies and xc'rs were always much more expensive in terms of parts than DH/FRers (hint - 500$ casettes). Only CB is dh/fr worthy and they tend to have silly prices.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=637&SortBy=PriceDESC
Prices start at $544 and down.![]()
i agree prices are out of control, thus why i went with the atomlabs, that are running me $60 bucks versus $150. there just flats that end up getting banged up....Am I the only one who thinks the whole flat pedal thing has gone crazy? We have 200$+ Pedals (hell reset has ones for 650$ !!!) and yes some are 100g lighter or a bit lower but compared to a pair of Wah Wahs that can be had for as low as 30$ (if you look around classfields/ebay) it's crazy to pay 5-10 times more for a marginable performance differance, especially if it's something that will be hitting the ground quite often.
I also like bling but this is getting ridiculous. I was just ready to buy a set of 150$ pedals but fortunately I've got my sanity back.

Expensive pedals are nothing new. I have a pair of Atomlab Trailking pedals that I bought over 5 years ago and they were over $100 then. Still have them actually.i agree prices are out of control, thus why i went with the atomlabs, that are running me $60 bucks versus $150. there just flats that end up getting banged up....
But don't you see the differance? 100$ was a lot back in the day? Now it's almost normal. Catalog pedals from Nuke cost more.Expensive pedals are nothing new. I have a pair of Atomlab Trailking pedals that I bought over 5 years ago and they were over $100 then. Still have them actually.
My point was, exactly as I stated, there were expensive pedals years ago. You know, there are PLENTY of cheap pedals out there now, they just aren't the thinnest/lightest/strongest options available. Nothing has changed.But don't you see the differance? 100$ was a lot back in the day? Now it's almost normal. Catalog pedals from Nuke cost more.
Also weaker and fragile. Mine took one hit and broke into 3 piecesI switched to Wellgo MG-1 pedals which are thinner, lighter, much cheaper and actually so grippy I've had to remove several pins per pedal side so I can move my shoes around if needed
Not really. Cheap pedal some time ago was 30$ now its 60$. Expensive was 100-120$ now it's 200$. Also now the "cheap" pedals are not really much worse than the top end ones (Ie. Wahwahs/ht's) compared to 40g lighter and marginaly lower spanks, points etc. Also I'm not really talking about the price but about how obsessed we got with flat pedals.My point was, exactly as I stated, there were expensive pedals years ago.
