Wellgo Mags + east coast rocks = epic fail.the wellgo mag didn't last long at all and the platforms felt tiny.

Butter soft. I lost 4 pins one time by just dragging the pins across a rock.
The worst part is the bodies are so soft when you lose a pin, the threads come with it.
Well put, Burgtec all the way.Penthouse flats, way to expensive to be sensible but the best feeling peddle I've ridden in my opinion. They can take a serious beating aswell not so light tho....
I agree with that. Mines are at their 4th season.Wellgo B-27
Nothing special but they work and they are tough at the right price.
Another vote for Straitline.
More straitline votes - 3 years (admittedly dont get a lot of days in) but heeavy dude and smashed against rocks - still going strong. No slop, stiff but smooth spinning if anything.Another vote for Straitline.
Wide and really grippy. Very durable.
Their customer service is excellent too. I had one of the original pairs of pink pedals, with an early spindle type. When it seemed to be a bit gritty (I, um, crash a bit), I called them up, and they had me send them in. They rebuilt my pedals with the new spindles and said if I ever had an issue to call them again.
Great guys. Small company living the dream.
Yeah great pedal but funny enough it's the only pedal that hasn't lasted me more than 12months! Bearings **** the bed and aren't servicable or replaceable??Truvativ Holzfeller. Hands down.
All the pins are replaceable from underneath.
Only pedal that lasted me for a year.
Yep, one of the guys on our Whistler trip had 2 days on his when the spindle on the one locked up. not sure what the failure was... but only getting 2 days on an expensive pedal kind of sucks, no matter what the cause.It's good to see no votes for Atomlabs.
You know my wife? lolThe twenty6 and straightlines are nice pedals if you can convince the wife you need to spend that much on pedals. Holzfellers are well put together, but the shape is pretty bad. Atomlab's new pedals are not the pinnacle of reliability. I tend to avoid anything that thin. They always skimp on the bearing size to make them so thin, and I haven't seen a bushing pedal I like aside from the straightline. Avoid wellgo mag pedals like the plague, I broke the body in half on the first ride.
My favorite pair of pedals right now is a set of odyssey cielenski unsealed pedals. Cheap ($20), durable, large back-access pins, and a good shape. They come in magnesium if you're really concerned with the weight. That's my vote.
damn they are nice looking and by the pin placement look grippy as all get out! whats the price on them?Twenty6 pedals rock. Almost too pretty to bash.....almost
I must have got the model after yours, I have the nasty ones with the circlip on the end of the axle. Mine had the bushes replaced after three weeks, the new bushes lasted about four weeks til they were flogged. I was told not to bother fixing them as a few local riders had the pedal body fly off while riding.I'll go ahead and take all the dirty looks but say my Atomlab Aircorps are absolutely awesome. I rebuilt them this year for the first time after two years of riding and no maintenance. Fresh bearings, a spindle polish, new pins and a coat of spray paint and I have near new pedals.
These are the 01-02 model, bushing/bearing design. I know the newer ones are not as good, so YMMV.
Customer service was also top notch.

Since I am Atomlab bashing, I managed to bend three sets of their cr-mo bars in four rides, the last set I got I gave the LBS a demo of how **** they were. I let a mech ride my bike then I gave it a quick stomp bent the bars upwards and put the mech on the bike again. He had a dumb look on his face and let out a few naughty words and asked how that is possible with an almost half kilo bar.
Bars in the bin, no more Atomlab for me thanks.
