I had concerns about the durability the Mental Mags after switching from the standard alloys but they were unfounded. My Blindside has a (for me anyway) low BB and I've gotten more than my share of pedal-strikes - - hard ones against nice, hard, square-edged Inland NW granite - - and I haven't lost a chunk out of them in two seasons. The pins have thrown sparks but none have ripped out or ovalized their holes. I'm darned impressed.
not sure, i have two sets and they are both silver like these.
My choice:
Suuuure does seem like a lot of cash for flats. They look great and I can't speak to the quality, but man....that's a lot of cash for platform pedals.
That spindle looks tiny, and the body is thinner than necessary. It just makes an uncomfortable bump around the bearings. To combat that they've run longer pins which prop your foot off the body itself. I think they're just competing to make the thinnest pedal. I would be interested to hear how they hold up after a couple of seasons. I like Canfield as a company, but I'm skeptical of those.
You trash the Truvativs, but Easton is just as bad. I bent a spindle in a set of those and discovered they offer no replacement parts whatsoever. None. It doesn't matter if the pedal is rebuildable, you can't get parts.
$190 to $420, depending on how much Ti you want. That's 10 to 21 pairs of cheapies. Even at wholesale that's as much as any other boutique set.
Likewise. I ride a lot and have yet to replace a pin. Tons of rock bashing, etc. Nice grip even wearing Vans. Just picked up another pair so I don't have to switch them between my DH and AM rigs.kona wah wah are still among my favourites. mine are faultless after 2 years of severe abuse.
I have 2/3 of a set of those pedals. Same story and I weigh 145lbs soaking wet.
