Yes, I would recommend them. And I'm currently considering a second pair for my other non-DH bike. I will preface it with a warning that I haven't had much time on them, only a few XC-ish rides and one day of shuttle runs. Comparing them to pedals I've had over the years, they feel like they should be good, but I don't have enough test time on them to say much that is terribly meaningful in terms of real-world experience. My day of shuttle runs was my first back on the bike after months off from an injury, and I was in some very loose gnar, which I hate. The pedals didn't feel as natural as I hoped they would, but I was still dusting off the cobwebs, and I had failed to use the super-long pins around the spindle as suggested by the instructions. I hope to have more meaningful input soon.
sure they are
two weeks
the are 30% stiffer though, so that is good.
hopefully they wont suck like DN did
I feel the same. The market is flooded with expensive pedals but none wowed me so far. The thin pancake race got silly. I want crazy grip and pins that stay on. Pedals dont have to be crazy thin, just not too high. Though these ones dont even look very thin. Simply nothing special.
Hey philip! any possibility of a revision on the cranks? specifically putting a radius on the square edged relief on the crankarms....i LOVED the cranks but my sneakers get hung up on them really badly........Those are the full CNC pin-placement mule prototypes that have been rocking around all season...DH race pedal that lasts. Final pedal should be a bit prettier...need to save something for Interbike right?
agree
yah, didn't burgtec finally get with the program recently and bring their 40mm thick pedal down to 39mm thickness because they realized customers wanted thinner pedals?
Haven't noticed it at all, but then again, I don't rub my shoe/ankle much.
I have crampons now, i do like them but the one draw back to me is the center spindle...I have some footing issues occasionally...I might be willing to give up some thin(ness) for well placed pins.
all of the drive side crank arms on my bikes are polished from my shoe (e.13 is getting there) so i guess it might be the way i ride.
i concur. best balance of light weight / great performance / price & durability ever. pedals are consumables; dumping big coin on something like this that gets routinely smashed on rocks is just silly, imo. i'm a big fan of these:
I disagree. I have purchased quality pedals that lasted for years. I am not sold on the plastic pedal fad at all. Time will tell, but I suspect they will go away just like they have in years past - granted the composites now are better, but I still think metal pedals will stay the norm.
i have to kind of agree. I have some atomic pedals from 2002 that are still going strong. I rebuilt them at the start of last season with fresh bearings, pins, and a little grease. They are fantastic pedals that cost a premium then and have lasted so friggin long.
