Picked up a new set of Dark Cycles Arachnid Pedals - can't wait to try them out. They should be plenty grippy. They came from a new products show and are not in production yet. It's too bad I can't ride the buggers until the snow is gone up here in central Alberta.
My shins should like them too.

You should waste time and weigh them.

I think those HAVE TO go on my next bike.

Dude, my legs have gouges in them just looking at those pedals. Post some pics after your first shin-guardless ride on the bad boys.

dude I saw those pedals from photos at interbike. They look siiiiick. I love Dark Cycles other pedals too. Awesome machining on both pedals. They look like they would be great in muddy conditions...

15.7 ounces, or 445 grams of tasty custom cnc ... Apparently there are only two sets out there right now, but they should be available in the new year.
I agree - they make unique stuff. Functional and quality too, from what I am told.

Never saw a side proflie shot before, they look extremely thin, I think I have found my next purchase.

 

[HowlerMonkey]

I purchased my pedals from ebay - the guy who sold them to me, Hunter from www.abandonracing.com told me in an email that the arachnids will be available in clear ano and gold ano early in the New Year. Not a shameless plug/spam - I have never met him before - just trying to let those who are interested know where to find them. Cheers,

Dennis

These pedals are by far the trickest Since the Hutch Bear Traps. Here is a side view of the pedals for you to drool over. Enjoy

wow very nice.......but how much did they set you back if you dont mind.

 

[HowlerMonkey]

No - I don't mind; just over 130 shipped. I had to have them. Kind of like a smoker with lots of money and there is only one pack of cigarettes to be had. There are always ppl who will say that I paid too much, but it comes down to who's $$ is being spent. Peace.

 

[rhd]

god those look painful...........

do you know what the MSRP will be when they're fully released to the public?

 

[HowlerMonkey]

I havn't got the faintest idea. Try emailing Dark Cycles and asking - couldn't hurt; after all they are close to release.

I agree, but the same can be said about a Chris King Headset or a Thomson seatpost. We're all guilty of it, I know I am. But the way I see it, is that these are pedals you'll have for a long time. Just like the King headset that goes from one bike to another.

Take the "northshore leggeaters" got them for some months and i'm rly happy with them
=> strong
=> Easy to open for cleaning
=> SICK grip

Man, innovation doesn't come along for something as simpla as a flat pedal very often - where they are functional and look like that. With winter up here all that I can do is play with the blue ones, but geez, they are gonna be some grippy. Likely need new shoes every couple of weeks hehe.

 

[psychobiker]

lets hear about a dh test and durability please...they look like i want some
