call me a noob, i do have a search, but found nothing about, what i'm intrested in.

i'm looking for a good set of platform pedals: the lightest and thickest ever made.
please, post your best here with the weight info.
i could say, money doesn't matter, but no, it does matter, so (if possible) under 100 bucks (usd)

thanks for help.

sorry i have no idea about the prices in the US

EDIT: or hungary

 

[Curb Hucker]

http://www.xpedo.com/mxforce.htm check out these, one of which is 408g and only $80

 

[soulfly]

ooh, it looks sexy.

any ideas how much is syncros mental pedals weight?

 

[zedro]

why thickest? thats typically a bad thing.

 

[Kntr]

I have a set of the Xpedo MX3 on the way. They are super light, hopefully strong too.

 

[soulfly]

why thickest? thats typically a bad thing.

can i ask why?

 

[zedro]

can i ask why?

i asked you why first!

anyways, both ground clearance and feel (remember your dad putting on big wooden block pedal extenders when you were young?)

 

[soulfly]

i asked you why first!

yeah, that's right.

i thought, thickest pedals have more space to use bigger axes and bearings. - they could be more stonger with less of weight. (like thin wall aluminium tubes, or something)

Azonic has a new A-frame pedal for 05' that is super sick! Magnesium body with ti spindle and great bearings and replacable set screws. I think this pedal is by far the pimpest platform pedal out! Check out www.azonicusa.com or call Chris Reilly at Azonic and he can give you the lowdown.

quality trumps pure size, so bigger isnt necessarily better. Plus the chunkier pedals tend to have flat profiles instead of concave ones, the latter giving better grip and feel.

edit: is it just me or does Azonic have the worst website in the industry? feels like online shopping at a virtual Walmart....

hahahaha....True!!

Here are some pics comparing Easton Cully's to the new Xpedo MX-3

i like the fact that my Axioms share the same basic Cully design at 2/3rds the cost and less weight

 

[joelsman]

I like my wellgo magnesium flats, supergo puts there name on these too. 375g and about $50, bearings are still good after a year

 

[heikkihall]

Trust me you dont want to go with a thick pedal. Any thick pedals I know of dont use the space well and have crap for bearings anyway. Get a nice pair of well designed and proven pedals. I personally like really thin pedals with a very large platform. The top guys on flats racing the world cup circuit typically run Easton Cullys or Flatboys, Atomic Aircorps or Funn pedals. Ive had good luck with all of those listed. Also another pair of my favorite flat pedals are the Wellgo B-27s. Theyre cheap too!

 

[Stiff]

How's the DH/FR scene in Hungary? The Wellgo mag pedal pins strip out way too easy, but the things are light.

 

[MaD666MaX]

im still with my syncros mental not light but hell strong!

 

[AlberTop]

CRANK BROTHERS MALLET M PEDALS - 464 grams

I like to be clipped.

are you competing with Brian HCM or something? :devil:

 

[HRDTLBRO]

I use cheap Wellgo B-37's, but they have great grip and last a long while. They pins do stip out easily, i'm missing 4 from one side of my right pedal. I also use the Mallet C's, but have yet to put them back on my DH bike. They are beat to hell but still run perfectly!

 

[dexter]

get the welgo mag pedals and then the ti spindles from **** one of the weird mail order deals (not qbp)

 

[Curb Hucker]

I think his royal fatness has given up on making the bike light. That new fork of his killed the lightweight scheme

 

[soulfly]

thanks for the many answers.

stiff: the dh/fr scene isn't big in hungary, i could call it "familiar"

back to the pedals: in hungary the wellgos are really cheap, and i had also 2-3 of them, but i had no great experience using wellgo platforms. the bearings are crap, and they loose eaily pins... could be this magnesium one better, or any wellgos are the same?
in weight, i would like to go under 450 gramms / pair. cully signatures looking really godd, but with 530 gramm, they fall out.

at this point, xpedos are the favourite, but if anyone has better idea, don't hold it back!

edit: recently noticed, "expedo components by wellgo" LOL

that is not the point I was trying to make...Soulfly is asking for good FLAT pedals, and AlberTop suggest that he gets clips just because that is what HE uses....see where I'm getting at?

ok, now I see, Luc you should get an avy

 

[UiUiUiUi]

and a white brothers fork plus a brroklyn race link with arrow DHX rims...

Oh I too get it now And yes Don is correct, you do need an AVY. :eviltongu

[soulfly]

anything related to my pedal problem?

 

[Acadian]

Welgo's are a good choice if the price is right. There is this new company in the UK called BURGTEC that is making nice pedals..you might want to check them out
http://www.burgtec.co.uk/

I personally like the Cully's...Although I did kill the bearing in two pairs of them. But the nice thing, Easton has an awesome CS department, and they replaced both pairs for FREE. One pair was even like 2 years old and beat to hell...they still sent me a new pair. up to Easton.

 

[soulfly]

did i mention, that i live in europe? in hungary, we don't have any easton distributor (and except wellgo, none of the above mentioned has distributor here) so my pedal would come from some kind of internet retailer. and warranty problems doesn't seems the strength of this kind of stores... anyway: if my pedal broke (or just one of the bearings) it could take 3-4 weeks, to get my pedals back, so i'm looking something, that last min. 2-3 season (i heard easton pedal problems)

Did I tell you to buy Easton? NO! I was just saying that it what "I" prefer - sheesh!

You’re asking us for suggestions - how many people here do you think has been to Hungary? How are we suppose to know what is available there or not? Sounds like your options are limited...just get the cheapest pedals you can find and replace if needed...

 

[soulfly]

heyheyhey.

not so heated.

it's OK, you don't said to me, "buy easton", you just said, you prefer it. fine. i said, i don't prefer it. what is the problem?

i'm looking for a pedal, that is well built, could last more than one season and light.
is this thing so difficult?
i don't think so.

i want your tip's because here i don't have any choices but cheap sh*t, that i must replace every 3-4 month..

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I've been using Azonics for a few years and they have worked out well. I keep losing the pins, but get replacements very easily. They are not the lightest, but not the heaviest either.

The Xpedo's are light, but they are new - so who knows how strong they are.

The Tioga MX pedals are also nice and light, with a large platform - one of the only pedals that lasted me more than a full season. Wellgo also has a pedal that look exactly like the Tioga - also cheaper I think.

Norco/Axiom also has a nice pedal - Roadgaps. I never used them, but I have friends that have and they seem to like them.

The Shimano's are smooth as butta, but lack grip. if you replace the pins with longer one (or some spikes from Woodman Components) they are nice. also fully rebuildable.

No pedal is indestructible – if you run them hard and bash them against rocks, they will most likely loose pins or worse, jack up the bearings/axle.

Many here have been talking about the NYC freeride pedals...they also look pretty nice.

 

[soulfly]

thanks.

 

[krazydher1]

How much are those BURGTECS in us bucks..it says in the Dirt mag that they are 125 lbs but in US that like 240$...is that true?

 

[bizutch]

www.sunrims.com ... check out the octane mag pedals

 

[Spunger]

I hope someone said that those Azonic pedals with Ti spindles are $200. Little pricey in my eyes....

Atom Labs, Shimano, Easton, and others all make nice race worthy pedals. Expect to pay $60+ for any of them. I bought some SunRingle ZuZu's and I am thinking about getting some thinner better ones as they feel tall and not grippy to me. My Shimano DX pedals are much more comfy on my feet then the zuzu's. I bougt them because I was being cheap. The aircorps are looking better each day

 

[bizutch]

I just got a set of Azonic A Frame's but I would like to try the '05 MTN X pedal. Same shape as the Xtension pedal, but with a larger contact patch but still tons of mud clearance. We be on them thar' East Coast muddy mountains and all....
