I know pretty much everyone sticks by DMR v8s/v12s due to there 'so-called' strength, but i think they bend fat too much, and dont grip when your feet are wet. I stick by my good old vp duoble caged pedals, as well as other riders do. £12 for a set, last about 2-3months, then the grip starts to go( especially if you ride BIU on rocks, or sidehop to pedal).
