2sixstreet Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Is anyone running these pedals for trials and if so how do they hold up. Am currently running V8's and looking for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 This is the 'I could use Google, but I'd rather not' link.giggedyThey look pretty alright. I'd buy a pair but mine are still going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 That particular type of pin system is shit though. Every pedal I've used that's used that type of pin has been toss.Magnesium Trailmix pedals should be out soon. Aluminium already are.Macneil FACE pedals are out now.Fly Ruben pedals are out now.

2sixstreet Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Mark do you mean with a crosshead is why they are shit or just in general. A bit of clarification as to why would be appreciated. I'm tearing pins out of my V8's at a moderate rate and want to minimise that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 The cross-head pins tend to have smaller diameters, and they strip out really, really easily on every pedal I've had like that. Allen-key pins that go in from the bottom tend to be way better.If you're killing pins, just choose a 'grind' side. Have one side that you make sure is always by your foot with the pins in, then go nuts on the other side and don't worry about it. It's what I used to do with my Best Pedals Ever.

Luke Rainbird Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Get Wellgo MG1s. Really impressed with mine.On that note - I know a fair few of you use these (wellgo, onza etc, it's all the same!)How do they rate? Pin death imminent, or fairly average? Looking at getting some but would like some reviews etc first please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 That sounds like way too much hard work but thanks for the advice.How is it hard work? You know by feel if you're on the right side or not, if it's slippy, take your foot off and the pedal will spin round a bit, then just put it on the other side. I do it on my BMX too, and mid-run I can change side if I need to almost instantly. It's 100% easier than f**king up both sides of your pedals...

If so, mine were terrible for losing pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Shittest pedals ever?Nah, just rediculously overpriced like most fly stuff.Also magnesium is soft right? so theoretically will lose pins more, and isnt it pretty brittal (can somthing be soft an brittal ?) crack... I dunno just dont seem good for people that are hard on there pedals. Edited April 21, 2008 by Tom_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I honestly doubt you'll fine anyone who's used them pedals before. They seem pretty standard to be fair and probably won't be any better than the V8s. Take a look at the Shimano DX pedals, the ones i've gone back to running over my DMR V12 Mags I'm also oh so curious to how the Hoffman pedals feel. With a steel nut insert for each pin i recon they must be the best idea for pedals yet. I'm suprised people don't run them, then again people go for names these days.But yeah most pedals won't take constant abuse, some last day(s) and others year(s) if your lucky. I'm definetly not changing my choice of trials pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a lot of similar styles to the DX but not many can match them - gotta be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suprised people don't run them, then again people go for names these days.Or alternatively, more people might just be wanting to wait and find out what the pedals are like from other people, just like you are?Anyways, my Hoffman pedals were mediocre. The pedals don't really grip all that much, and I had a couple of the pins come loose a few times. They didn't come out, but they weren't really tight. Equally, if you batter the pins they deform and are a nightmare to get out of the nut afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Take a look at the Shimano DX pedals, the ones i've gone back to running over my DMR V12 Mags DX nostalgia, quite a good read if you got's the time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 The major downside I found to DXs was just their random pin size. I've got a bunch of spare Jim C type pins and DMR type pins, but no-one else uses the ridiculously narrow pins that DXs use, so when you inevitably lose them, you can't replace them as easily. Mine weren't all that grippy to begin with, developed play and developed some kind of miraculous mirror finish, so yeah, I wasn't too into them. I ran a pair of DMR V12s (mag bodied) for a while and they were pretty sweet. Had to choose a grind side for them 'cos they just lost pins otherwise, but apart from the play they developed they were pretty decent. They've got a kinda small contact area though compared to other pedals I've tried which feels weird at first, and the bodies are pretty deep so that's a bit different too, but once you get past that they're not bad.

forteh Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Got V8s on my trials bike, old shape V12s on my bmx and easton flatboys on my santa cruz, they eastons are by far the best pedals Ive used, alittle loathe to use 70 quid pedals on the trials bike though so Ill just keep with the dmrs IMHO you cant beat the original DXs (the reason I still have a set of old shape V12s on my standard) will certainly look at the mx30s for future pedal needs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin death imminent, or fairly average? Looking at getting some but would like some reviews etc first please!Mine have been excellent, I don't twat them a lot, but certainly every ride. Bearings are good, they look good. They are very light.I have used the pins that screw in from the other side before, and they were dire, every time I smashed the pedal on something one of them would strip the thread out of the pedal body, making it impossible to replace the pins. With the stud pins, they screw right down the to bottom, so when they get smashed up, you can replace them by simple undoing them with a pair of pliers.
