Pedals, Bit Of Adviced Would Be Good

[basher]

I could search as ino topics like this have been asked but the answer won't be there.

Im coeming up to needing some new ones soon. Lately ive been using caged pedals as there cheap and grippy but do go blunt and bent. I changed to them because im fed up of pins ripping out of platform pedals, every ride you would rip another one out. Now im getting fed up of having to buy new caged ones every few months.

Does anyone no off any platform pedals that are decent with good grip and im not going to loose pins all the time. or should i just stick to caged.

I used the vp one pedals today. The pins dont rip out, they have good grip, quite light and are smooth. I can't think of anything more you can ask for. I would recommend them for your troubles.

I think (hope) a lot of people would agree that for the money : quality ratio, DMR V8s pretty much take a dump on most others. I had mine for about two years, and obviously a few pins went, but not enough to affect their grip, and the grease port on them is pretty handy too.

I had DMR V8s, they are so strong. I seem to remember I smashed one of the pins off, and it didn't rip the threads out of the body or anything, it just got bent and mashed.

Don't get Wellago MG-1s, I have them now, and they are very light and the grip is great, but they aren't the hardiest pedals in the world.

Im using Law Moto-X pedals i bought from JE James Cycles £30. its a large platform/cage combo design, so its heavy duty strength, and heavy weight.

I have DMR V8's on my 26" and ive only lost 1 pin in the whole time of having my bike

although admittedly i dont ride hardcore haha.

Im getting some Trial-Tech mag sports this week and il let you know how they are

I use dmr v8's and there the best pedals i have used i did run cages but after bending them and loosing the bolts all the time i gave up on them.

Also if you buy a set of v8's new you may get some spare pins, my mate did with his gusset slim jims so dmr may possibly do the same but surely you could just loctite the pins in or something to stop losing them if they were to fall out?

I knew people would say v8's and there exactly the pedals im avoiding because of pins ripping out.

Have a look round some BMX shops. You can get platform pedals with studs mouled into them, so theres no hasstle with pins coming out. I run them on my BMX and they are awesome.

Thanks mate, been looking for something like that on chainreaction but not found anything

[that NBR dude]

I'll have a look round some sites, you can tell I'm bored at work.

If not, I will look see what pedals mine are when I get home, might give some clue as to where to get them. Best place to try first I would say, would be Billys.

When the pin rips out, try drilling the hole straight through and tapping it bigger, then you get a deeper, wider, stronger thread. Then just stick a bolt through it.

You might want to do some filing though, bigger studs can get caught in your shoes easier I find.

[sideburns(dnt ask)]

shimano dx's seem to be a popular choice round the bedford area.

i have a set on my bmx and there light strong and all round amazing bro.

peace

These may not be the best pedals I agree, but the 4-Jeri DX copys have cast studs rather than replaceable pins, and at £10, you can afford to get a few pairs when they wear down. 4-Jeri DX copys

this is what you need, some onza shindigs with self tapping screws put through

Moto Law-X pedals £30 from JE James cycles. big platform area , and weigh a ton . would be perfect if you could get titanium axles for them .
