sstein Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 hey, any tips on these pedals?is there much diference between them for the £10 od extra ?thanks leogo for the copies they are cheaper and because the pins screw in from the bottom they are less likely to break.

Aaron.Tottman Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 dmr's will stay smoother for longer, i find the injection point for the grease on the dmr's saves so much time. stops them from spinning so much when you slip of them.if you ain't too bothered bout servicing go for the welgo's.i'd go for dmr though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Fisher Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 There must be a massive differance in them because loads of people run dmr v8 on there bike.I think there ether the most bought pedals on tarty or one of the most.They also last for ever and may need the once in a few years regressing which is so easy , so there is no hassle with them.They are alot smoother and i have only had 1 pair for two years.The wellgo v8 are just cheap copys.So go for the dmr v8.

Muel Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 The copies are terrible, the body smashes to pieces really easily, I had a set that lasted 2 weeks, then I got the real thing and they lasted 6 months, I only got rid because I bought a new bike.

With my V8s I had to replace the bearings every 2-3 months to keep them smooth, I am now using V12 copies with are cheaper than the V8s and use cartridge bearings so will be much smoother and last longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitters Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Not to hijack the thread here, but anyone else using the DMR V12s? I see sstein is using the copies. The V12's I've been using are working out quite nice. Is there something I don't know about 'em? Are the magnesium pedals prone to early failure or something compared to the V8s?
