What Pedals

Ive got some DMR v12s that i rode for a tad on my mountain bike. When i got my monty, it had knackerd V8s on it so i swaped them over and im not to happy with the way the expensiveV12s hold up to trials. I reckon its time to change the bearings : (N) . I might try a set of those Wellgo's next when i get back on my mountain bike.

I use dmr v8 (strong,grippy,all the pins are like new still after a year)

welgo mags are good but ive seen too many people run them and the bearings are f**ked and they make some weird noises when you pedal back wards :unsure:

and ill never go back to cage pedals after one of them snapped in the cold on me :sick:

dmr v8s fo sho.....v12s are overpriced and develop play quite quickly, wellgo v8 copies snap easily....caged vps just twist / blunt / don't grip

Also, the "pimp my pedal kits" do not use, they've got alloy pins instead of steel, so wear down horrendously quickly...plus all the anodising wears off in about a week or two

What i find with pedals like v8s and v12s were the pins screw down into the pedals is that if you use you pedal to help you get up hings or when you clip the edges of things it rips the pins out and rips the thread out of the pedal body so you cant put new pins in. im useing caged pedal at the moment, the spikes can get bent over but you can bend them back up with mole grips but this can weeken them so i think the best kind of pedal are ones like slim jims wich the pins screw in form the other side on the back pins (which are at the frount on the underneath) so thair is less chance of riping them out

You can mend it, drill the hole through the body, tap the hole and fit a bolt in, only works on the ones where theres space for a bolt head behind the body.

That is a canny good idea, so could you put the slim jump bolts im v12s? Thats like the best of both worlds.
