MadManMike Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Depends on what footwear you use also mate - I've always used DMR V8's or the cheap replicas and never had an issue, unless wearing the wrong kinda shoes. V8's I find are a good choice, from my experience they tend to last forever too, but then I'm not exactly hardcore so I guess they never took too much abuse.

J.KYDD Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I've always found the platform of V8's a little small. Im currently using Onza Hognesiums (wellgo mg1)and am really getting on with them. Never been a great fan of cages due to their fragility and shin-munching nature. However they are super grippy and damn light.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yeah I think with pedals it's definitely a case of what fits you best - I've just always used V8's so I'm used to them. Maybe try out a few different bikes with the shoes you use and see which feel "right" for you. Platforms have always felt a bit wrong to me and I took a chunk outta my shin with 'em pretty quickly which put me off, but I may have just been unlucky.

sstein Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 If you want ultra grip then go for a set of gusset prosecutors...but that is really something I dont recommend. V12s or wellgo V12 copies are the best pedals on the market i find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Get platforms. In fact, get whatever you use already. People will just tell you what they prefer. Caged pedals are better for shedding mud, other than that, preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) combo of welgo mg1 + some trial shoes is awesome. I´ve got trialtech caged and 5ten freerider shoes and grip is awesome but on mg1 is better + platform pedals withstand longer ...

isitafox Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'd highly recommend the 2011 Echo TR platforms, they are scandolously grippy and even gripped amazingly on my old running trainers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
