alex-trials-boy Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, saw these on pinkbike and they look sweet! Brand new, hot from the mould and looking very slick (as well as quite painful should you slip one) are these LG1+ and LG1R pedals. Featuring an aluminium spine through the center, this is then sandwiched with impact resistant plastic plates that also hold the pedal pins. The platform is large, the pins are frankly brutal (think scary), and the plastic plate's nice concave surface leave this pedal with the potential for some serious grip. There is a neat feature on the outside end of the pedal which enables a rider to fine tune the rotational friction of the pedal and thus the speed it spins at. Rotating on IGUS bearings which are self lubricating, the real test will be in the sealing. They feel smooth in your hand, the shape seems pretty dialed and the utilization of the plastic plates is fairly unique while enabling riders to replace a damaged portion of the pedal easily - potentially when a number of pins are ripped from the body. • LG1+ features CroMoly axle and pins (468g) • LG1R features titanium axle and pins (380g) • 4mm & 7mm pins are both included in the pack. • IGUS bearings Edited September 3, 2011 by alex-trials-boy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex-trials-boy Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Love the fact you can fine tune the rotational friction of the pedal, but i guess its another thing to go wrong DH pedals though, should be able to take a bashing. Another pic AND FOR YOU LAURENCE Less than ten millimeters thick and cast from chromoly steel, the MT-Zero places the sole of the rider's shoe nearly on center with the pedal axle. Actually, the Zero doesn't have a true pedal axle. The pedal platform is cantilevered from a stub-shaft that rides in a single ball bearing. Tioga's clever design took a year to perfect. Reportedly, the machining tolerances required to manufacture the steel housing that threads into the crankarm on one end, and supports the bearing and all of the pedal's bending moments on the other end. Tioga MT-Zero pedals sell for $99 USD in black or white. Weight is reported to be only 135 grams a pair Edited September 3, 2011 by alex-trials-boy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 the weight is wrong for those Tioga pedals, they are more near 500g. Not a fan of either personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 the weight is wrong for those Tioga pedals, they are more near 500g. Not a fan of either personally. Was gonna say that is lighter than the Ti Crank Brothers Egg Beater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
