tintin Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm looking at treating my self with some pedals and was just wondering out of the platform ti and cage ti witch is best, I know the caged ones are lighter , I'm using the echo try platform at the moment and the 5 10 descent shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTrials2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'd go with the platforms, because the grip is very good, and if you're buying £100+ pedals you want strength, which platforms are good for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M S/c Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The new Monty ones are outperforming the echo ones on Adams bike. Very light and the aluminium is a lot tougher. The echo cages seemed soft and quickly wore out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Out of those two I'd get the platforms as I know it'd last much longer. But if you're happy with replacing the cage then go with the cages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintin Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have noticed caged pedals wearing out from using them in the past , I'll have a look at the Monty ones as well Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Definitely echo platforms, i changed from caged to platform (both echo) and the platforms are much grippier.* * These were the normal ones, not ti, so i dont know if its different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrider88 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Echo spindles are very weak,if you weight more than 140,I wouldn´t bother really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 buy 3 sets of nukeproof electrons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 buy 3 sets of nukeproof electrons Ive heard good comments on these pedals and why not get a custom machined ti axle for the neutons most likley going to be cheaper aswell?

dave33 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Just the echo ones or titanium axles in general ? Echo spindles are very weak,if you weight more than 140,I wouldn´t bother really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Didn´t I say echo spindles?wellgo mg-1 are much stronger,thickness difference is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintin Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'm 143lb - 65kg but I don't do massive drops ect Cheers for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) i worked out that one of the nukeproof ti axles for the neutron alloy pedals will fit the electron with a little modification you also loose one of the sealed bearings dropping weight thurther. by my maths thats a 270g electron pedal. 10g heavier than echo ti platforms. but its £35 to replace the body, bush and bearing, you just buy a new electron every time you trash the body win win really Edited June 23, 2012 by dezmtber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 So ur saying echo use shit material or ? As the dia isn't much less Didn´t I say echo spindles?wellgo mg-1 are much stronger,thickness difference is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 echo use the best alloy you can get. i am saying i think alloy pedals have had there day, the newer nylon pedals are where its at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I was meaning the material for the axles, as the ti bolts echo make are poor. Any ti pedal axles iv seen in Mtb/road etc have always been really strong. Same for the welgo mag with ti axles, I had some and gave them a beating and are still going echo use the best alloy you can get. i am saying i think alloy pedals have had there day, the newer nylon pedals are where its at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well its really too soon for me to say. I have only had the to axles in a week now. So far they seem fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
