Jake. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I can't believe you're even considering them? What's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) F'me! Quick response.. what's wrong with em?? I thought they looked pretty cool. :)I don't know about budget I suppose 30 ish Edited August 6, 2013 by f**megently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 They look vile, I'm sure most would agree with me. Have you considered wellgos? Echo tr platforms are really light and comfortable, I had mine for a year (they were second hand) but I've started doing bigger stuff and don't trust them as much. I use superstar platforms now and they feel really solid, £45 I think they were. 440g so a bit weighty but feel solid.But yeah if your budget is maxed at 30 then you won't go wrong getting wellgos, you could get some second hand pedals on here too.

*gentlydoesit Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I'm glad of the advice, is it just the looks though? I'm a bit eccentric so they kinda suit * Do you think they'd be man enough, I mean can you get ti axle pedals for that money or are they fake? In the early to mid nineties well go were absolute pants, I'm assuming by the recommendation that they stepped up their game since then, but ive still got a negative on them.. I could wallop my crupi pedals on from my bmx for a while and increase my budget. ...Still I do like those pedals, and their sooo cheap... *If I had say a budget of 50ish what else could I get that are light ,obscure and interesting? (As that's kinda my bag) Edited August 6, 2013 by f**megently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/index.php?cPath=42 I have the nano through pedals. You might like the ones below them in a weird X shape if you like weird pedals.Those pedals aren't for weight weenies though haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I like the ones you got the best, but there a bit of a beef cake! The magnesium ones are nice too. Ooo decisions, decisions. you think definatly not ebay pedals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Dunno about you but the fact the pedals are quite small puts me off, it's 8 quid and has a titanium axle, and 3 weeks waiting would annoy me. Also if that weight is true, at 199g all I'm thinking is snap. But if you like it get it. "Product Details: Condition: Brand New Color: Titanium Material: Body: Aluminium 6061 T6 & Copper Axle: Titanium Size : 80mm x 80mm x 17mm Weight: 195g/pair Features: Spindle: 9/16", Full CNC Titanium Alloy Grade 5 Bearing : 4 Seald Cartridge Bearing Shipment: China Post Register Air Mail Please note that air mails normally take 15-20 days to arrive."

dngr2self Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) If you could afford to take a gamble on them then maybe. Personally I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot chop stick, they'll either not arrive, fall apart, snap, not actually be Ti or all of the above. If a deal seems too good to be true then it usually is, especially if it's from China. Just realised that if they don't arrive they can't snap. Doh!

hezzay Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm quite sure they're not Ti. Chinese products are always made of cheap materials. Trust me, I've seen enough Chinese product to know. I'd save yourself the hassle and go with a, obviously more expensive, long term solution and get yourself a decent set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) It wouldn't be a gamble with money, it'd be with safety! I thought it could be too good to be true, and it probably is!! That why I ran them by y'all But im such a perv I still like them though. However I won't buy 'em. Thanx for the input Ten ft chop stick. hehe Edited August 6, 2013 by f**megently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykid009 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) For 30 quid you can get some Nukeproof Electrons. Not sure why you would consider much else.... Edited August 6, 2013 by krazykid009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike_dummie Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 You may like these pedals? I have been riding my pair for about 2 years now so they are defiantly strong enough for trials Last time i checked i weighed just under 15 stone - http://www.evanscycles.com/products/specialized/lo-pro-mag-2-pedals-ec007454?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=froogle&utm_content=mkwid__pcrid_19178765816_kword__match__plid_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) So, as sad as I am, I've been looking for pedals all day and I've narrowed it down to ten sets that i think kick ass! I cant decide which to get, i could buy any!? (Well its actually eleven but one set is the elephant in the room see if you can guess which.) *** after posting I realized some of them I can't get, oh and I'm a twat :/ Edited August 6, 2013 by f**megently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gentlydoesit Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Erm, nothing. But why climb mountains? That and I'm a rite w*nker I just love weird sh!t, novelty value I guess. Also let's face it I'm most likely not going to be as good as most of you so i wont need the same level of equiptment, at least not while I'm a learner. I came to trials as a 35year old ex bmx'er who's looking to re-live his youth. I think its more important to have fun than take myself too seriously, so why not?? *photo bucket won't let me in!!

If I realllllllllllly had to choose from that bunch, I'd probably go with the 50/50s. But I value my shins more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
