Herbertlemon102 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I've just upgraded from my plastic electrons to the new plastic horizons- it's rare that every fault with a pedal has been fixed with its successor, but nukeproof have done it. For starters: the plastic pins on the main platform have been replaced with metal, whilst the metal ones on the outer edge have been replaced with plastic. I broke the electrons outer metal ones on failed sidehops, and nukeproof have fixed that with the horizon and provided more central grip as a result. Secondly- the outer bolt with the nukeproof logo has been moved inboard on the horizon. (see pictures) I stripped the electrons as a result of failed sidehops and/ or the bike falling over (only my sidehops side pedal, though.) And nukeproof have fixed this issue too with a recessed bolt and a different pedal profile so the pedal body takes the brunt, not the bolt/ thread channel. The super tough plastic body makes a return, as tough as metal pedals, and quieter when you crash and the pedals hit the ground. And also a lighter pedal than metal equivalents. They've added a spanner fitting as well as a Allen fitting on the horizon, which is handy as I struggled to get my electrons off via just a big Allen key, they'd been on there a while. Fixings: 8mm Allen, 15mm pedal spanner, 6mm Allen. Ill be stocking up on these. Downsides: the pins on both are unforgiving and will ruin your shins. Possibly more dirt build up in the horizons new recessed bolt channel. Edited December 12, 2016 by Herbertlemon102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just to clarify it a little, the plastics are the Comps, the alloy ones are the Pros. Been using the Pros for quite a while now - prefer the body shape of them to the Electrons, they feel a little more concave-y/less convex-y than the Electrons did to me. Seem to be holding up well in general too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Bonus super fun fact: The Nukeproof Electron Evo pedals are now called the Nukeproof Neutron pedals, despite the Neutrons being the name of the previous generation of alloy pedals Nukeproof did (the Inspired Team style ones). Nice work, Nukeproof 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
