Michael Hardman Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Just looking through chainreactions site and I sawe these, mag bodies and a cage but they look a little weak as in im gonna end up riping he cage off like all my past vp pedals. What do people reckon, oh and I want cage as they seem to feel nicer despite my ability to break them too easily. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=5206 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I had a pair ages ago that I loved. However, don't buy the Gusset version which is slightly different 'cos they're slippery to the max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathergoodpie Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 ive got the gusset mags and they grip like buggery (Y) only trouble with these styles of pedal is that the cage bit nearest the crank tends to bend and snap off. all four bits are off my pedals after only 9 months Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hardman Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 vp pedals suck mike, you should have learnt that by now, the amount of new vps you have bought while my v12's have lasted me years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 They look good to me, ashton and some other top riders used to use pedals that looked exactly like those but they were anodized in different colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 try some club roost 1 ds, I think winstanleys bmx are doing them for £10 now (Y) or wooly hat shop do the 2d virsion for £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 the cage ones on top of the page are crap. the ends of the cages snap off where the screws go through, so little material holding it to the rest of the cage. I had bad experience with the club roost 1d aswell.. the cages' teeth bent in and bye bye grip.. VP doublecage (modded to single cage) or a platform.....

JT! Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Magnesium, and a cage. Sounds like they wont last very long. If your a uci'ish rider, they should be ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want cheap pedals as stupidly i sold my v12mags with ti axles and shludnt have but thats my fault ← Go for onza shin digs then, they are tough, strong and offer great grip! The cage pedals in that link will not last you very long atall :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_Buchanan Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 like ali says the club roost 1d's or the 2's d's are great alternatives to the VP caged pedals. there more expensive but loads and loads stronger, better bearings and thicker platform with stronger cages...........
