SCOTTY___ Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Right i'm bored of my VP pedals. So now I wont something different. Here I might be getting some money coming in soon so I wont some new pedals, what are peoples views on these? Please don't say get DMR v8s! I've had them for a while and i dent like them, always wobble etc..To much hassle. So back to the Onzas, Do the pins last? How grippy are they? Bearings? Axle? Durability? Thanks in advance, Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 They are only good if your a full on UCI rider. If you start bashing them on rocks and stuff they wont last very long. But otherwise excelent pedals. Super light. (Y)" :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they hold up? As i dont ride Natural as much as i wont to :S Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 they are the same as koxx magnesium ones but ten times* cheaper :S ← * may not be true. More like half the price. Still, not a bad saving (Y) I wouldn't recommend them if you tend to bash your pedals into everything. However, if you ride your bike on its wheels, theyre awesome pedals. Light, grippy, very good bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 you know what i meant.. i just exaggerated a lil bit :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi, My mate has used these for about a month, and after one comp 3 pins had been ripped out, so yeh not that strong. however they are really light and grippy so if you don't use your pedals on rocks or walls then they should be ok, Not that expensive either :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 oh its gotta be said.. ehehe.. if god wanted you to bash your pedals and dig them into rocks he would of put rubber on them :S but yeah as i said.. mint pedals.. buy them !!!!!!!

Luke Drewery Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Thay are good pedals, big surface area, light and grippy. As for ripping pins out, I heard James porter took the pins out of one side and only used the side that still had the pins in, quite clever. That way the side without pins gets mashed up whilst the side with pins stays pristine :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 but you have to check which side your putting your feet on the pedals each time.. and i've you slip slightly and land on the other side your pretty screwed.. and its not gonna be pretty (N)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Let's be fair, they are the lightest (?) pedals about, and probably amongst the grippiest, and they aren't too expensive. A couple of downsides though: I don't exactly try and hit my pedals (I never intentionally bashguard anything), but it clearly happens a lot, by accident. I've lost loads of pins on my pedals (you don't have to hit them very hard) and it's annoying! The other thing is, they're too sharp. I took a huge chunk out of my leg the other day, and that was through trousers! I'm scared of riding in shorts now! For those two reasons, I'd probably just get V8s/VPs next time (N) Oh, and taking the pins on one side out is bloody annoying to ride with!

Caleb Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Why not try the azonic X copies that halfords do £35 and there sealed and look exactly the same, jay had the cheaper version of those ^ and doesnt rate them well at all (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakley Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 i have never rode any but they look like good pedals, give them ago (N) joE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 How about, get the hogs, take the pins out of one side, then weight them so that the pinless side will end up facing backwards if you take your foot off, and learn to put your feet on the pedals while moving them backwards. Some of the local beehemexers did it cos they hated killing pedals while grinding. (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the local beehemexers did it cos they hated killing pedals while grinding. :) ← Yeah, I was thinking about that. But adding weight to a trials bike is a silly idea. However, maybe it would be possible to manufacture some pedals which had an ecentric axle, so they fell to that position automatically. Would be ideal, really. No idea how feasible it is though. Any manufacturers listening, steal my idea and make it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Haha oops. I thought you meant the Shin-Dig's. For some RANDOM reason. Sorry Scotty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
