The *best* grippy wide platform pedals...?
« on: April 28, 2008, 18:43:16 PM »

I'm going to replace the crappy non name pedals on my HT with my Easton flat boys from the DH bike.

What shall I replace them with?
I really like the staritlines - they look pimp & are really grippy and wide, but are pricey and out of stock everywhere.
Any thing else that's as good?

*edit: balls, sorry mods please move to kit and equipment.

Why not maybe say get another set of flatboys - they are excellent pedals; fair enough though if you want somthing a bit different.

Stick with the Eastons.  Unless you can you still get cully's?  Those things are sick...

I've had Easton, Atomlab, Club Roost, VP, DMR, Wellgo, etc. pedal over many years

and easily without a doubt the best flat pedals i have used (for 2 years now) are Syncros's Mental Alloy pedals (not the cromo)

stupidly tough, insane grip, superb durability with their 4 bearing / 1 bush setup (mine are 2 years old, have been used all over UK and Canada and never even opened up), great feel with flat shoes, and are as light as DMR V-12s

expensive (around £100) but worth every penny....

just don't use the long pins because they will tear you to pieces, the short pins have more than enough grip even with a Vans shoes, let alone 5-10s

Tioga Surefoot pedals are where its at. Wide platform, grippy as you need, pretty light, good looking and sealed bearings all for £40. Ive had mine a couple of months and theyre still fine. A mate of mine has had some for over a year now and the bearings in those are still fine.

Deffinately worth a look, there on crc if your interested

I am running the surefoots at the moment, really nice pedal, pretty much agree with everything said. only problem I have had is that the pins tear out really easily destroying the thread so that you cant fit replacement pins, think its a combination of the pins being quite long so the leverage is high and the holes not going deep enough into the pedal body. Its probably only a problem for me because my local is tech as hell and has many awkward rocks that seek out pedals though I'm sure for 90% of the uk courses they will last alot longer.

get some LAW moto pedals

I have seen these for just £25 in the back of recent bike mags?

my buddy Hot Carl has these on his Demo7 and they are not actually very grippy, despite how fearsome they look...

f*cking heavy too

Jungle import Syncros if you wanna go for the Mental Alloys...just don't use the long pins as you will have hamburger for shins  Cheesy
