    I bought some from crc a few weeks ago, the rh pedal axle had loads of play in it out of the box. Crc swapped them but the replacements were sent to my work and I’ve been on holiday for a fortnight so I’ve not checked them yet.
    Great looking pedals but if I was buying again I’d just get Nanos.

    Same experience with one pedal being way looser than the other.
    I got a set cheap, and won’t buy another. Not terrible, just not as good as other stuff.
    I don’t rate the platform/pin as being as comfy or grippy as either the Nano/Nukeproof equivalent or my beloved Hopes.

    Adding the additional pins and removing all the little pin spacers helped, but not by enough to compete.

    Superstar Nano is basically identical to the Nukeproof Neutron (iirc both share a lot with the old Kona WahWahs?)

    I’ve got some Neutrons, they’re surprisingly tough considering they’re plastic. Reasonably grippy with Five Ten Freeriders not so good with my Tevas.
    Also got some Wah Wahs that have lasted well and grip well with my five tens and Tevas.

    Suck it up and buy some silver DMR Vaults.

    I’ve tried most of the above. The Superstars are OK. The Neutrons are rubbish. Accept now substitute.

    I’m currently running saints with the long pins and they have been bullet proof for the past 6 months. Super tough, taken some big hits and just keep going. Bearings are perfect still, they look good and are super grippy with my five tens. For ref my last bike was running dmr vaults which were a nice platform but I kept losing pins. Before than I had nukeproof nanos which were equally as good as the vaults but I’d take saints every time.
