Tuesday – DMR Bundle – Versa Pedal Silver, V11 Pedal Black £55, Pedal Spanner £30, Deathgrip Thin Camo £21
- Price: Versa £135, V11 £55, Pedal spanner £30, Deathgrip £21
- From: Upgrade Bikes
These pedals come in five colours, but you’ll be getting this goes-with-everything silver pair. And they really do go with everything – clipped or flat shoes too! One side lets you ‘grind up’ clipped in, while the other lets you ‘bomb down’ on flats if you choose – this message is even engraved on the pedals. Handy for those ‘will I make it’ trails where you want the confidence of an easy dab, perhaps. You’ll also get the new V11 pedals, which use the same shape as the ever popular CNC’d DMR V12, but are made from a glass re-inforced nylon body – letting you ‘turn it up to 11’, hence the name. The classic DMR Deathgrips will keep your hands in control of the bike – they seem to work well for Brendan Fairclough! And a very satisfyingly quality feeling piece of kit, the DMR pedal spanner, will help you fit your new pedals to your bike. If you have to remove your pedals regularly – to get the bike in the car, perhaps – this will make the task a pleasure.
