Im looking to get some lighter pedals than the XTR m975 spds I currently have.
I had a set of tripple ti eggbeaters previously which were fantastically light but lacked a decent enough platform and on longer rides were a little uncomfortable underfoot.
Have seen these quartz and they seem to be light enough and offer a slightly bigger platform for support.
I love the performance of the XTR but they are on the heavy side and I do need all the help I can get!
would appreciate views among the masses...... 😀
They feel very similar to Crank Bros Candy pedals, with a little less platform though.
They're fine to be honest; but you're not going to save that much weight from your bike with the pedals - I'd go with something comfortable, durable, but light'ish - so, expensive....
I'd prefer to go with the Time Atac XS pedals.... more durable.
Worst product I've ever tried personally. I struggled for weeks with different shim combos, but always found that you could either have them nice to get into and they were super loose, or nice feel, but a bugger to get into. Then your tread wears slightly and they need changing.
Then the body cracked on my carbon-ti ones after 2 rides.
Egg Beaters all the way for me.
I've got them on all my bikes and my road bike.
Very tricky to set up but once done they are excellent. Easy to take apart and service too.
They are more 'vague' than spds but I like them.
I've had them on my last two bikes,no probs with setting them up look list shim stack heights for most of shoe makes the bearings seem to last for ever not had to touch mine in two years but for future ref rob how did you strip yours
Mr cycle - they are easy to take apart and sevice. You need a special look pedal bolt extractor thing - cost about £3 from rose bikes. Just pops onto the nut on the axle, turn it and hey presto.
Service pedals? I've never touched my Times in about ten years. They just keep going. Bombproof, brilliant pedals.
