Slightly different shape to the Mallet Race and slightly narrower?

Got the race's and they are exactly the same shape as the originals which is great as my feel have been slightly too big for the newer ones. Great pedal with the split cage to do bearings easily.

The slightly wider spacing feels a little better and more comfortable too, not often I'm nipping through something tight enough to matter(and if I was thats a lot of precision)

I have some, you can have for postage, as long as you order shed load of new bearing kits - you need them once a fortnight in our experience...

One of the few crap bike products I have used in the last few years...

Which model do you have matt? Getting great bearing life out of all the new CB pedals here, are the axles in good nick?

My Rh DH fell apart mid night ride yesterday not much fun pedaling back 7 miles on the axle !

Bearing kit ordered but have made swiss cheese out of the topcap trying a trail fix !

Original Mallet - and it has gaps straight into the axle area, plus the bushing seems to be cheese. ๐Ÿ˜•

The E's are supposedly a completely different bearing design from previous models. (Not never much) time will tell

I've got some as well - much better sealed than my previous DHs.. Apparently they've upgraded the design across the board, using Enduro and Igus bearings..

Had them on since mind December and I'm very happy with them (also from Bike-Discount)

Cheers all, feedback appreciated. May well wait for them to land on UK shores before buying - how come our German chums get them so way in advance of blighty?

Been thinking about getting DHs recently, wont be bothering until they've also been upgraded then!
