Looking to purchase some new flats have previously had Superstar Nano Tech flats and found them really good especially for the price. Are there any others which are as good for grip and comfort any suggestions would be welcome
Got the superstars and yes they're great compared to previous flats I've tried. Avoid the white though as the paint suffers if you bash them.

i cant comment on grip compared to other brands, but i have a pair of dmr v8 pedals, which i greased and correctly adjusted when new, and they still run like new 2 years later.
and i am a big bloke, previously 23 stone.
my wife now also uses v8s, and the first thing she said was 'wow they are really grippy', which surprised me, she normally says 'fine' as a stock answer to any kit related question.
thats my 2p anyway bro.
I'm sticking with my Superstar ones because they're so cheap. Mine are looking pretty beat up but thy still have all of the pins in them. I figure for forty quid, I can change them every few years.
Thanks for the replies any other decent options that you would recommend
I much prefer the Shimano Saint flats to the Superstar. Merlin/ CRC etc do them for £45-ish
For the money you can't do better than these - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=16097
i got some plastic nukeproof neutrons
Superstar Nano here. Have both the grub screw and the bolt through pin options. Prefer the grub screw version as pins slightly longer. Had DMR V8s before but much prefer the Nanos as bigger platform and more grippy. Teh awesome.
Are the plaggy Nukeproofs any good? Or too early to tell.
Just bought some wellgo MG1's for £26 off an ebay shop, nof fassionably thin but they're for the missus bike so a matching red colour was more important!
These are exactly the same as superstar nanos but cheaper, got 2 sets faultless.......

What big bloke says. I have a pair of the carbon cycles and the superstars and they are identical in every way apart from the logos.
Thanks all will have a look at the different options
