Anybody know if 02/11/10 is a real delivery date on CRC?
Are they available anywhere else yet?
Any dicounts on the M970's anywhere that's a better buy?
On looking recently, it would appear that the outgoing 970 seems to cost more then the incomming 980/985.
Slight hijack, but what are peoples thoughts on the 985?
should be getting mine this week from our supplier, i work in the usa in a bike shop and the new carbon havon bars next week

RRP on M970 pedals = £99.99
RRP on M980 / M985 pedals = £119.99
CRC price for the 980 £80. Merlin cycles, M970 £78. My mistake, £2 cheaper for the old ones.
No one pays RRP.
are there any differences to the new race ones compared to the m970 ones??
Didzy,
bigger pedal / shoe contact area
cheers rich-
is that race version though that are bigger too? ive seen those trail/flat pedal type ones, but just onabout the bog standard clip ones?
any weight differences?
I know no-one pays RRP but as CRC are currently showing RRP as £99.99 on the new version I wonder how long they will be showing their price as £80?
Didzy - yes. According to the 2011 Shimano tech manual I have in my hand there is 4X more pedal to shoe contact than the M970. There is a wider bearing placement, a lower profile, a slimmer & lighter axle unit and an oval axle body housing to improve mud shedding.
Weight is down by around 14g per pair.
nice - may well treat myself to some! tempting with 10% off CRC too, bring it down to cheaper than current ones!
anyone fancy a pair of 8month old xtr pedals? 😆
14g a pair! Wow. I'm going to buy 10 sets and save 140g on my bike! 😉
Wow! you have 10 pairs of feet! Wow. 😉
and ten chainsets....
985's due any day for me 8)
I've just fitted and fettled the new brakes as well, that lever is very small and is now inboard of the shifters!
any pics possible snakebite? thought the brakes looked the danglys, wouldnt mind a few 'flesh' pics 🙂
snakebite, I'm at the point of picking some new pedals. Why did you go with the 985 over the 980?

Presumably because they're 5 better 😉
Trail as opposed to race. I no longer race so I dont need race pedals....and the trail pedals are bigger so better value....

like them, really sleek and simple but quite sexual too! how much are they a pair? are they the race ones sir?
Anybody know when they are due though?
CRC says 02/11/10
Wiggle Mid December
?????????
Mine are the Trail brakes, and I am very impressed with them. Shimano really have eeked some power from somewhere. I probably sold a pair or two last night based on people trying them despite the price!!
snakebite - how much if you dont mind me asking? got rotors/mounts etc, just for the brakes them self?? very tempted!
also where has them in stock?
cheers
I'm quite curious on how the M985 would feel compared to the M647's I have now...
Didzy, drop me a mail, i'll sort you out an XTR deal if you wish 8)
Your LBS quoted 120 as that is the current RRP. CRC have the old RRP and are discounting from that.
The brakes are very nice bits of kit and my XT M775 levers with XTR M975 caliper set will be on the classifieds very soon to be replaced with a set of trail.
Well I ordered a set of the M985's. Where supposed to come in stock at crc yesterday but did not. They'll also take about a week to get here once shipped so will be a while.
I spoke with CRC yesterday as with the 10% voucher the M980 race pedals are really good value.
CRC had 200 sets coming in but 290 back orders. The next delivery is mid-December.
Ouch, I ordered yesterday so I guess I might not make it into the first batch. Maybe I'll call them and nag. 😀
ordered some m985's 🙂
bargaintastic !
My order did not make it to the first batch 🙁
Definitely looking like the ultimate trail centre pedal to me.
Lap times will go down from "*ing slow" to "slow as *"
Control on technical chutes will go from "**** me I'm not trying that" to "I'll think about it next time"
Car park/cafe satisfaction will go from "new xtr is due out soon" to "got new xttr pedals"
Al you legend!!'

ermmmm - CRC prices for these have gone upto 94.99, and the rrp to 119.99!!
i got mine for 71.99 with the loyalty thing, but checked my bank today and i have a credit from the for £8?!?!?!?! which is the 10% discount?
my order still says processing but not in stock?!?!?!
confused???
anyone else who ordered them have a credit for £8?
anyone else who ordered them have a credit for £8?
yep same here, I'm guessing we missed the first batch!
I ordered at 79.99 before the 10%, I hope I don't get charged the new price!
thebone - Memberanyone else who ordered them have a credit for £8?

hmmmm does that mean we wont be getting any then? as it says i cannot cancel the order now anyways? not that i want to, i dont mind waiting at all, at 71.99 they are a steal....but why an £8 credit, if i havent been charged for them yet anyways?
🙁
basically do you think our orders are still going through? or have we been credited 8quid due to the fact are orders have had to be scrapped? if so gutted 🙁 even in december they would make a nice present to myself 😆
My order says it's processing, and isn't showing any stock. I ordered them when the twitter 10% was on about a month ago, so I'm hoping they'll be in the first batch.
do the order status always say processing when not in stock though??
Just got mine 🙂
from crc toons?
🙁 it says now due in stock late january 🙁 still if im getting them at 71.99 then its worth the wait 🙂
My trails are on my bike and after 3 days I managed to change the cleats in my winter shoesiz. They seems like pedals, kind of a light expensive version of Time-Z's.
