[Closed] New flat pedals - Vaults or ???

Leave the bearings unserviced for 8 years and you get plenty 🙂

IME with Vaults that should be 8 weeks 😀

Vaults are great pedals but the internals are terrible. My last pair lasted 2 months before they developed the rattle. When I asked them if that was acceptable, I just got fobbed off and sent a link to the £30 service kit.

Anyone around here has experience with the Daggas? I'm seduced by the Burgtec MK5, but tales of mediocre grip and narrow Q factor make me uneasy

I've narrowed down my next purchase to Nukeproofs latest horizons or Unite instinct.
Burgtec are still too close to the crank arm, maybe MK6 version is when they get it right.

Is there much difference between Nukeproof Downhill and Enduro?

The new Enduro is the Downhill with the cutouts that Sam Hill's mechanic used to do for him. iirc just gives a bit more clearance really

They're discontinued but there's still some in shops- if you can find them then the Nukeproof Horizon Comp, the plastic one, is absolutely ace. Light, tough enough, durable enough, cheap. I've had posh pedals in the past, in fact I still do, but these are the ones that get used.

The only problem with the Comps is that the most vulnerable pins are also the plastic ones. Mine got shaved off in no time

As above, enduro is the latest and improved version of the horizons, my only reservation is the height, but maybe that helps make them last, everyone seems to rate them highly.
I personally wouldn't buy plastic pedals, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Yeah, tbh I was surprised to discover that it didn't bother me at all once they were gone but I know some people really use the outside pins a lot.

That outside row is pretty much where I live 🙂 but even then tbf they are still very good. Odd that they discontinued them

Nothing appealing about lighter weight , paint that doesn't chip off after the first pedal strike because they are the same colour all the way through , Far less clattery when you do get pedal strikes and cheaper by miles .
