Hi got a set of saint pedals less than 6 months old now right one has play. Tried to adjust it and re grease it no joy. They would be going back bit can't find my receipt. So what are people using and recommend ?
Still a fan of the Superstar Nanos- not super light but a good size and shape, pretty long lived, easy to service and well priced. Interested to try their Delta though.
Gusset Slim Jim magnesium, serviceable ones. I honestly dont have anything more modern to compare them with, because mine are now 6 years old and done between 25 and 40 miles a week. Teva shoes just don't slip on them at all.
I am only now at the point where I will need to buy the kit to sort them, up to now, strip em down and grease them twice a year and they have just hung in thee and got on with it. I ride all winter in horrid. muddy gloop too.
I know I ve mentioned these before, but t hey are just one of those products you find now and then which just bloody work.
what northwind says
New V12 looks good though
might order the ti axle deltas though slightly slimmer might assist clumsy occasional pedal strikers like me!
I also like slim Jim's but will be getting new v12s when other are out as I like the look of em. My Jim's are ancient and battered and still work perfectly. Longer pins though
DMR Vaults for me, have a set on both bikes and love them!
Specialized bennies here. I have a set on two bikes. Cost £60 and they're great. Fairly big platform good grip etc etc. look better than they do in pics.
I had some slim jims a few years back bought to replace some long serving v8s (which were really good). They developed some play after about 12 months and when I tried take them apart and the alloy cap just rounded out like it was made of cheese. I had some mx30s for years after that so tried the new saints as I wanted something thinner. Had them for about 6 months ago and they seem to wearing heavily? Metal seems a lot softer than the mx30s, after years of use of mx30s I'm pretty disappointed. Bought some vaults after that as everyone goes on about them and whilst is has only been a couple of months I am super impressed. Much nicer feel than previous pedals due to to shape and large platform. Time will tell on how they last but so far they have been worth the money.

i use plastic nukeproof pedals. last as well as any other pedal i have used and cost half
I've got Nanos and Hope f20s. Think the Hopes are a tiny bit grippier but there's nothing bad about the Nanos, I'm just a bit of a tart and got a good price on the Hopes.
Was also interested in the new v12s but couldn't get hold of any to have a look at first.
V8s and Superstar Mags for me. Both fine. Both fixable if needed.
I've been running a set of Sanderson pro mags for about 6 yrs now. Well battered from dartmoor granite but never missed a beat, never serviced and bearings still as good as new.
Some good info there boys. Thanks. I've looked at the hope but am undecided but like there parts and there service.
Before spds I always used Nukeproof. Just the same as superstar...but cheaper?
Hopes for me. All I ask for in a pedal. Apart from the price
I can but echo what Jedi said.
I've got Kona Wah Wahs on one bike and the plastic Nukeproof Electrons? on another. Both sets have lasted well and the plastic ones have been surprisingly robust.
The plastic nanos/electrons are basically the same inside as a normal nano so they last well. Couldn't get on with the grip myself but better riders than me like 'em so maybe it's just me being defective- I found them really picky about shoes. Riding in my steelies is deadly 😆 Not true of regular nanos
I ride in Freeriders, they seem to grip any old pedal well 🙂 I've got some Teva Pinner shoes too(same sole as Links) they're nowhere near as grippy. Dead comfy though.
