[Closed] Reccomend me some flat pedals please 🙂

I'll get in first before someone else... welgo MG1s off of ebay. like V12s, mag body, light, and with 510s pretty mucha perfect combo. like being clipped in except if you puul your foot up. Amazing.

might have got some of those crazy thing canfield ones if I was a more flush!

Kev

Jesus, sorry for all the typos!

Wellgo MG 1.
V. Light.
V grippy.

Got 'em on both my bikes,

A

Superstar Nano Tech Flats - much better than the MG1s I have on the other bike imo. Thin profile, very grippy and not too heavy.

Sunline V1s for me, although perhaps a tad overkill for light XC duties: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=19267

[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11407 ]I quite like these[/url]: Slimline but wide, perfect for 5-10's

Gusset slim jims, cheap good grip and thin.

Shimano DX pedals: a bit heavy and expensive, but quite simply the best there is. (as i understand it)

Not that heavy and more than enough grip with 5-10's for anything except possibly serious downhill. Fit and forget, no maintenance like V8's etc

Another vote for Superstar Nano Tech Flats. That's what I'll be getting for my next bike.

+1 on the DX's - and they aren't heavy, have a look at their weight compared to, say Crank Bros 50:50's!
Also - have a look at Sanderson's magnesium flatties, good value, british - and the pins are a more sensible design than most.

I have a pair of Easton flatboy pedals for sale... They are lovely and grippy, but I just like spds and they are overkill for my bmx.., interested?

I used these for a while, and they were brilliant:

Half the price of DX and 10g lighter! Woohoo!

Having said that, Wellgo make a whole bunch of good pedals, just make a choice based on weight/bearings/looks etc.

Burgtech, not light but even with 'normal' skate shoes I'd proabbly be coutning the number of times I've had a foot come off in single figures, and thats on a hardtail!

Quite simply brilliant (and the new ones are even lighter).

Anyone want some MK2 burtechs half price? Bearings/bushings still almost perfect.

DMR V12s are good. Used them for years but I have just started using Point1 Podiums which are very nice indeed.

Ordinary track pattern pedals, and ride with shoes that have a knobbly sole. Gives great grip, better than falt pedals IMO.

Works for me and don't get problems when it's muddy.

+1 for superstar nano's. Mine have been on over a year and used everyday and still smooth.

superstar nano's i bought them because i wanted blue pedals and didn't have straitline money, can honestly say the best pedal i've used.

well they are only 2 rides old, but thus far

+1 for superstar nano's, very nice tacky feel without being too grippy (i.e. it gets difficult to reposition your foot easily). MG1s are great but an overkill for XC.

Plus nanos come in lots of funky colours.

+1 on ss nano.

Straitlines or Funn Soljams.

Much much better than DX's, IMO.

+1 Wellgo MG1, had em or a while great pedal but the finish is poor so as long as you don't mind them looking scruffy they're sound.
V8's again great and loads of colour options for matching to the bike.

But all time favourite 24 Butterfly pedals, i've never known anything like em! try and get a second hand pair they're just amazing!

v8's if your on a budget
dx's for a bit more cash, and less maintenance.
straitlines for a lot more cash and to look cool riding round the car park.

I use dx's on my commuter, and straitlines on my DH bike

+1 Wellgo MG1's
My favourite pedals ever is 24 Bicycles Toaster pedals, can't get 'em anymore tho 🙁

On a budget - Wellgo MG1
No expense spared - Burgtec Penthouse Flats

Straitlines..

Awesome bits of Kit.

Superstar nanotechs. Had mine for quite a while now and there still dead smooth, no play in them and they aint been serviced. Plus they were dead cheap.

MG 1's, i love my new graphite grey ones.

she might appreciate some shin pad protection until she is used to them. the scars 'aint pretty and hurt a tad.

some footy shin pads will do the job if you do not want full on protection

MG1's. Cheap-ish and v light

MG1's on one bike and DX's on t'other.

The DX's feel solid. Never really given them a second thought. Just put them on and put the big pins in.

MG1's because the do the job, perfectly. Grippy as, and uber cheap from eBay.
