[Closed] what are the best flat pedals?

I really like the idea of the [url= http://www.nukeproof.com/pedals/electron-pedals ]Nuke Proof Electron pedals[/url]. Plastic (with steel pins) and only £34.99.

Prog Bikes website is being switched over so is out of action at the moment. Price for Canfields is now £95, was £115. Black or white available.

you got stock? 🙂
info@ and your emails bounce

I'd read this first, before you go for the Crampons:

Point One Podiums are the best I've ever used.

Has anyone tried those nuke proof electrons? I quite like the look of them (and they come in yellow :D)

i like
Easton Cullys....have a brand new set in the shed saved.
Wellgo b whatever brilliant cheap and solid.

Another vote for Dark Cycles Arachnids, but with the Ti axles from my old MG1s, NS Aerials are pretty sweet too. I founs MG1s a little too small for my size 11 flippers.

Always has been DMR V12's for me, Mags for some weight saving, fully servicable, always grippy, well sealed, you can't go wrong with them.

Except that they're smaller, heavier, less grippy and more expensive than the Wellgo MG1 (which comes out of the same factory to boot). I had some V12s and they were perfectly good, if you ignore all those things but why would you?

The various Nanos are decent too but if you're a maximum-grip sort of person they have way less grip than some, I think maybe because of the axle. Also, the pins don't thread in far so if you switch to terror pins, there's a hell of a lot of leverage on them and they rip out very easily. Just doesn't work at all with the magnesium bodied ones.

So MG1s or Nanos, there might be better out there but at how much more? MG1s cheaper, and more outright grip, Nanos I think tougher and thinner so use the grip they have better.

i like v12's. Got small feet mind.tried bigger platformed concaved welgos and didn't like them at all.i think it's really personal really.

I've had the same set of MG1's for almost 2 years now with no probs. They are light, grippy, cheap and seem to last pretty well.

Maybe not the "best" but for me the best value for money are the cheapest Wellgos. Had mine for a few years I think, they were on a bmx beforehand as well. They have a bit of play but I don't notice it when riding.

Jedi, the Progressive Bikes domain is being moved so email is down at the mo.

The SDH review was odd, no pedal could have survived what they did with the pedals i sent them for test, they were knackered and abused.

Ask Matt from STW what he thinks to the Crampons, he has had a set of ours for a long while now 🙂

Surely that is what all pedals get subjected too. Plus, it doesn't explain why they reckon the grip is poor.

I can honestly say that any pedal would have died the way that they used and treated the Canfields, I don't know of any pedals that would have been in good condition after that amount of abuse.

For info the pedals are now available in black or white

New website is nearly finished, but atm you can't buy directly on the website as I'm waiting for some techy stuff to be finished.

Not light and rare as these days but I run 24Seven Slacks on both my bikes (and am on the lookout for another pair for my new jump bike). Mad grip, last AGES without servicing (the ones on my main bike have been running smooth as for 2+ years now and I bought them second hand!). Take some serious abuse judging by the state of them but just keep working. Only way they could be better would be to lose some weight and have a lower profile...

Just fitted a set of Twenty6 Prerunner Cromo pedals to my bike in rather lovely Urban Camo anodised finish.

They grip as well as they look. I have heard of people breaking some of the pin mounts on them on rocks but it's not too rocky here and I can throw the Welgo's on for those rides.

5 month old crampons, rubbish IMO

I have with mine, I ride in the Peak, two of the mounts in particular have smashed off. And the pins are very week. I've replaced them with grub screws. That said, Twenty6 have re-designed them now, not sure if there as light.

I'm suprised how many people complain that bearings wear out... they do.. and you replace them.. its easy really. Whats tuff is getting a lot of wear out of thin pedals as the bearings are so small. Hence Canfield using two side by side.

I've had a set of Crampons since they came out. Whats that about 15months or so, ridden in the Peak and etc weekly, I need to replace the bearings in one side but they have lasted well.

Mind you, if you want zero maintenance go with the Twenty6 Prerunners with Ti axles- that don't use bearings but bushings (not soft metal ones that wear !)

24 Bicycles Butterfly pedals or Wellgo MG1's on a budget.

No pedals would ever last me 15months, pedals are a disposable part to me. if I get a season of DH out of a set of £30ish HT/nano's without having to change bent axles too often I'm happy, then once too many pins have ripped out (taking the threads with them) they can go on the hardtail or BMX wher I'm not so fussed about grip.

P.s. superstar nanos have 10% off for the next fortnight

I have these fitted to my Commencal and I can't fault them - light, sealed bearings, reasonable money and no-one else has them... [url= http://www.noahsark.co.uk/fat-spanner-pukka-flat-pedal-p-3281.html ]Fatties Flatties[/url]

Nope, never seen them before ever.. not the exact same pedals but cheaper or anything 🙄
