I like the narrow width of my V8s (because I use pedal extenders for my funny feet and need a narrow pedal to compensate).
But over the years, after dabbling in replacing pins and even bearings in V12s I have come to see pedals as disposable (even the V12s inner bearing race wears out). That doesn’t mean I don’t want them to last. I do. But when something goes wrong I’m likely to get a new pair rather than fiddle with them.
With that mindset, and needing some new pedals, am I better off getting V8s again or is there something cheaper and more disposable, but just as narrow and grippy, without being too fragile?
