Easton Flatboys – so good I bought them twice
had them on one bike for 5 years and had no problems at all – despite breaking two sets of cranks
V12's would normally last me 3 months, but I've still got the same pair of Flatboys on the bikes for 2 years now…..best pedals you can get IMHO.
Continuing on the theme here… I've owned a set of Flatboys for about 6 years now, and though 80% of my riding is clipped in, in the time I have owned them they have done a total of 7 weeks DH riding in the Alps, numerous Welsh Trail centres, and tonnes of other rides.
They have been bashed, smashed, generally abused and uncared for. They still barely look more than half a dozen rides old! I have hit rocks hard enough that I have bent crank arms (seriously!) whilst using these pedals and they just shrug it off. Not even a pin has bent despite being repeatedly smashed into massive rocks!
Yup, they're not light, but they're bombproof. They're also very grippy. And though not exactly cheap, they're certainly a lot cheaper than many boutique offerings, and they'll outlast anything else which in my book makes them good value…
easton flatboys are good but I prefer the easton cullys
Cullys are great if you've got narrower or smaller feet, because they're narrower they afford you a bit more pedal clearance when leaning over too… But they're not ideal for big footed riders cos they are quite narrow. Also, takes the piss they charge £25 more for essentially the same pedal!
