I’ve been riding time since the original bomb proof version. Katie’s had the same set on her commuter for nearly 15 years now. they won’t come off the cranks but have never needed to. I don’t think any of the newer pedals last as well as the bearings did in the originals..
Personally I’ve found the small time pedals to not give enough support to the shoe so I’ve been riding Roc Atacs since they came out. The flat parts on the XC pedals look a bit small to me but might be OK.
I’ve just bought some of the MX’s but haven’t ridden them yet.
Do people actually buy the Carbon versions? i got sent some by mistake once but they’re a lot more money for no saving in weight and I’ve never had a problem with the body wearing or being damaged on the standard composite versions. Am I missing other benefit?
