The Neutrons are plastic/composite aren’t they?
How’s peoples experience with non-metallic pedals?
Plastic’s a great material for pedals tbh, but IMO the neutron’s not a great one (or any of the other variants on that theme). Not because of the plastic, just because of the profile, the centre part stands too tall and reduces the grip by loads. They improved it for the Evo model but it’s still there. (I know this doesn’t bother everyone, but, buying blind it’s smart to assume he’s one of the ones that it will… Same as some people like the Oneup composite pedal, others really don’t)
The PA03A is a much better design imo and good value Sadly you can’t get the brilliant Nukeproof Horizon any more, presumably because the plastic one was the cheapest in the range and was better than all of the more expensive models.
Quite like the DMR V6 and it’s super cheap, but, the plastic “pins” break off a bit too easily and then they lose all their grip. You can drill them and add grub screws instead but that weakens the pedal. Still, £14, it’d get him going and probably last a good while. Haven’t actually tried the V11 but it looks good and £30
