As above, £37 from CRC seems reasonable. Anything better out there before I purchase?

Welcome equivalent seeing as they make the DMRs?

Having had DMR's or copies for years, we now have two sets of Nukeproof Electrons. Noticeably more grip, cheap in sales, smooth beatings a year in. Don't let the plastic put you off - they're looking better than alloys due to being colour all through.

if they're the revised V12 they're excellent, the old ones are a bit thicker and smaller platform.

Superstar Nano's can be had for £40ish atm with the ILOVEUKMADE code on the site, ace pedals when you locktite the pins in.

V12's cheaper from Tredz than CRC with their £5 off code (ECWJ2R) - I've just replaced a pair of mine find them the best I've had over the years, I especially like the concave shape and thinness. No shortcomings and don't want to experiment with anything else as I have the same pedals on all 3 of my bikes.

Much prefer the feel of my  Nano X's to my v12s.

Bearings in the Nanos lasted well over a year, v12s are notchy after about 4 months.

Another vote for the Exotic flats from Carbon Cycles. Been running them since May and they’ve been faultless. Still look tidy too, they aren’t scuffed up at all. Guess they’re anodised rather than painted so no paint to lose which helps there.

I’ve only previously used the old v12’s and the exotic ones are much better than those. The new v12’s do look good though.

Thanks alot for the info folks! Gone with V12 for £31 from tredz, I think they are the new ones- and thanks steel4real for the code!

Trying flats again after a while on clips so they should do the job.

Not a big fan of the Welgo copies tbh, the bearing get rattley really quickly, there isn't as much grip and an axle snapped on me once which I didn't like lol
