Just sold some bits, have exactly enough money in the "stuff I don't need" fund for set of these, but have heard very little about them so far. Anyone using them yet? Good/bad?

You have to change the bearings once every week.

Hmm. That's almost enough to tip me over the edge, jedi....

I have had a set on my enduro for a couple of months now and Im still on the same bearings 🙂

However, the pins arent as grippy as DMR vaults and I found myself slipping a bit. (wearing 5:10's)

Im going to change the pins to grub screws and see if its any better.

Interesting. I love the Vaults, looking at the Brendogs as a possible alternative

What's the difference between the Vaults and the "Brendog" version other than colour and price (and use of the phrase "stealth colourway" on the DMR website of course)

Bigger, angrier pins on the Brendogs, and the black (which won't last, but hey)

And they include a wee pin wrench, I think.

Seeme the Brendogs come with a second set of "Moto" pins as well as the standard "flip" pins.

So far I'm very happy with mine. Can't comment on longevity yet, but they seem well built. I took a little bit of time to work out the best pin pattern and having done that they match my old Easton Cully & Bergtec Penthouse flats for grip.

Pin pattern? Are there options for how you set them up?

I've got a set in black, after approx 6 rides the anodising has well worn and grip is no where near as good as the straitlines they replaced, hope stuff is usually top notch but I won't be getting anymore of these

Hmm. Pendulum swinging towards the Brendogs. Even if I will have to remove all the standard pins, and transfer them to my other pair of vaults, and then fit the Moto pins... this could take HOURS

+1 for vaults!

very grippy pedals and if you get them in silver the paint won't wear off 😀

£120? What a rip off.

honourablegeorge - they supply lots of pins and there are many holes to screw them into; you don't need to use them all! I probably have about 2/3rds of the pins installed - works for me...
