[Closed] what are the best flat pedals ??

I'm interested in this too. I've heard the the ss pedals are a bit narrow?
Edit; try here; http://www.readytoridecycles.co.uk/pedals-82-c.asp

Narrow? Low profile yes but not narrow, they are great pedals for the money, i have 2 sets, as they are out of stock of the ones you want then have a look around as there are several companies doing these pedals badged as there own. One company are even cheaper than superstar but i can't remember what they are called so hopefully someone on here can help you with that one.

looking for grip and pimpness

Thread closed.

Backhander - those are the ones, £34.99 is a bargain.
Captainflashheart - good recommendation, awesome pedals, just don't mention the price 😯

Loving my 2 sets of Wellgo Mag 1's here and so are some ofmy mates too now...

About £35 if you shop.

i have the ss ones and for the price you just cant complain

and same as kona wah wahs (and other who share the design-like the linked ones) but half the price

He asked for grip and pimpness, price wasn't mentioned!

I really want straitlines but lower profile.
I like the nanos but would like a few more pins, I'm just not finding V8/V12s very grippy. Any advice? (apart from five10s!)

Always say the same, but these for £25 are a flippin' bargain. And last for yonks.

The BEST pedals are the canfield crampons, thinnest pedals in the world and very light and still DH tough 😉

And 'pimp' (such a ****y saying) pedals makes no sense to me. They take a battering in their life, so they ain't gonna look good for long.

straightline are the best

I've had those Wellgos^^^ very good, but not exactly pimp, currently using DMR V12 magnesium, the DMR is a classic design and work really well.

There are some new blackspire ones, sub4s they're called in the new product section in Dirt this month that look quite pimp and light.

cheap and grippy.

But why do you want 'pimp' pedals when your standing on them and smacking them off rocks? Seems a bit silly to me.

I am using these pedals and had it over a year now, they are brilliant, strong and grippy aswell slick looking.

They certainly aren't pimpy but I can strongly recommend Tioga Surefoot Pro Mx pedals: They just take everything and a seriously grippy.

I actually agree about not spending loads on pimpy pedals: They are there to be abused.

Seriously the Crampons are brill and im not just saying that cos i import them!

The fact that you are pedalling near enough on the axle means not only is your effective BB lowered (by 1/4" in most cases), you feel less of the dead spot at the top and bottom of the pedal stroke of a normal flat pedal. No other pedal is as thin without costing twice as much. The pedals are designed and used by the Canfield brothers for DH racing, so can take some abuse.

They are expensive (£115) but they are tough despite the appearance and i challenge you not to be impressed once you have used them (sounds like one of those "or your money back" adverts!)

si.

They sound great.

I bet they make an annoying squeek when you use them with five ten's though...

Just had a look at those si and to be honest they don't look particularly light, considering their size: They are only 65g lighter than my Tiogas and more than twice the price.

BIG vote for superstar nano's, far,far better than the v8's i had before. And at 35 quid (they was on offer when i got them) a bargain.

For sure they are not the lightest, but i bet they are the best pedaling, toughest light pedal there is FACT, maybe 😉

azonic aframes are the best. i havent tried canfield crampons.
tried the rest though pretty much

For sure they are not the lightest, but i bet they are the best pedaling, toughest light pedal there is FACT, maybe

but what about the squeeek though. 😆

I find my Azonic Aframes really good. Not a pretty pedal though mind 😉

I used to love the Azonic A frames, my previous all time best pedal.

the only pedal i havent broken

but what about the squeeek though.

Some people find they squeak with 5 tens, others don't. Small price to pay for awesomeness 😉

I prefer squeeek free awsomeness myself. 8)

Matt doesn't squeak

Didn't squeak when the 5 10s were new. Now left foot/pedal squeaks like a frenzied mouse. Good grip though

what Si says is true, crampons are the mutts nutts, if you're a bit tighter in the pocket then check out the outland pedals, I wrote a review of them not too long ago ([url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/user-review-outland-slim-flat-pedals-1 ]HERE[/url], an update on them would be that they are a little narrow (not too bad though) and that they are as capable as wellgo mg2's at shreadding your calves 😀

So you stock the Crampons ?

Getting a little bit fed up with 5050's falling apart !!

What you want (if you can find a pair!) are old skool 24Seven Slackers - got a pair on each of my bikes and they've converted me from clipping in. Tried a pair back in 2000'ish when they came out and was scared by the grip but came back to them a couple of years ago and they're flippin awesome.

Plus they have an integrated bottle opener. What more do you want?

Grip and Pimpness... you Sir require some Point 1 Racing Podiums.

If you want a set of Burgtec Penthouse 2's in snow camo I have a spare set for sale, including replacement bearings and bushings.

for the price of the magnesium HT pedals posted earlier (55 quid, look like superstar) you could get Wellgo MG1s with pimpy titanium axles.
300grams light enough?

'el gallo' thingybobs look like they are made in the same factory as the superstar ones but can be found for about £14 if you look...
