Title: need some grippy pedals
Post by: rodslovechild on June 16, 2008, 06:19 PM: right basically stopped wearing my vans as it hurt my heels too much every time i bailed and got some skate shoes with padded soles, trouble is now every time i jump out of something it is like trying to land on ice!

need some super grippy pedals, zak shaw had some wellgo mg-1s which when i had a go my feet stuck like shit to a blanket so was thinking these, anybody got any other suggestions?

Post by: JT71 on June 16, 2008, 06:36 PM: modern shimano DX, lovely. come with longer studs and a little allen key to change them if you need grippier.

you could even run longer studs one side and small studds the other so you've got two option.
(i mean on either side of seach pedal, not on either side of the bike)

Post by: rodslovechild on June 16, 2008, 06:39 PM: cool, i aint bothered about the cost too much cos id rather pay out for a set i get along with rather than end up getting a cheap set then having to get another set 2 weeks down the line

i come off a lot too so nothing that cant take it :LolLolLolLol:

anybody running the dmr v12s?
Title: Re: need some grippy pedals
Post by: bof on June 16, 2008, 06:46 PM: v12 are the same platform shape as v8's just different bearings and magnesium bodies , but you cant beat the wellgos mg1's for grip and they are light as well :)
Title: Re: need some grippy pedals
Post by: rodslovechild on June 16, 2008, 06:48 PM: are the dmr v12s not slightly larger than the v8s as they do v12s normal and magnesium......

suppose its between the mg-1s and v12 magnesiums

ill do my research :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: HEYWOOD BMX on June 16, 2008, 07:09 PM: :) Personally found that the long pins on the new DXs to still be short,& V8s to be flimsy.Burgtec Penthouse flats are pretty good tho`......

Post by: josh_spratty on June 16, 2008, 08:18 PM: :D i think shooting yourself would be less painful :shocked:
Title: Re: need some grippy pedals
Post by: Stodgy on June 16, 2008, 08:27 PM: Yep, those Oddy Trailmix are lovely, I use them on my OM - the best feel of any pedal IMO.

Outright grip though has to be the V12's.
Title: Re: need some grippy pedals
Post by: pickle on June 16, 2008, 08:29 PM: yep have to agree with the DMRs, i've used em on my MTB for years now! :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: need some grippy pedals
Post by: kev-s on June 16, 2008, 09:24 PM: i use dmr v12 magnuism pedals with ti axles only downside was the price @ Â£90

Title: Re: need some grippy pedals
Post by: perry on June 27, 2008, 10:39 AM: i use old dmr ( before they made their own mould ) with terror pins and remove the inner pins

the beaings in the new dmr are crap and the v12 are the same pedal with a sealed bearing in one end and a bushing in the other

ill use any cheap dx copy with open bearings and replacable pins :)
Title: Re: need some grippy pedals
Post by: TwoBobRob on June 27, 2008, 11:19 AM: I always have, and continue to run Shimano DXs. They just seem to feel right to me and I'm not fussed about weight or sealed bearings, so I've not felt the need to try owt else.

That said, I have some new school DXs which I'm gonna try soon, simply because I like how they look. (thanks again Jimwise :daumenhoch:)
