Probably be asked a hundred times before... V8 or V12...?

Wooohooo!

Hi guys!
"Need" some new flat pedals for my bike (after white ones) and my LBS said that for the money either DMR V8's or V12's would be the best. I stressed that they were for DH and FR and they said they would be fine for this as well...

So really, wondering whether anyone has had experience of either/both and what one (V8 or V12) you would suggest. Considering neither of them are particularly expensive, it doesn't matter about the £20 difference. Even if the £20 makes the tiniest of difference, I would rather have that "tiny" amount for £20

Thanks and help would be much appreciated!

Can be got cheaper on ebay. Uses the same bearings as the DMR V12 (after all, Wellgo make DMR pedals!) yet is a lot lighter and cheaper.

Wooohooo!

Thanks "clarkson", just wondering, if you had to choose one of them (either the V8's or V12's) to put on both bikes what one would it be, regardless of price...?

And "supersonic"... will definitely look into them! Look really good and considering my Wellgo's at the moment work really well (but are black ) they seem a good bet!

Great pedals, but the bodies are slightly less tough than the DMR's - if you clout them hard I've seen a pin distort the Mag alloy of the body so the pin ends up diagonal instead of straight up. Awesomely light though.

Gusset slim jims. Bigger foot area than the V8/12 and clones. Feel much better underfoot, and my feet aint that big (10)

There's not much in it, but V12s.
