    Wellgo MG1 - great for the money and a lot of people here swear by them! :wink:

    MG1's with ti axles if you want them really light, or just plain MG-1s, these have a great value/performance ratio.
    I also run Shimano DX MX30's on another bike & they are really nice as well, Gussett Slim Jims are also another of my fave pedals, as are DMR V8s.

    +1 for mg1's - nice big surface with lots of grip - very light too. they are magnesium so probably not as robust as the alloy ones like V8s and Slim Jims.

    Slim jims are also available in Mg. and also known as the wellgo MG-52 & LU-A52

    +1 again for MG1's, very good as already stated and light but can still take quite a bashing when it gets rough going - you can take my word for that :)

    A bit more expensive, but at 400g, they are pretty light for a flat pedal with loads of grip, twice the price of the wellgo's but stronger!

    WELLGO MG1

    Mine have lasted 2 years and no real problems, apart from had to put some grease in a couple days ago, good going for the price and 2 year

    They are the lightest and cheapest in that combo.
