Thanks coxy17 I really like the look of them but I am unsure what colour to go for, they are at the top of the pile so far tho Thanks again

What flats did you destroy and how ?

Laurence25

I have had a number of flats the latest where some very cheap NS bike platform pedals the bearing were short beyond repair and and some wellgo v8's witch i have to say are very strong but i have had them a few year and they have been fixed so many times it time for a new pair plus there not that grippy

MG-1

seriously tough, they lasted 18 months under my housemate (who destroyed an xt freehub in a single ride, bent forks, bent cranks, snapped wheels, broken saddle rails, snapped chains and cassettes...)

Hummm never thought about them i will have a look thanks ride_whenever and massive fan of the carbon 456 build btw it looks the dogs !

You should see it atm, it has been pimped (we definitely didn't have a hope delivery at the shop) easton carbon DH bars, red ceramic bb, red master cylinder caps and red bore caps...

Laurence25

OMG i am drooling! i a so tempted to buy one of the frames its unreal, post it up in the your ride section so we can all see

Need to take some more pics now it has been pimped, and the steel one as that has 9 gears now.

I've also currently got a rather nice demo FS bike that i might pop some pictures up of...

Laurence25

Ohhhh gd plan i am looking forward to seeing the carbon 456

If you want serious Übergrip pedals, it has to be Wellgo B54. Much overlooked, probably as they're not the most stylish, but then if you're combining them with the super unstylish Five Tens anyway...

Cheap too.

Thanks deadkenny ill take a look although the superstar pedals are still the favourites ATM

Looking at those superstars pedals, whats the difference between the nano tech and the nano thru pin?

peter413

Thru pin model has thru-pins and the other has grub screws, I much prefer thru-pins

I run white MG1`s on both my Hardtail and Full sus, combined with the ubber grippy hard rubber soles of FiveTens, i`ve had zero foot slip and get great `connectivity` with the bike.
Think you can still get them for £30 here

XPEDO UTMOST 340 GRAMS GOLD PEDAL XMX16AC

They were under £40 inc. p&p on eBay international (Taiwan).
340gms per pr (weight verified), excellent design, & quality material/build. They came with box of replacement pins, & spanner too.
Maybe worth a look?

BTW, Xpedo is lesser known high-end arm of Wellgo (largest global manufacturer of pedals, found as standard on most new bikes).
