New Pedal time

toastedone

Ok i am looking for some new flats to fit to my 456 when it arrives, I am looking for Gold coloured flats

I have looked at SS Nanos so far, anyone have any other recommendations.

You should know the score by now:
Superstar Nanos
Wellgo MG1s

Wellgo's not available in gold

They won't be gold very long anyway.
But I'm sure I have goldish coloured ones (now mostly magnesium alloy colour)

Well i can +1 on the Superstar Nanos. Just put red ones on my bike.

Nanos it is then

I'm running nanos too, great pedals.

Doubt the Nano's will stay gold any longer than MG1's, mine didn't stay red for very long which is kind of a given, it is where you stand and you quite often have muddy shoes which abrasive to anodising/paint etc.

Just like my current black V8's, not so black anymore, put i guess they will look pretty for my build pics

The sides always stay the right colour which is all you really see in pics or when someone is watching you ride it, so it doesn't bother me as the rubbed away bits are hidden under my shoes.

Just ordered the gold Nano's

Hi, whats the difference between the CNC Nano Thru Pin Pedals and the CNC Nano Tech Flats?

I'm getting a Boardman team mountain bike and wondered if I should get new pedals?

The thru-pins have pins screw through the whole body which makes them easier to remove when worn/smashed up. The other ones have grub screws which screw into the top of the body, this can make them harder to remove when worn/smashed up.

The thru-pins need more support so weigh a little more and have a bar attached from the middle to one edge of the pedal on each side, the other ones don't have this and they have two more pins each side. Personal preference as to which you get but unless you plan on running longer pins than standard, just get MG1's.

Looks like the Boardman team comes with welgos, If they have pins they will be good, the pins give you grip and kinda help stop your feet slipping from the pedals, If they don't have pins, I would recommend getting some that do, SS, DMR or welgos. If it comes with plastic pedals get rid of them ASAP.

Thank's, I hope some one knows what pedals they are :-)

When I get to the store I'll check them out and if they are pinless I'll get these DMR V8 Mountain Bike Pedals as Halfords sell those.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst pedals ever, stay away! If you want V8's, get the Wellgo "copies" for a tenner.

My DMR's have been fine

There are a whole host of pedals out there which are grippy, have a bigger platform, are thinner and are more reliable for not a lot more cash, though. Like the SS Nanos and Wellgo MG1s

Or cheaper and much better like the Wellgo B54's, super super grippy, massive platform and proper cartridge bearings.
