    V8 are a very small pedal and are not that good.

    Thanks revelrider,

    Cheers Nicklouse. would you say the wellgo pedals in the link are decent enough?
    Im not looking to spend a silly amount on pedals.
    The pedals that came on the cube ltd are very small and provide very minimal grip.
    I just want something that I will be able to get my foot on enough to get some power down,
    and also not too heavy

    The MG1's are way way better than the V8's. (I have both)
    The best you'll find at the price,

    thanks cooldad,

    Is the the ebay price ( £30 inc postage ) cheaper than at a shop or about the same?

    I got a pair of Sandersons - same just relabelled for under £20 (probably because no one knew what they were), but around £30 seems quite reasonable. You could check out the usual suspects though. CRC, Wiggle etc.
    Comparable pedals can cost double or triple (and are probably made by Wellgo anyway - they make millions for different companies).
    I don't do smileys.

    If you want really light you can get the MG1's with titanium axles, but way more expensive.

    But already you can feel you need another bike, or two....
