Advice on new pedals?

uzapuca

Hi guys,
I would like to buy a new pedal with good grip. I cannot make my mind on those two models.

Wellgo 54

Wellgo 143
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=52877
the second model can fit a toe clip.

I ride a kind of a hybrid bike Kona Smoke with 29 tyre size. I cycle a bit on city asphalt and many times on rough, mountain roads like those one with the very same bike. Sorry that I cannot manage to send attachment with the upload feature so i send some links. That is not my bike in the last picture but you will get the point. This are some images for those mountain roads:

Try the Wellgo MG1:

Nice large platform, excellent grip, good bearings and an all in weight of just 380g. Best pedal there is for this money.

Thanks for the info Supersonic. I will check them out. They look quite nice maybe a bit smaller than Wellgo 143. Is magnesium better then?

It's just lighter! Not quite as tough in an impact say, but even then I use them for hard MTBing, and have had plenty of rock strikes. No probs at all!

I have a set of the B54s and I really like them as they're super grippy even when its v wet.

Yeah the MG1s seem to be the pedal of choice around here, I asked pretty much the same question well over a year ago and got the "get MG1s" except there weren't any available when I wanted them! Hence the B54s.

Thanks for the feedback...the B54 look like a very strong pedal. Aren't the MG1s a bit fragile? Magnesium supposed to be light but a not as strong as aluminium...i think. What do you think? Because there is NO price difference between both of them at Chain Reaction website.

I've hammered MG1's, plenty pedal strikes and hard use. They are not exactly fragile.
