? Pedals, Light, Thin, Good Value, Grippy.

Nobby Nic

Hi, I`m looking for some new pedals as an alternative to the Wellgo MG1`s I`ve used on my previous bike. They were fine in every respect but ideally I wanted something a little thinner. My only minor gripe with the MG1 pedals was the black paint wore off very quickly.
Any recommendations for a pedal that`s similar in weight, grip and price but thinner and keeps its looks longer ?

That's what I'll get next... cheap Nanos! I have MG1s and Nanos - the Nanos are better, but these are cheaper and as of last week come in colours other than black.

They look to be the exact same pedal as the SS nano... good find.

i got a pair of nanos last week and after just one ride i can honestly say they're the best upgrade i've made to my bike. i was dubious as to the benefit of new pedals but they're awesome!

Glad to see they've started doing colours, wanted some white ones for the Tues and thought it was going to have to be SS.
Order placed

ive chucked some nukeproof electrons on the SS, great pedals, nice shape, plenty of grip (as you'd expect from having a load of 'pins' sticking out of them!!), cheap enough too, and fully serviceable if needs be,

Built using a Nylon Reinforced Composite, the Electrons use sealed cartridge bearings to help spread the stress load from heavy impacts and rubber lip seals between the axle end and pedal body to reduce the ingress of water and dirt – which will keep them going for longer in between services.

Plastic then ;-)

The Northern Monkey

ha!

Yup, plasticy type, pretty much the same a that they make boats in,

Think I'm going for the SS Nano's in Gunmetal for this very reason

Given the platform sizes quoted I'd say it's worth paying more for the Nanos over the Exotics.
