been browsing for a pedal and saw two similar ones that I liked, one made by XLC and one by Wellgo, any ideas which of these two brands is better?

    I think you will find they are all made by Wellgo.

    really? thats weird, makes you wonder why they make pedals for each other, or use two different brand names, or whatever the arrangement is. I guess Ill flip a coin then, thank you!

    Why? Wellgo make pedals and that is it. XLC sell parts made by lots of different companies.

    Some gentle trolling I guess, a bit like the 'when should I use the droppers' thread :lol:

    Ive owned every pedal known to man over 30+ years of riding. Everything from Dura Ace to Look Keo and the only thing I use nowadays are Exustar. Cheap, light and dependable.
    the deeper the section the deeper the pleasure.
