Flat Pedal Advice ?

OceanOne

Hi
I have always used clipless pedals on my mountain bikes over the years and have just bought a new bike and fancy trying some flats. The three that I think I should choose between are Wellgo MG1, Superstar Nanos ( or the Carbon Cycles version ) or Shimano Saints. I am not familiar with any of these and have never seen them in any shops that are local to me so they will be an internet buy. From the three is one of them a particularly good all rounder or safe bet for my first flats ? I have seen the Wellgos for £30.00, the Carbon Cycles Exotics for £33.00 and the Shimano Saints ( OE whatever that is ) for £37.00. They all look good to me but I have no experience with flats and I'm not that great when it comes to choice. Usage will be xc, trail and general. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Do a forum search and you'll find dozens of similar threads.

You'll not go wrong with any of those.

I have Saints. Take the washers off the pins and they feel like glue.

All look good. I have Nanos on my GT and MG-1s on my Anthem... for me the Nanos feel like the better platform, but there's really not a lot in it. I would happily buy either again. Both sets of pedals have now done over 3k miles, and in some pretty dreadful weather, so I'm impressed with the bearings and seals.

Very happy with mine - though they are on the heavy side if that matters to you. But the others you mention are just as good.

Have run Nano's on mine for over 12 months with no problems, great pedal for the price.
