Choice of pedal colour :)

odessouky

Bit of a silly topic, but I was hoping to get some feedback on what choice you would go for...given the bike's colour scheme...

I've got an Anthem 2 27.5, 2014, which is mainly silver, white and with lime accents...



Would you go for a GREEN pedal?

Ive got my sights on a Nukeproof Electron Evo in green?

Or would it look terrible on the black SRAM cranks?

Like I said, a bit silly, but wanted your opinion...

:shock:

Thnx

Black

I normally just go for black if I'm not sure it'll match other colours on my bike. Also moderation is important with colours, before you know it your bike will look like something very awful.

odessouky

Yeah..black is the obvious choice, but wouldn't that be a little boring..?

The Rookie

Black cranks, black pedals, perfect match.

I usually go for pink as it matches my underwear, but its personal choice....

But black will match your gimp mask.

These greens would go better...

They're showing as 'out of stock' but that rarely lasts long with Superstar, and if you contact them they'll tell you when they're getting more in.

I'd be temped with a white, or a darker silver like the shimano saints.

Here's mine with white.

or brown to match the skid mark....

White will contrast with the black cranks, but will also match the predominantly white frame. Lime green would potentially match the lime green accent on the frame, but equally you risk the two being close, but not close enough.

Black or white - I'd go with white. The other option is to pick a colour that doesn't appear anywhere on the bike (electric blue, for instance, or orange) and then get all of your trim items in that colour (grips, cables, pedals, seat collar, stem etc). It's a crazy option as far as I'm concerned, unless you're building a bike from scratch, but it would work in terms of colour scheme.

Your image is not showing up on my phone?

You're not missing much. It's a totally different bike, in different colours.

It's a mainly white bike, with black cranks and white pedals. Therefore relevant to the OP. :P

avalanche_expert

I'd say black or white for the pedals. The green would look good if it was exactly the same shade, but the pedals look like a very vivid lime green. The green on your bike looks more subtle, so black if you want to be boring and white to be different IMO.

rockmonkeysc

Black goes with anything. Go black.

Hope you didn't order these from Leisure Lakes. They may refuse to sell them to you. They managed to convince my son not to buy them as being "plastic" they are only suitable for freeride. They managed to sell him Nukeproof Protons for £20 more!! They didn't seem adverse to selling them plastic carbon frames on mountain bikes though!!!

Don't worry these pedals are fine and a good buy. It's just my general rant about about LL customer service.

jamski

They're great pedals. I decided I those too. Now there's even more reason to post the picture earlier.

davegreg

I will choose white. Match the color of bike.

Jgb1

I have the green Nukeproof and my mate has your bike. Pedals are really good but the greens are totalyn different. Get the black.

Got a pair of gloves from them via Amazon last week. Still had the security tag attached which was also in a part which would inevitably leave a hole.
