I need some very grippy pedals, for dh, fr, like roots, rocks in the wet/ dry. I was gonna get some Wellgo B54's, my mate has got them and they're BRILLIANT........... BUT........... they've been discontinued on CRC :(

    I am thinking of changing pedals as well to cage type but that injury has made me think twice :oops: my boardman comp has something like these fitted http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... delID=5198 but with 10 pins instead of 8 as on these. Should I be looking at more grippy shoes ?(usualy ride in karrimor's) and do cage type pedals give a lot more grip over what I have ???

    P.S sorry to highjack the thread :oops:

    dont let it put you off as that was done during practice for the first Swedish DH race of this season. not just cycling about.

    and i asked what do you have. not what looks similar.

    that wellgo would be a good grippy pedal.
