Pedals

[Gravity Aided]

They are okay, not a lot of cycling stuff in any one store, though. Very good with camping, fishing, and golf gear. Very good online presence.

I changed the cheap plastic pedals on my Spesh Rockhopper for DMR V8s. Available in an array of colours to match your bike too I got mine in White and no colour loss yet after having the bike for over 2 years.

How did you get on with these? Thinking of ordering a pair.

They are brilliant!
They grip really well, even through mud etc. They are heavy, but if weight isn't an issue for you then they're a good buy.

I suspect you are unlikely ever to want anything more than the DMR V8 recommended above, unless you want some bling colours. (V8 lose their colour pretty quickly unless you go for the plain silver ones).

That's not to say that there aren't some nice pedals out there for little money. Check eBay for V8 copies by Wellgo, still pretty good, or for some groovy shapes and colours look at Superstar components, Nukeproof, even Bikehut.

For engineered beauty, try Shimano Saints, currently on offer on various mail order sites. If you decide to run pinned flats, remove the middle front pin, that's the one that rips yer shins.

This is of most interest since I recently upgraded my bike & put my peddles from my old bike on dmr v8 love them but since they were black looking a bit scruffy now - thought about re painting but since I keep getting shin wounds I decided to have a look for new ones with pins not so high. I decided on shimano saints ! Pleased to hear they get the thumbs up - ordering them next week : )

I ordered some Wellgo MG1 in the end. On sale for £29.99 with a further 10% off at high on bikes with code TOUR10.
