AlanD Posted August 24, 2016 Share Was these or some Spanks. The fact that these were half the price of the Spanks kinda sealed the deal... They arrive on Monday, hopefully. http://static.jensonusa.com/images/Default-Image/Zoom/6/PE245A00.jpgCan't go wrong with these things. Bought mine a good few months ago and they are awesome...now just need to save for their buddies 5-10..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonky Posted August 24, 2016 Share Does it come with spare tubes and puncture repair kit? not needed for a GRID, TBH. The guys in ThornVille (aka Botswana) ride GRIDs and they don't have any issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted August 24, 2016 Share $364 eachI took the 105 5800 option which includes the PM and crankarm (LHS). $399 is the normal price, less 10% and then $9.99 for a 2 working day delivery. At R13.89/$ it's just over R5kI like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2016 Share Ouch remember buying mine late last year from CWC on sale for R499.....I know. That's what the ZAR rates have done to us. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted August 25, 2016 Share I know. That's what the ZAR rates have done to us. At least they are kind of serviceable so should last forever if looked after. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2016 Share At least they are kind of serviceable so should last forever if looked after.Yeah. I could get cheaper pedals, but I had 3 criteria. Must be hardy. Check. Must have pins that go ALL the way through. Check.Affordable (ie not R 2,000 landed) My current pedals, as awesome as they are, can only accept grub screws and as such they shed pins and deform when the pins are ripped out, cos they don't go all the way through. Flats with a bolt-type pin design are, IMO, far superior if only for that reason. Sadly that limits your selections.

Allows a longer pin and it really does improve the grip. Alouette3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was contemplating getting aftermarket pins, but I'll see what they're like before I buy 32 stainless steel hex head bolts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that limits your selectionsI've got the Saints on my FatBike, which I'm using as my recovery bike to build up leg strength after a broken hip. I've never ridden on flats before, and since fitting the Saints, all I can say is that they are freakin' amazing!!
