New pedal help

[The Ghost]

Hi folks,

I hit a rock with one of my pedal this weekend and it aint working so well now. I was thinking of buying another set of the same, that way I would have a spare pedal, but at a little over R1 000 its quite steep. Im wondering if I should move to another option.

 

What pedal do you like, I need one with a good amount of float so that my knees dont kill me?

No eggbeaters please.

Hi folks,

I hit a rock with one of my peddles this weekend and it aint working so well now. I was thinking of buying another set of the same, that way I would have a spare peddle, but at a little over R1 000 its quite steep. Im wondering if I should move to another option.

I have candy 3's...nice platform that eggies don't have, I like a bit of float and they are super pimp and light....downside = rebuild every year

I also have a set of XT's pedals...bulletproof but heavy

The pedals may be angry because you call the peddles?!

 

Shimano's all the way for me. They simply work. Maybe not the most fashionable, but what the heck. Occasional issue clipping in - but that's always been because of mud in the shoe, quick bang of the shoe against something and problem sorted.

Try Look Quartz. Few in the range. I have used the cheap one, and recently acquired the top on Carbon TI.

 

They start as little from about R700 up to R2200 (Carbon TI) a pair, service kits avail.

 

 

 

Nice float.

 

I bought a set and had a bearing issue, they were replaced without issue.

 

Good Luck.

Thats exactly why I moved away from them to the Time PEDALs

Thanks, I like these because they are similar to the time pedals wrt mud, but I see they have only 3 degrees of float vs the 5 degrees of my time pedals.

TIME, I will never use anything else. I've had my ATACs for 12+ years and they work in any condition with zero maintenance. cleats are now starting to look at bit worn

Syncros All Mountain. Lighter than XTR. Takes Standard SPD Cleat. Cost around R550

what is the quality of these like?

Only using it for about 3 months. No Issues yet. It took a few big knocks so far and still going strong. Lighter than the Shimano equivilent trail Pedals. Check out Revolution Cycles Bree street. They still have a few sets left. The only issue is sometimes clipping in takes a second try because the platforms sometimes grip if you're sliding your cleat forward to clip in.
