Swart Kat Posted June 28, 2013 Share Stay clear of XTR! Wear out in a short while and service kit way too expensive! The new LOOK carbons good option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amasendeinja Posted June 30, 2013 Share Any pedal for which can purchase a rebuild kit should be avoided like a Hillbfow hooker. That'd be Crank Bros. A rebuild kit! For a pedal? Seriously!? Never seen or heard of a Shimano pedal rebuild kit, and never needed to service my 959s (XTR/XT predecessor) in 5 years. So pretty much what most others said here - XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimby Posted June 30, 2013 Share Crank Bros look like the the Dog's Bollocks. Turns out they're just bollocks... XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in10sive Posted June 30, 2013 Share went for quick 15km XC ride with my new Shimano MX80 Saints pedals and 5.10 Freeriders today, cannot really feel a great loss in pedal effeciency vs cleats - was lotsa fun, don't think I will be going back to cleats especialy after my big fall 2 weeks ago. Happy with the Saints Audible Anarchy and Brian Fantana 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted June 30, 2013 Share Platform pedals are the go, just gotta play it safe with the spikes + shins, I file some of the outer spikes down, round them off - still grippy just not to rippy on human flesh. Nothing beats the freedom of moving your feet into which ever position feels good in the moment + bailing is a pleasure. Man I feel the pain when okes bail still locked in.Happened once, never again, the moment before a slam normally unfolds in a micro second, nothing like now trying to focus on not eating it too bad and unclipping both feet in perfect time with your fast approaching oblivion!!

Dubber88 Posted June 30, 2013 Share 540's is your best value for money out there. After moving from SPD's to Eggies( riding them through two rebuilds until they were moeg) and a while back to Quartz.I prefer Quartz pedals by far.
