marko35s Posted March 7, 2014 Share Had those and they are good. currently have a set of thesehttp://www.chainreac...dals/rp-prod665They look a bit stronger than the others, any other real difference? How long is the wait for delivery from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If normal tracked delivery (SAPO tracked) then it's about a week or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko35s Posted March 7, 2014 Share If normal tracked delivery (SAPO tracked) then it's about a week or 2.Two weeks? Damn.Although my main thinking behind the pedal upgrade is the way I was slipping around on wet pedals when Vasbyt was doing a pretty convincing river impression last Sunday. So as long as they were to arrive before winter I should be okay.Probably.I might have to go for the cheaper set and buy two because mini-me will have a hissy fit if I get something decent and leave him out.

Do it. And the Nukeproofs aren't realy THAT much better, in real terms. They're thinner, which makes them less prone to rock strikes, and they have a slightly beter platform, so they mold to the shoes a bit better. But the V8 copies are brilliant pedals. Cheap. Cheerful. Strong. And for the price of 1 pair of nukeproofs, you have 2 sets of pedals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted March 7, 2014 Share They look a bit stronger than the others, any other real difference? How long is the wait for delivery from there? The main difference is the axel and the bearings. The V8s held up to some abuse. They went off to a happy owner on a bike I sold. I would've kept them if the bike didn't need a set of pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Man Posted March 7, 2014 Share Had those and they are good. currently have a set of thesehttp://www.chainreac...dals/rp-prod665I've got Straitlines. I thought those were grippy until I got Atomlab Aircorps. Yoh! Yoh! Yoh! @ Marko. If you don't mind a bit of heft I know the bike shed has gotten a shipment of Minion DHF's in. I think they are pretty well priced. Edited March 7, 2014 by Omega Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted March 7, 2014 Share I am currently running an older pair of CB 5050's I don't like the new ones as I have heard first hand of a set that came apart in France a while ago on their maiden outing..... They are probably the only thing I would spend money on in the CB stable...... They use 3mm grub screws as pins. Height adjustable and replaceable from your local engineering supply shop. And serviceable. Edited March 7, 2014 by Grebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted March 11, 2014 Share My next set of tyres will be Hutchinson Toro's. HD's are cool and all, but down here you need a tire that can handle sand. Lots of it. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
