MarcBurger Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) WRT those "weird creaking noises", Does not mean it's failing. try clean and grease your pedal threads first.XT's are usually bullet proof in that sense, been riding with the same set for 4 years. Edited July 21, 2014 by MarcBurger

Vangar Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Shimano 520 or 540. Bullet proof and reliable. Yup another vote for those here. Used to use the 540's, hit many a rock with them, dragged through water tons, they just work. Bought the trail version of the XT's for my new bike.....they are 99.9% the same, slightly thinner, slightly lighter but they feel pretty much the same, so value for money it's a no brainer.

Furbz Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 interesting to hear we are not the only ones experiencing issues with shimano mtb pedals.my ole man is on his 3rd set of XTR pedals this year!
Raydek Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Shimano 540's are to the MTB world what a Toyota Hilux is to the 4x4 world... UNKILLABLE!!! mrbaker, Vangar, BSG and 1 other 4
ScottCM Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) So what would you guys suggest using then for muddy conditions, as my Shimano (SH t Man O No) M520 are absolutely crap in these conditions. Edited July 21, 2014 by ScottC-M

Paulst12 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Look s-track are very smooth pedals, however the rock protectors break easily, and the spindle is easy to bend... I had 2 sets and neither lasted more than 6 months (weigh 85kg) Time atac pedals are very good. I found the cheaper ones to be better than the carbon as they dont have as much movement... Shimano SPDR pedals in general are the bomb... XT is better value for money here than XTR and more durable.... however do weigh a lot more than the other makes like LOOK so if u are a weight wheeny, look elsewhere.

ScottCM Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Keep your feet on the pedals? As mentioned before, for the Dusi2C race that wasn't possible as the rivers didn't have any bridges so you had to port your bikes.
