Advice on flats

[Uni]

I got given these, are they any better than the default bear traps? (For weekend warrior types)

 

 

[Tumbleweed]

Bear traps would probably be better. Those "nylon" pedals can be quite slippy when it's wet.

Saints are excellent. Bomb proof, serviceable, with parts also available. Their profile isn't that low, but they do the job.

[Uni]

price of saints? I think I might go get me a set of these giant ones otherwise, not too hard on the bank balance.

[RockCoach]

Uni, you want metal pins...  (and possibly soccer shin pads while learning )

Think they are about R1200 - R1300. Haven't ordered since the major price increase.

I got Saints for R580 from oom Chris. But that was before Nene-Gate.

Would it be meanto give them away to the first person I see with a skedonk commuter? As in a curse to the dude.

I've always said if my bike gets stolen there's enough of my DNA on the pedals to ID my bike.

That Giant one you mentioned for R620 at linden, does it have a specific model name/number?

I don't normally ride with flats, they for my commuter bike , but there were all these plastic things for R600ish and then the Saints for R750 and they are absolutely gorgeous. I never thought you could describe a pedal as "beautiful" but these are.

I am kinda partial to these flats myself, but not everyone shares my aesthetic...

 

 

I have a pair of these that have moved from BMXes to MTBs to fixies...mucho robust. Don't know if they're still being made, though. Mosh was a sorta Giant brand, I think...
