Uni Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I got given these, are they any better than the default bear traps? (For weekend warrior types)
Tumbleweed Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Bear traps would probably be better. Those "nylon" pedals can be quite slippy when it's wet.
cadenceblur Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Saints are excellent. Bomb proof, serviceable, with parts also available. Their profile isn't that low, but they do the job.
Uni Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 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 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Uni, you want metal pins... (and possibly soccer shin pads while learning )
RockCoach Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 price of saints? I think I might go get me a set of these giant ones otherwise, not too hard on the bank balance. Think they are about R1200 - R1300. Haven't ordered since the major price increase.
RiverInTheRoad Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I got Saints for R580 from oom Chris. But that was before Nene-Gate. https://www.easybike.co.za/shimano-saint-pedals-pd-mx80.html R999 from easybike
Uni Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Uni, you want metal pins... (and possibly soccer shin pads while learning )Would it be meanto give them away to the first person I see with a skedonk commuter? As in a curse to the dude.
Uni Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Uni, you want metal pins... (and possibly soccer shin pads while learning )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?

Bomberman Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 TX..shopping this weekend Hi Uni, Its a bit out of your way but cycle zone in rustenburg also sell them. Last time I checked was R410, might be going there this weekend will check for you.
Baracuda Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Just got the Saints for R750 +vat off Chain Reaction http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/shimano-saint-mx80-flat-pedals/rp-prod82557 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.

Tumbleweed Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 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...
Uni Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I am kinda partial to these flats myself, but not everyone shares my aesthetic...Those look like shin eaters
