igg Posted May 14, 2016 Share So I've finally decided to switch to flats. I tried to order a set of five ten freeriders, sadly no stock in my size in the country , so now I'm just shopping for the pedals. I know about the Saints and the Giants; what are my general options in ZA for a price limit of R1.5k? Is there a big difference between completely flat pedals and ones that are more concave in the centre? stefmeister, dean smith and BenGraham 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kk6gan Posted May 14, 2016 Share I have a set of the giant flats and for the price they pretty good. Mine have taken quite a beating and still run smooth but if I was you and had the R1500 limit I would go for the saints. Not only do they look really good but I have only heard good things. Otherwise if you a fan of blue and they still available have a look at these https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/191035-hope-f20-flat-pedals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickandtyred Posted May 14, 2016 Share V12 Pedals. From CRC in UK. All inclusive R1200 delivered to my door. Brilliant http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/za/en/dmr-v12-flat-pedals/rp-prod118165 I use them with 5 tens stealth rubber shoes. Good grip Edited May 14, 2016 by slickandtyred Thermophage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanD Posted May 14, 2016 Share I have a pair of Saints and they are awsome. Great grip and nice low profile design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 14, 2016 Share My personal choice for R1,500 would be either the chromag low profile ones (forget the name) spank spikes or the new Kore pedals. Saints are great as well, and at a lower price point. AlanD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail - er - park Posted May 14, 2016 Share Nothing better than Spank Spikes in my experience ...... especially with FiveTens Edited May 14, 2016 by trail - er - park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking at these and wondering if the lack of pins in the middle is going to be a huge issue. http://p.vitalmtb.com/photos/products/11664/photos/10548/s780_Pedal_Torsion_SX_V2_Blk.jpg?1357587187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimmer... but no, just the outside ones that matter. And whatever you do, PLEASE get ones with pins that go all the way through. Otherwise rocks are gonna munch them left right and centre. Busy battling with that myself. Pins getting lost every ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 14, 2016 Share Tbh you won't go wrong with saints. Best bang for buck at the moment. henningvr and igg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igg Posted May 14, 2016 Share http://www.dabomb.co.za/productpage/178/Relic_Fro_Pedals These things look exactly like those hopes, but at a much lower price point . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henningvr Posted May 14, 2016 Share I've been riding the snot out of a pair of Saints for just over a year now. You can't go wrong with them. I'm a big chap. When I started with the Saints I was pulling the scale at +/- 120kg. Down to 100kg as of today. Whatever flats you choose, have fun!

igg Posted May 14, 2016 Share I'm leaning towards the saints, I've just never seen them in any shops in JHB. I've hardly seen any flats in jhb for that matter, nor people who use them. XC much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
