popcorn_skollie Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Got the giants on 2 bikes. They grip well. Very well. Maybe a little too well.Not much float if you want to re position your feet. They also chow my shoes. But then again I only ever used them with chucks and various skate takkies.I'm sure a more durable 5ten sole will hold up.
funnyman Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 DMR Vaults,or Specialized Bennies- been using both for about 9 years - paired with 510's...you cant go wrong.not sure on prices in SA though
slickandtyred Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 DMR V12. Paired with 5.10 stealth rubber shoes. Stick like glue. Haven't looked back
T-Bob Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I've got DMR V12s and run 5.10s as well and they are awesome but I got them for a steal. For the price and the ones you've chosen I'd go for Saints without a doubt. Can't go wrong.
VB_ Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 5 Ten shoes worth the bucks, you won't be sorry. I bought the cheapest pair with Dartmoor pedals (arguably not the best brand) and have to lift up my foot to adjust pedal position.
henningvr Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I've got DMR V12s and run 5.10s as well and they are awesome but I got them for a steal. For the price and the ones you've chosen I'd go for Saints without a doubt. Can't go wrong. This ^^^
Julian09 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I had the Giant pedals initially and they were more than good enough for most of the riding I did. Changing to Five Ten shoes made a huge difference though. I'm now on the Nukeproof Electron Evos and for me they're noticeably better. More grip and I prefer the bigger platform and shape. They're also holding up well so far for the price. Haven't ridden the Saints but a friend rides them and loves them.
captain morgan Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 New to flats , got the nukeproof neutrons with 5/10sVery happy .
johannrissik Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Any vaguely decent flats will work.Shoes? Barefoot is best, traction guaranteed. It's still Friday innit?
Goblin Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks for the replies.^ Seem to be leaning towards the neutrons though as they come in at R300 less than the saints(incl shipping) with minimal differences judging by the reviews.i use the nukeproof neutron evo.Grippy , light and cheap.Been using a set for two years now and still going strong.
DanielJhb Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Dmr vault would be first choice. Otherwise the neutrons are great and feel very light and grippy.
Alouette3 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Love my Nukeproof Neutrons. Nice and slim with great grip, best I've used so far., just not so east to get your hands on. Giants were great for their R350 price tag, but they not so cheap any more sadly! An alternative to 5.10 is shoes with Vibram soles, slick like crazy and don't get chowed by the studs.
Grease_Monkey Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I'm a bit biased, but also have a look at Funn pedals...
