Spafsack Posted July 30, 2021 Share These actually look dam nice. I see lower pegs centre versus higher ones edges, front back i mean. So is that how they getting some sort of 'concave' i assume? The new flat shoes also look nice, hope sole is stiff ish. Wonder what pricing will come in at... TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find any info, but perhaps to adjust the angle at which a detent stops the pedal's rotation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea honestly it does seem to look like some sort of over complicated locking mechanism for the axle bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA-Q001 Posted July 30, 2021 Share If I should guess, its for adjusting how freely the pedal spins. When putting a foot down you would want your pedal flat again when bringing your foot back. If it hangs freely and contacts the ground it could spin a lot and you can struggle putting your foot flat on it again and nobody wants a foot to slip off of one of these pedals and it bites your shin.

So please excuse my ignorance, but what is this for? It's to keep the pedal horizontal so that newbies/rookies/roadies don't fall over sideways when trying to "cleat in". or It's to also keep the pedal horizontal, so the BMXers don't bash their shin against the pins when their foot pulls off the pedal.

Spot on, it adjusts the resistance between the pedal and its axle. Specifically important for free riders doing tricks in the air and taking their feet of the pedals. You want the pedal to remain flat, so that when you put your foot back down it’s in the right place. To a lesser extent downhill/Trail/Enduro riders don’t want the pedal spinning around at 14 billion rpm if it happens to clip a branch or something while you have your foot out in a turn. But, if your riding a pedal like this, and aren’t wearing shin guards, you need to seriously re-asses your life's choices. ????
