looking for the best bombproof set of pedals. had a pair of crank bros 5050x and ive found out to trust the reviews on that 1, theyre crappy. just got a set of cheap oddessy pedals now but theyve got the plastic pins, and I want sharp metal...
i had wellgos on my old bike, and am considering buying a set them again, anything else that will stay true with metal grip
It all just depends on how much you want to spend really. There's some out there that are really grippy and cheap but they usually last a short time. I've been running the Deity pedals for a wee bit and like them a lot. I've also used Easton dh flats, Dark Cycles Arachnid's, Azonic's, 1664 beaver traps. They've all been pretty good for me.
I use a pair of Easterns on my Demo. Ive had them since last summer and they have proven to be a superior set of pedals. They are decently light and extremely strong. You mentioned a problem with the spikes on another pair...These pins are LONG compared to other pedals, but not to the point that they cause problems. I also picked them up for $35. they come in a variety of colors to match any theme you've got going. they come in a magnesium version too, being 5 oz. lighter. As far as i've experienced, they are bomb proof.
Too bad they weigh more than some forks out there... Any Syncros pedal rocks really. The Mag and alloy models are light enough and haven't failed me except once when I bent an axel. I e-mailed Malcolm and he sent me a new axel F.O.C.
Just get a couple of cheap ones (Wellgo's). I ride 50/50's and I've beat the hell out of them and they're fine, but obviously they vary from rider to rider.
The sunline v1's are very tough. my friend runs them on his sunday, and I've seen lots of sparks fly off of them in the rocks and very minimal damage was done to the pedals.
I run the atomlab trailpimps, or whatever they are called. because they are so thin, like the decoy, wah wah's, they don't make contact with the ground very often. I ride a Chumba F5 with lots of sag so if they were gonna break they would have by now.
the only dif between the atomlab trailking/trailpimp and the general issue is the width? how thick they are? and im sure weight, but the general issue seems good enough,

Yah, i have the raw, powdered finish Mentals, and they have not given me any poroblems so far. I used them all last season on the Diablo trails, and had a few bad spills, as well as smashing them dead onto some rocks on BMW. Spindle is strait and stiff, no flex at all, grease is not a problem, they are oh so smooth, and the grip makes you want to hit that new drop without even giving it a once over
