im really struggling to find a set of 9/16 pedals i like for my
86 pro performer.
really want beartrap type but cant justify
the big bucks for hutch

what are shark bites like?
are they to "new" for an 86 pro performer?
what other alternative 9/16 beartraps are they???

Suntour XC2's are good, but expect to pay £60 plus for a NOS set.
There is loads of "survivor" XC2s to be had, which restore a piece of pee with new cages, which are readily available.
Ad

edit; getting 9/16 may be tricky, though I DID have some, but sold em.

I am 16 stone and never bent my shark bites yet, so they are strong and cheap as chips

I think they were later than that...maybe even early 90's

Stodgy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2007, 01:02 PM »

Yep - I reckon they were introduced 92/93 time...shoot me down if I'm wrong!

dwain dibbly · « **Reply #14 on:** January 16, 2007, 01:06 PM »

Stodgy · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2007, 01:08 PM »

How about those copy XC-IIs...the ones made by Victor? They came out early eightys and really look the part. Lots about too.

If they goin on a rider dude use em, they are great pedals, i ve got them on most of my builds simply because i build all my bikes to look the part and be up to the job in hand and i dont like platform pedals, if you like em use em, they wont let you down.
