Right I've been looking for a good set of race pedals for ages.

I love the feel of Oddy Sharkbites but I don't think they'd look right on my new school cruiser .

I'm very much leaning towards a set of Chrome and Gold DMR V12's as I use them on my Cannondale and like the feel. I've tried Crupi Pro rounds and new School DX's but is there anything else I'm missing?

Oh and where wuld be the best place to get a set of the DMR's from as they're limited editions apparently.

i love the the V12's nothing comes close....

there are a couple of shops on fleabay selling them cheap - have all the limited editions as well.... or you can just get the chrome ones and by the 'pimp my pedals' kit for £7.99 which is what i did with my white ones to create the white and blue ones....

i used sharkbites and swore by them, not comfortable with crupi rounds, but the crupi pro squares are awesome they feel huge compared to the rounds, really comfortable grippy pedals

I found the pro rounds to be too grippy and you couldn't adjust your footing very well which was a pain.

Mind you I had a set of Hutch beartraps back in the day and swapped them over for a set of suntour beartraps as they seemed to wrk for me better.

They are very cheap aren't they.

My cruiser is going to look pimmped as a pimped thing now. (well when I get it it will)

I always find DMR pedals last about a week.Recently started using Odyssey Black Widows -so far they`re ok.

ha ha yeah im there apart from frame forks, cranks and brake....

Picked up a lovely Profile HIP stem for $14 posted the other day, BN cruiser slams and Sunn BFR wheels courtsey of Generallee. just need some funds and get you to order me a DX Crankset and Brake set.

oh and a shiny new frame from Dialled. Forks - need forks.... gonna be expensive.... Bombshells i suppose or sinz?? dont know about these carbon thingamegigs... I vowed never to buy another pair of carbon forks after clean snapping a pair of Pace R31's now here i am.... tsk tsk....

Zippy · « **Reply #9 on:** September 03, 2008, 05:07 PM »

I've just bought the Sinz carbon stealth and they look the nuts. I prefer the look to the Bombshells to be honest.

I think Carbon has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years.

I am using "Fattys Flatties" pedals, they are very slim profile and grip like anything

DINGO

these are the kiddies every one else just copies them or re-badges them:

I'll second Moschops on that. Took the Digglers advice and put some on my lad's bike, now all his freinds use them as well. They're also probably the lightest platforms out there- upgrade them with the Ti spindles like we did and they're defo the lightest.
By the way Moschops, I got the micro tyres and tubes safely the other day, many thanks.

Cool glad you got them, I've since had an e-mail from an importer regarding those, he will be selling to trade £19.99 a tyre and £8.50 a tube

Perhaps i shouldn't be that shocked at least he's getting some, that batch I got was ordered in April

I've been using the Wellgo magnesium pedals for a few years now and they're really good.

Not sure if they still make them, but still available on ebay for decent prices.

Will probably try the new E13 or Easton Flatboys when the Wellgo mag pedal supplies dry up.

If Burgtec made a slimmer version of their Penthouse pedal, I'd love to give those a whirl.

New school Shimano DX come with 2 length pins £50 but
look good, Wolfy swears by them as well.

Zippy · « **Reply #20 on:** September 04, 2008, 11:10 AM »

I've got a set sat here in front of me but I never got on with them when I used to use them before.
