Flat pedals thread

V8 because they're bulletproof

I'm trying to get my hands on some MX30 DX pedals if anyone has a pair to sell

Nope, got mine through a friend at trade.

Think you can find em online for around £80

I use these:

Catalyst pedals.
They are big. The guy who sells them is a bit of an evangelist but, even so, I do like them.
I use them with FiveTens. Not tried any other shoes but would like something a bit lighter for summer.
I've not clipped in since last June!

I have a pair of Lambdas. I like the length but find them a bit narrow - don't support the outside of my foot so I feel I am rolling outwards.

I want to try some of these on the MTB:

Can lend you a pair of Catalysts if you want to try them

Choose any flat pedal,

remove the offending bits/pins,
lay some skateboard grip.

Has anyone actually done this? Does it work?

I don't think I could handle having the axle under the middle of my foot. Must be hard to engage the calf muscles like that.

Yes, that's kind of the point!
It's not for everyone. Suits plodding endurance efforts a lot more than explosive / sprinting.

OneUp Composite are currently available for a mad bargain on eBay.
normal prices are £40-£60, some guy is selling pairs for just £20.
mine arrived today and they are perfect. super nice and grippy too.

Ooh^ They look ... light.

Just got some Wellgo b144, was looking for a red ano flat, seems great so far. Nice and skinny and a fairly big footprint.

Thanks man, I might take you up on that at some point. Would be good to give a set a spin on the commute for a week, say. I've got a pair of spud shoes here that I'm going to give to @scherrit one day to midfoot and see how that goes but flats are likely to be in my future if I ever get to a 24hr MTB race again.

Are they legit or some cheap knockoff? I've not looked closely at OneUp so don't know if need to be looking for fakes or not?

Not as long as Catalyst so I wonder if they will work the same or not. Guess it will depend on foot/shoe size.

Just give me all your bikes & parts, then you won't need an extension.

nope, they're legit. proper packaging etc. feel lovely too.

£16 postage to DK :-(
If anyone (@hippy) is getting a pair and don't mind buying an extra one and forward it to me that'd be great. Or keep it till my next London trip.

I’ll pick some up for you mate.

Give me a shout when you’re planning a trip over to The London.

Postage doubled when I clicked two... :(

Thanks for the offer, I'm happy to cover the UK postage?

@amey got some pedals for you. neeed new bearings. officially classified as 'sick'.

You can grab them at the BAME bombay mix trade off.

Done, in the post.

Can post onward or hold them for when you pop over.

has anyone tried any of the cheap china ebay offerings?

like this one.

bummed to have missed the oneup ones ^

Nope, but by the looks of them good broad, slim platform but the pins are too few and too chunky to offer decent grip.

What would you be using them for?

just commuting
