WILL THE PEDALS HAVE A SHORT LIFE AND WARE OUT SOON DO TO ALL THE MOVING PARTS
Our pedals have been engineered and designed internally to be extremely durable and extremely low maintenance.
- Springs- Our springs are designed to have a minimum of 1 million cycles but as we have designed, 1 million cycles Is a low estimate.
- Spring plungers- Have shown little to no ware in 1 million cycle tests.
- Sliding Puck- This puck is the key to our design; it is one of the hardest and anti-friction components availble. It also has shown little to no ware in 1 million cycle tests under heavy load. The puck slides back and forth In between two thin hard stainless plates without lubrication on the surfaces as designed.
- Spherical bearing- Our bearing is custom, Teflon coated bearing has shown little to no ware in 1 million cycle tests.
- 2 Sleeve axle bearings- Pedal has been designed with the best, lowest friction plastic sleeve bearings designed for longest life. These same bearing are found in the many of the other highest quality pedals
On the market.
- Seals- Our pedal has 4 seals to help prevent dirt and moisture from entering the internal mechanism. 1 plate seal, 2 oring seals for spring plungers and one shaft seal. These seals are extremely effective, however like any other pedal
- Depending on riding conditions and hours on pedals more frequent maintenance could be advised.
No slipping off. Cycling is fun again!
First heard about these in a cycling magazine and became really interested in them because as a rider who uses regular flat pedals, I've always found myself having to make little micro adjustments in my foot position when riding. I figured with a set of these, I would no longer need to adjust my foot placement because the pedal itself would adjust.
I tired these pedals on an endurance road bike and a fat bike. I will say that they're a little on the big side and stick out from the bike some (comparable to having a set of pedal extenders -which I like because I have big feet). However, on the road bike this could lead to pedal strikes in tight turns so human bullet trains might not be about it. it's a tradeoff I would take. Riding out of the saddle was a little unnerving at first -especially if I grabbed the end of the pedal with my foot and the twist was more pronounced. However, this isn't a dig so much as a thing that forces better foot placement/riding habits. Overall I like the lighting motif, the sets of extra springs to go up or down in felt resistance, and the second set of studs if you want a more aggressive grab on your shoes.I also felt like it helped mitigate the need to constantly adjust my foot. So good product. I'm interested to see how they will perform in Alaska during the winter.
Road bike and MTB clip in pedals have float. But what about 'flats'? Now they do! A very good solution in a high quality pedal!
Great first model of pedals! I don't feel as much float as I initially was expecting, which is good because I don't want the pedal flopping all over. I still plan on playing with the different springs to see a difference. However, when first riding out of the saddle (road bike rider), I did feel more comfortable than the pedals I had on before. The pegs haven't ruined my shoes yet, so the engineering to make these easier on shoes seems to be working.
The design is really cool as I love the crackle effect. Only 1 thing I would change and 1 thing to suggest for future models. The red color looks more like pink on the online photos, which made me go with black instead. If the red was more of a normal red, those would have been my choice. So in future models, I'd like to see an adjustment to the colors so they're more true, unless the red would have come as normal and it's just a photo issue.
Second would be that for road riders concerned with weight, the pedals are a bit on the heavier side. I'm sure this isn't an issue for mountain biking, as you probably want more robust pedals. It's not bad, but I would be concerned adding these to a carbon fiber road bike considering you're trying to cut as much weight as possible on those type of bikes. So potentially adding a road-specific option that takes weight more into account would be a huge appreciation for road riders and I'm sure could lure more people over to these pedals.
Overall, I love the pedals so far and look forward to riding them and seeing what comes out in the future!
A couple of rides in and I'm very happy to have float back in my riding. They have a very intuitive feel. I could feel my foot angle changing as I rode. Not having to focus on lifting my feet to adjust is a joy. The pedals are very well made and being able to fine tune them easily will add to my riding pleasure. They are a great upgrade to my bike.
