Clipless, what are you guys using ?

[William42]

CB pedals feel pretty damn good, and they shed mud like its nobodies business.

If you don't mind replacing pedals once every week or two, they're definitely the best pedals out there. But if you don't like it when your pedal body falls off the spindle, and can't afford to buy a new set once a week, you should probably steer clear.

Ditto

I think they are great but do break for certain. If anyone rides goofy foot with them and collected a bunch of broken left sided pedals pm me. I would love work a trade, I must have 4 good left dx pedals and broken rights. Sh!/ !! Wish you could 've buy them individually.

SPD or bust. I couldn't imagine using any other pedal, and I've tried a few. They adjust nicely, are very durable, spare parts abound (try getting cleats for your Times at a resort bike shop....) and work flawlessly.

Running the same DX clips since '06. ZERO issues ever. Those smashing them into rocks are hacking it. Mine have plenty of scrapes and marks and still work faultlessly

Running XT trails on the CX bike, and again, flawless.

I don't see any other option these days. Shimano makes the best clip'd pedals hands down. Of course this is just my 'opinion'.

I ordered some XT trails for my new trail bike, has anyone had success running them on a DH bike?

I am pretty anti Crank Brothers because I hate the egg beater model that I have seen break over and over again and the fact there is no platform. I decided to give the Mallets a chance anyways last season because I like the adjustable pins and the fact it feels more like a flat pedal under your foot. I was nervous what the outcome would be because I have heard so many bad things about them but for me personally so far so good and no issues. I do wish they sat a little further out from the crank arm because with my shoes (5.10 Ravens) when the pedals are in a certain spot and I try to unclip my shoe hits the crank arm and can get hung up. I will be switching to the new Mallets when they come out to give them a shot because I think they have changed that slightly. For everything else I run Time ATAC's and have for the last 10 years with no issues. Just couldn't get the Z's to work for me personally on the DH bike with my shoes.

I have never ridden them on a DH bike, but I have knocked the hell out of my XTR trail pedals numerous times on rocks on my trail bike with no problems.

I did, however, XTRs, which, I believe, are just made with different materials.

Yea, I was going to get the XTRs then I saw they were only marginally lighter, plus I snagged the XTs for 60 bucks on a drunken Ebay bender.

I can't believe this thread keep coming up every year when the answer is always the same.

I think this thred comes up because the search engine on here is the WORST ? ;-) or maybe its just me but I can never find what Im looking when I do a search

I'm in on Times as well. Time Z's for the last 10 years, rocking the new MX 6, (the NEW XROC), this season. Consistent no matter the condidtions! I usually buy a new pair of Z's very 2 years due to vanity, but the pedals last a long, long time!

[Downhillbiker23]

Shimano DX pedals all day! The best out there. I run them on every bike I own minus my DJ bike.

[sbabuser]

I've only run CB pedals since '02, and never had an issue with them that wasn't my fault. IME, their failures are overly exaggerated.

Have you worked in a shop? In college the shop I worked in would warranty no less than 4 pairs of CB pedals a week, I've personally had 6 pairs warrantied.

[sbabuser]

I worked in a shop, but back when OnZa pedals were popular.

I own 1 set of original Mallet M's from '05, which are still going strong. They were warrantied once after I smacked a course marker (rebar) and I bent a wing. I've owned probably 6 pair of eggbeater sl's, a couple pair of candy sl's and one pair of Acids. The only ones that aren't still going strong are the Acid's, b/c I failed at pressing out the roller bearing on one side (I'm still using the other pedal).

I don't doubt that people have had problems with them, but I can honestly say that they've worked fine for me for over 11 years now.
