horrible? care to elaborate?They are horrible under foot, I can't stand them!
The New Specialized pedal looks good and is hopefully serviceable unlike their Bennies pedals.
I doubt they will be under $80 though
i usually see them around $130 toohow much do those pedals run for? im looking for something flat and spikey like that.. HOPEFULLY under the 80$USD mark.... i do not like my saint pedals
do you not like them or what?i've got 3 sets of the spanks (long story, teething issues, spank took care of me) - 1 on the wife's bike and 2 in the parts bin waiting for me to decide what to do with them. guess a classified ad or two is in order.
i did and didn't. i didn't like that it took 2 axle revisions to keep them in one piece on my bike. i did/do like the pedals once they were reliable but by then i'd already found others i liked just as well so i just stuck with them. i ride my wife's bike on occasion and they work great - no issues.do you not like them or what?
what axle problems did you have?i did and didn't. i didn't like that it took 2 axle revisions to keep them in one piece on my bike. i did/do like the pedals once they were reliable but by then i'd already found others i liked just as well so i just stuck with them. i ride my wife's bike on occasion and they work great - no issues.
the first version of these pedals had a horribly designed axle retention system which caused them to unscrew as you were pedaling. the second revision had another issue which i can't recall right now. the 3rd time was the charm and what they are using for current production.what axle problems did you have?
I've only ridden them on a friend's DH bike, but by the time you have the width of DH crankset then you have to put your foot 15mm or so further out so you aren't standing on a bulge it just feels ridiculous! I end slapping my foot down anywhere so these things are not for me.horrible? care to elaborate?
yep. I had to deal with that too. they eventually got around to sorting out the issue. Took forever. Would not recommend.the first version of these pedals had a horribly designed axle retention system which caused them to unscrew as you were pedaling. the second revision had another issue which i can't recall right now. the 3rd time was the charm and what they are using for current production.
More like over $200......They are horrible under foot, I can't stand them!

not trying to argue with you, but for anyone out there who hasnt seem them in person yet, they arent truly flat. maybe this pic will help.... the center pins are a bit lower. again, not trying to be a jerkI bought a pair of the Spike pedals about a month ago and then promptly rode them for a week in Colorado. You do have to be slightly cognizant of foot placement or you can catch the edge of the bearing bulge, but that pretty much was not an issue after the first day. I also noticed the flat body does feel a bit different than a concave body pedal at first, but again unnoticeable after a day of riding. I haven't had them long enough to comment on bearing or axle issues, but no problems thus far.
No problem. To me, when I see the terms flat or concave I am looking at the aluminum pedal body and not the pins. The pins do play a role as well, but it's mostly the body that is supporting your foot/shoe. The Spike body is flat, especially when compared to the Tioga MX Pro pedals I had before. On each, the pins are about the same diameter and height, but I could feel the difference. I did not install the two pins at the end of the axle on my Spike pedals to follow your train of thought and use the pins to shape the surface, but I'm not sure how much it matters. With 5.10 Impact shoes, I don't need the extra grip anyway.not trying to argue with you, but for anyone out there who hasnt seem them in person yet, they arent truly flat. maybe this pic will help.... the center pins are a bit lower. again, not trying to be a jerk
