e-thirteen flat pedals availability
- Thread starter Intenseman
- Start date
I'm ready to order too.
what, no reflectors? Those things don't look very safe to me. I'd get nice safe pedals with bright shiny reflectors if I were you.
How 'bout the stem also?
I emailed them a while back and was told that the release would be delayed because they changed some of the materials.
I'm awaiting their release, too. I talked to John P. at Mount Snow and if I remember correctly, I think he said they were still in the prototype stages but looking to wrap things up soon. I guess it'll be later than Spring. 
the site said spring for the Sovereign too! What's goin on there?
i have asked numourous people and they said it won't be out until fall. i was bummed out cuz i wanted them for my evil and ended up getting some black DKs. hopefully by the time i kick the crap out of the DKs i can get some e13 pedals...
these things will be worth the wait, they look crazy and have what sounds like some amazing internals! As dave said before the production ones look a bit different from that picture posted above.

those pedals look sweet...i want some. anyone know retail price?
hey guys-
Glad to hear everyone's so psyched about the new stuff we've got coming down the pipe. Sometimes it takes us longer than we'd like to release new products, and there are a few factors at work here:
1. We want our stuff to be PERFECT when it is released to the public, and to this end, we spend an insane amount of time on R&D and making sure our manufacturing process is dialed in to be as efficient as possible.
2. We strive to design products that are completely original, and starting from scratch takes time. For example, no one in the world was making chainguides with polycarb. bashrings when we started (quite a different story today), so it took a while to iron out some of the bugs that are associated with something that revolutionary. You'll see the same radical departure from the status quo with our new products, and delays are common with this kind of originality.
3. We've been absolutely buried with the popularity of our guides and rings, and we spend a ton of time just keeping up with demand of those products. To keep prices affordable, we maintain a staff that's small, very hard-working, and efficient, but sometimes we get blind-sided by these huge orders that come in out of the blue, and that knocks development of new products back a bit. On top of that, we just moved to a much larger office about a month ago, and although it was necessary due to our growth, it added another delay to development.
Now, to answer your questions about specific products:
Pedals - The protos we've been testing have been performing great, but we have really tried to up the ante with the production version. I can't get into too much detail, but expect something with tons of grip and internals that last a very long time. There is a lot of proprietery stuff going on with these babies, and prototyping some of this stuff costs major bucks.
Stems - We've got a few protos of these kicking around, and they're working out great too. What most people don't realize is that stems are a lot more complicated project than they appear to be. I'll leave it at that . . .
Sovereigns - The tubes landed in the USA (from Reynolds, which is in the UK) last week. We also finalized color choices last week, and we'll have production samples shortly.
I guess that's all for now.

nice, sounds like all burners are in service on the evil range.
fwiw, i agree w/ the delay - why deal w/ rushing something out there if it's not quite ready, and then get deluged w/ RAs and bad press when something f's up?

Maybe by the time they come out i'll have the money for them 
nice analogy above, tim. 
"all burners on the range." heh
