I would like to change pedals...and the e-thirteen models won't be available intil "Interbike"...on october

Someone have infos about Easton "Cully" pedals ?

Thanks

I have had them on my bike for 3 years and love em I like the low profile and they get great grip....but beware the pins are very skinny and bend easy so make sure you stop by a hardware store and get a small bag full.... I would buy them again in a heartbeat...

That is the exact same pedal as the Kona Jack ****. Not close but exact.

yeah, the pins do bend really easily. they're super grippy though and low profile. i've had a pair for a few years and never had any trouble. one thing i really like is that they don't spin as easily as a lot of pedals, they stay really stable. they don't wiggle around under your foot.
the only downside is that sometimes you'll get your foot in the wrong position and it's kinda hard to reposition it because the pins really dig into your shoes. to change your foot position your have to take your foot off the pedal, you can't just slide it around. but that's a good thing, imo

they are awesome, but the needle bearings on my took a trip to the ****ter.

i dont ususally break stuff either...but, they are still aweoms pedals. i packed the bearings full of grease and kept on riding. they still work just fine.

PS....forget about adjusting the pins once they have been smashed up and ridden on. those cute little allen key holes in the top of the pins work like...well, they dont. then again, you really dont need to move, replace or adjust them.

killed a few pairs....toasted the bearings! I have a pair on my DJ bike that are still going strong, but I don't hit rocks with those

ok, but no pedals are indestructible

Ummm.... no. Not close at all. In my experience, Kona pedals have semi-crappy bearings, and they're really tall too. And they have reflector mounts. Nice try though. I know the "all platform pedals look similar so they all must be identical" argument sounds pretty good at times, but it's rarely applicable.

Yeah, Easton pedals are nothing like Kona's...

I don't have the Cully's, but I have been using a pair of Flatboys for about 2 years with no problems. You do have to be careful with the pins, don't let them get ground all the way down into the pedals or they'll be hard to get out to replace. Also, you should keep an eye on the bearings, but this is pretty easy to do, and I've never had a problem with mine. So, they're expensive, but I think they're worth it.

 

[Smelly]

don't worry about destroying the pins. you can just get them out with pliers.

 

[Intenseman]

...or use other pins with these pedals, like Woodman Spikes Comp

damn, those are hot!

You prefer these pins ??(Woodman Spikes) ...use only with Shins guards neaky:

 

[S.G.D]

those pins would really be a good investement for the Cully's

aside from the bearings, the pins are the only weakness.

I have Easton Flatboys and have not had good luck with them, I broke my collarbone about a week ago as a direct result of the pedal bearing failing.

Yeah man i had the same problem, they rock but once you put your foot down it is there to stay. Could be an advantage but i like to move my feet and correct a little while riding. to add to the problem i was riding intense shoes, basically it turns your setup into clipless cant move (must pick up foot and reposition)...But again that could be good for some people.

Heh. Um, so what you're saying is that fully 50% of the pedal's pieces (spindle, bearings, body, and pins) aren't up to snuff.

Then what makes these worth $100+?

If the pedals have the same bearing failure rate as any other set of pedals, and the pins that come with them just aren't that good, then IMO, save yourself $60 and buy a set of some cheaper pedals. Then you can put your fancy pins in those and spend the money you saved on some post-ride beer

 

[Leethal]

Yep go to danscomp.com and get those sealed bearing Poverty pedals for $29

There isn't anything fancy about those you know. Both are simply track and field sprint spikes (err actually distance spikes to be precise). You can get them in ceramic if you are REALLY worried about weight. You can get them from 3mm to 9mm, in varying shapes and widths for indoor, outdoor, distance, jumping etc.

"DESCRIPTION:
Ultra lite ceramic track spikes manufactured by Omni lite industries,Canada.These track spikes help extend the life of the track and reduce injuries caused when a runner is accidentlally spiked.Ceramic material is 1/3 the weight of steel."

These are the thin 7mm sprint variety, in steel.

Holy OUCH!

You'd probably get stuck if you ever hit a log with those babies
