I think there are a lot of fans of the Tiogas, myself included. A common complaint is that the pins frequently rip out of the pedal and damage the threads. It looks like the ones pictured have purpose made pins instead of the set screws that came on mine. I doubt that would change any thing but, maybe they have updated the alloy of the body as well?You showed me really nice pedals.
The Atomlab looks great but some of you had bad problems with them...
so the Easton Flatboy could be a good option.
but i noticed also those pedals:
Tioga Surefoot MX.
What do you think Easton or Tioga?
i just got the aircorps and had the retaining c-clip pop in the parkinglot pre-ride and the pedal body came clean off the spindle. i thought they fixed that issue. time for me to get a new pair.
I have two pair; one old style with a nut, one new style with the c-clip.All you guys recommending the aircorps: Are you having to constantly readjust the tension on those things?
I stuck some on my dirtjumper and they keep coming loose.
That's interesting, because the original lo-pro mag had just one bushing and one bearing, and they developed play all the time too. Seems like a running issue with them, for various reasons each revision I guess.Aye... Beware of the lo-pro bearings. They run off a 4 bearing system I do believe. Two needle, and two standard on the outboard of the axle. The only problem with this setup, is needle bearings WILL develope some place over time. I rode mine all summer and as of now, they have developed enough play to be noticeable. But, even if the bearing do blow, the pedal wont come flying off the axle/cause any catastrophic failure.
most of the static i heard was regarding durability. nobody felt that the grip was poor or that the things fell apart while riding (*cough*atomlab*cough*). however, they felt the quality wasn't up to snuff for riding in the wet PNW, taking the abuse of the stunt riddled trails they hit. they said that for the price, they felt the internals should have lasted longers. most seemed to favor cheaper "disposable" pedals.did they have negatives?
what were they?
i just want to know for personal gain...
I had the Steps for a bit didn't like them, my foot just felt uncomfortable the whole time like I had to keep adjusting..what about Transition Stepdowns? theyre only $60 and personally, i think that they would work great...i'm not sure how tall they are but they seem like they would be nice in really any situation...
now, ive never had experience on these pedals, but plan on buying them to complete my new rig... i just wanted to chime in a new opinion...
**i like those Tiogas though**(new pins personally)
interesting, that sways me away from them...most of the static i heard was regarding durability. nobody felt that the grip was poor or that the things fell apart while riding (*cough*atomlab*cough*). however, they felt the quality wasn't up to snuff for riding in the wet PNW, taking the abuse of the stunt riddled trails they hit. they said that for the price, they felt the internals should have lasted longers. most seemed to favor cheaper "disposable" pedals.
Large, really low profile, grippy, reasonably light, well made, and cheap. I bet if they didn't have the Kona label they'd be the most popular pedals outGet some Kona Wah-wahs. The pedal body is basically the same as Aircorps, but they have a proper sealed bearing system so they won't crap out after a week of riding. They're also less than half the price, and lighter (478g).
I've had them for a couple of weeks and I'm pretty impressed with them. Just as grippy as the Atomlabs (e.g very grippy), platform is just as wide and low profile. Pins screw in from the back aswell so no hassle trying to replace damaged pins etc. Only complaint (well hardly a complaint) is that the pins are quite thin and sharp so they'll eat up your shins if you slip a pedal.
I had some of the 07 Aircorp slim-lines for about 6 months. After about a week of riding on them (in the summer and not being very hard on them) they started having a noticeable amount of play on the axle and making bloody annoying creaking and cracking noises. Both circlips also snapped so the pedal body fell right off the spindle (although next years ones have a bolt as opposed to a circlip holding them on). Took them back to get fixed but another week later and they're back to how they were before.
those do look good. hmmmm...Large, really low profile, grippy, reasonably light, well made, and cheap. I bet if they didn't have the Kona label they'd be the most popular pedals out
werd...I used to like them until I started bending the axles. I got a full box of bent ones at home lthumbsdown: some of which I bent within the first ride.those tiogas pictured on page 3 SUCK...someone gave me a pair and besides generally sucking, I bent them in about 8 minutes.
Heres that combo locked in and leaned over, bars dragging dirt. I noticed here that the flat pedal riders stayed on their pedals more than the spd riders who almost all took foot out on this turn. Anyone guess the location?Crank Brothers 5050 XX:

i second that!!!! no more spam until you got some purchasable products DOODStop posting your pedals till you have some for sale man. I want them and can't get them and every time I go on here to try and decide what my next pedals are there you go posting your pedals again and wrecking my hope-o-meter.
Yeah but you probably dont want to hear themany opinion about Truvativ pedals?
