Yeah I’m not a fan of the cage pedals. The nylon pedals shouldn’t be a problem in wet weather since the steel pins would supply all the grip you need.
DMR V12’s are very good pedels for what they cost, get the chromed version because it doesn’t chip while the anodized paint wears of and is chipped of, personally i do not like mag bodies on peddles because it is dented and cracked easily.
the DMR V8’s are great if your limited by money, and have a great way of re greasing the baring’s, just inject fresh grease in through a hole in the body, and it pushes the old grease out of the seals.
they look nice but at 536g, they are much heavier than I want to go.
hmm ive rode with pedals just like that before and in wet weather the pins do just fine but once mud gets caked on there its a pain to get off
pretty much best pedals for muni would be the pedals that turtle put to use a couple pages back… when i was riding at Elsbet this year the only peoples pedals that didnt clog up with mud were that style. haha you could clean your shoes with those pedals and the mud would fall right through them.
Animals and Odyssey Twisted PC are ~400gms. I wouldn’t mind having these pedals with a lighter spindle, but I think they’re designed as disposable being as the bearing are not sealed and the pins are no replaceable.
The nylon pedals that Terry found are pretty nice, but they have metal pins.
I for one do not like metal pinned pedals. I have had terrible pedal bite from metal pinned pedals on my ankle, calves, shins, even arms and torso, but since switching to hylon pinned pedals I have had nothing more than a scratch.
I ride with Five Ten shoes, wet and dry, no slippage issues.
My pedal bite days are over, since switching to nylon pinned pedals I no longer need to wear leg armor, so I’m cooler in the summer, less bulky in the winter, such a nice feeling to be free of unnecessary gear.
320 gm, $50, sealed bearing, thin, wide, long nylon pins
I bought the Answer Rove FR on Chain Reaction Cycle about two weeks ago, I currently ride them on my trials uni but I think they would be pretty amazing for Muni also. They have the same pins as Echo TR pedals (really strong pins and really really grippy), it’s a big platform, light (around 445g) and they seem pretty strong! I’m going pretty big on my trials and so far, no problemo with my pedals! 
My favorite are the
(metal) for MUni. These things really take A LOT of punishment and keep on working. I’ve had them on my KH24 for over 4 years now and they are still going strong. Sure they’re a bit heavier and the metal pins may be “dangerous”, but they last forever and provide awesome grip. Perhaps I’ll try some nylon/metal pedals when these things die. I wear the leg armor for more reasons than just pedal bites so really no need to change my style.
I like low profile pedals. I think they have a better ‘feel’ than the taller options out there especially in steep and technical climbs. Previously I have used Snafu’s, jim C’s, Wellgo Mg-1s and most recently the Impact Knockout pedals. The Mg1s were nice but very tall compared to the Impacts, they also did not have quite as large platform, or as many pins. After a solid year of use and literally thousands of Kms use on my 24" Gmuni they are as good as the day I got them. Just remember to treat your pedals to some nice new grease every 6 months or so to keep them happy and running like new.
@nurseben- I’d be wary of those nylon pedals you linked to. Even the guy that reviewed them said the pins wear off pretty quickly.

Just ordered some Mesas to replace my broken PC’s, will post a review once I get some ride time, 320gm, that’s 100gm less than my PC’s
Of course it’s three times the price…
Napalm, I saw that comment, not too worried, he also said that they seemed durable and he’d have them for a long time. I’m sure the pin wear is no more or less than any other nylon pedal, so I expect to get a season or two of hard riding, then I’ll retire them to my 36er, one of the bikes, or a training uni…
It’s worth paying the price for fast wear rates to keep my skin intact
If money is no object, THESE are the most awesome pedals I’ve seen yet! only 265g for the pair and super wide foot area. Sealed bearing never need lubrication. Watch the video about them at the lower part of the page. I might just get a pair…but not at Sears! They sell them for $432 a pair!

i had two different pairs of titanium pedals, both of them broke! thats sucks really, when you’re on a tour and you’ve to walk down all the way down only because of a pedal (and they cost me alot…).
like ben said, for XC and easy muni, nylon pins an the five ten is a very good option, but for real muni with also hiking some difficult party i’ll always need a good hiking boot and they are going only with a good cage pedal like the aliens! ride them always on my muni: perfect when it’s dry, wet, muddy, they hold my shoe perfectly!
(this sundy i’ll participate the CAIdom, a downhill marathon with 2000m of vertical downhill, the weatherforecast says it will rain, perfect conditions for those pedals and shoes)
@MuniAddict: I thought about buying the Twenty6 pedals but when I saw them IRL the platform area was smaller than most of the other DH style pedals. The pair I saw were not the current model so they might have changed. Just something to be aware of.
You ever wonder why more parts aren’t made from titanium? I’m betting you though it was the materials cost, nope.
When I was having my custom ti frame built, I talked to the builder about material costs and he said that Ti and SS were the same price.
So then, after some frame issues related to Ti, such as flexing and cracking welds, and then a broken Ti hub, I finally figured out why Ti is not used as often as aluminum or steel: it’s fragile.
$400 for a Ti hub or $400 for Ti pedals, they really equal the same thing:
A lot of money for something that will not last very long 
I’ve always had good experiences with mag pedals. From all the user reviews I’ve read, (some here) there’s one mag pedal that stands out above all others. The Wellgo MG-1. Great price, fantastic grip, large foot area, sealed bearing, extremely well made and at only 12oz. per pair, they are LIGHT! I got a great price on a pair for $38! They’re typically in the $60-90 range, depending on where you buy them, and if you catch them on sale. Many sellers sell out of these fast.
Terry, those are nice pedals, makes me wonder about how much traction I could get with a machine head SS screw in place of those studs or maybe a nylon threaded screw…
Mmmm, I smell pizza, sorry, gotta run,. lunch is calling
No need to change the traction pins; the MG-1’s are as grippy as you’ll ever need, short of clipping it!
Just got another new pair of pedals, in addition to my new wellgo MG-1’s that I really like. These new (sealed bearings) pedals are Xpedo Hurtles and they’re super grippy, light, thin and have a nice wide foot area. I also like the look.
that is super sick!!!
