says they’re: “…guaranteed for a year, but will probably last you
forever…” and “…they even more impact resistant than aluminium…”.
Clicking through to the testing page from the link above says they’ve been
tested on pedal grids (there’s some video of this available too) so it looks
like they might well do for pedal grabs. I mention this as I think it was
John Childs who posted a link to somewhere selling them online that
indicated otherwise. All is clear? Me thinks not. But the video and
guarantee makes me think it’d be worth giving them a shot… if I can get my
hands on a set in the UK that is.
Oh yeah - it also says “500g”. I’m assuming that this is for a set of pedals
and not each but that’s not a real huge saving given that Easton Cullys
are only 566g (my weight) / 530g (Easton weight). Magnesium Azonic Fusions
are only a touch over 500g. Just something to keep in mind before getting
too excited about this supposed featherweight pedal body. And yes, I do like
bursting small children’s balloons Preferably while they are watching
bwa-ah-ah!

Oh those pedals looks so good. Atomlab changed the design of the production pedals from what the pre-production Ballistic pedals looked like. Unreal Cycles has a pic of the pre-production pedals. <http://unrealcycles.com/items/atom-ballisticpedal.htm> Looks like the new design added more material and weight, but probably improved durability. The Unreal Cycles site warned that the pedals were not designed for grinds and such. But it looks like Atomlab has other ideas.
That bearingless design has me intrigued. Bearings are problematic for pedals that get abused on a unicycle. The bearingless design could prove very beneficial for unicycle use. Unicycles get dropped a lot on the ends of their pedals and that tends to make the bearings in the pedals fall apart. With no bearings in there, there will be nothing to fall apart.
Weightwise the Atomlab Aircorp pedals are also in the 500g range per pair. I haven’t put my Aircorps on a scale yet to verify the weight.
the prototypes look way better.you get 2 more pins now though.
the warranty also went down to 1 year instead of 2,"but they’ll probobly last forever"my foot.
beringz that dont need grease,give me a brake.this is hogwash.these pedals look cool but we are talking more bike tech fluff.whoever buys these is a sucker.unless its me because those pedalz will match my very rare Lexan Profile crank/hub combo
Note that it is the pedal BODY that carries the warranty- not the axel or b3r1ngz. Humm… look sweet… still, after a couple days on the trail… I nominate Neil to ‘take one for the team’ and pick up a set- let us know how they hold up. I’v been drooling over thos Azonic’s for some time… almost as much as that New York company with the Hamburger pedals.
For UK riders the first batch of Atomlab Ballistics are not due to reach our shores until August this year. The distributer advises the likely RRP will be £69.95
