1. Weights are for a pair of pedals in grams.
2. Different site's listed weights for the same pedals were close.
Say about 10 g+-
3. sb and lb means sealed bearing and loose bearing

Could it be just that they are 8$, that no one tries them? This company has an extensive range of pedals, some even lighter ! They have invested in this.
The JC alum lb pedal is now stock on the 20 " KH. Is this boosting it’s popularity in a way that it’s 730 gram physics could not ?
It is evident that someone learning crank flips or uni spins would benefit from a light set of pedals. Some comment how much better light pedals feel on their steel rimmed Cokers! Many seem quite sure they love their 411 gram odyssey twisted plastics. Is this because they are the best plastic pedal ? Or because they are a featured value product at UDC ? Many claim they are better feeling than heavier pedals, and durable enough for the price. I think they know what they are feeling.
Could 8 $ be to low for the lightest pedal to sell well? The weight difference between 12 $ 411 gram twisted pc’s and 8 $ 330 gram dimension’s is the same as one saves by adding a 100 $ pair of Ti axles to a set of DMK mags!!!
To top the deal off, no one thinks of adding 70 gram pedal protectors to their 330 gram dimensions. 8 $ is all the protection you could want.
Anyway, I have never tried them. Have any of you?
One more to add to the weight-weenie arsenal - I’ve recently put lightweight rat-trap type pedals on my coker. They are smaller and less grippy than pinned platforms, but with my plastic toe-cup things (about 90g for the pair) they are comfy enough for me. They also have about 1cm less q-factor each than normal platforms (making my shoes very close to the cranks, but with slim, figure-hugging shoes (rather than skater shoes) this is fine). They have very smooth, sealed bearings.
To make the toe-cups stick far enough forward to get the ball of my foot on the axle I have put a 1cm block of wood (weight negligible) between them and the pedal.
Just joking on the name LOL . Those pedals look a lot like these http://aebike.com/page.cfm?PageID=30&action=details&sku=PD1091
Do you think they are the same thing ? You like them ? and for how long ?
At 270 grams, you are a true weight weenie.Can you get into a Mc Donalds riding that thing ?
They seem to be the same concept, only a different brand. The VP ones have a little tag to help with flipping them over into toe-clips, and allen-bolts rather than screws holding the cage.
I like them so far. They do feel less ‘big and solid’ than platforms (I had standard wellgo platforms before), and they are boring black rather than ‘go-faster red’, but I like them. They are very grippy if I wear the right shoes - snug in to the toeclips and the right part of the tread - it feels just as good a contact as clipless cleated shoes do. It’s a slightly better feeling of snug contact and being able to pull through the whole pedal stroke than using toe-clips on platforms had.
I’ve only had them on for over a week, but done a good few hours on and off-road with them now. As my 36er is currently set for muni with 152mm cranks and softer tyre pressure I can’t really compare with ‘fast efficient spinning’ until I go back to road-mode after the Mountain Mayhem 24hr event.
I think they feel lighter, though it’s hard to say, as they feel different too. But near halving the weight of the pedals (was 660g, now 350g) can’t be a bad thing!
Hmmm. I have some of those sitting around that I meant to put on the coker, but didn’t get round to what with being away. Maybe I’ll pop them on the Schlumpf and have a go.
Would you trust them for proper muni rides, or do you think toeclips are only for cokers?
I don’t think toeclips are worth bothering with for real muni, as it’s too much faff getting into them if you are doing bumpy stuff, and weight saving isn’t as important.
I don’t usually worry about getting stuck in them, even in UPDs.
I’d just go for pinned platforms except for cokering.
alright, I know this is an older thread, but I found some LIGHT pedals on fleabay. Wellgo MG-1 with Ti spindles, 298g a pair, $116 usd with $15 shipping to anywhere. linky
OK, so html was screwy, what option should I have checked ?
