ROCKBROS Mountain Bike Pedals MTB Pedals Bicycle Flat Pedals Aluminum 9/16" Sealed Bearing Lightweight Platform for Road Mountain BMX MTB Bike

So as we all know, stock pedals are just there so you can ride your bike home. 😉 I was considering purchasing red Deity pedals since I have orange ones on my Mukluk, but I had some concerns which I will address below. TL;DR: Light weight & solid; Gorgeous-looking color and design; Pins give fantastic grip w/MTB shoes and don't scrape up the legs; To start, I wasn't necessarily looking for aluminum pedals, but I wanted something that looked good with my red accents. I happened upon these because I REALLY wanted something that wasn't "boxy-looking" -- concern 1. Concern 2, I wanted good pins to grip my shoes, but I didn't want to gouge my calves every time the pedals brush up against them. The pins on these are absolutely perfect! They are slightly rounded on the edges, and my feet are firmly in place and never slide around, even when I get wet or muddy. As a note, I have 5 Ten Freerider MTB shoes. As for the looks, they are absolutely gorgeous!! The red pedals with the chrome pins looks so sharp - not that people see that when you're riding, but hey, it's the little things right? Also, the fact that they are a bit tapered at the ends is exactly what I was looking for (concern 3). And the aluminum aspect of it I think is awesome. They're lighter than my expensive-ish nylon pedals on my Mukluk. Now there is one thing I do want to mention, and I do not know if this is a good or bad thing: I am not a gearhead or anything, but with these pedals I do notice that they don't spin very freely. By that, I mean for example, when you try to make 'em spin by slapping one side or by using your garden hose when you're washing it, they don't spin much. I do know enough about bearings to know if they are loose or too tight, and they feel just fine. I definitely don't notice it at all when I'm riding, however I did want to mention that. I truly love these pedals a ton, and I plan on getting another pair for my next full-suspension MTB!! 😎

The pedals arrived quickly and were very easy to install. The are solidly built and have a good "heft" to them. I purchased them for the purpose of having more contact surface with the pedal, as well as the metal studs that provide excellent traction between pedal and foot. I would purchase them again, but I'm sure I will not have to.

Great pedals- Light, smooth, and good grip

These pedals are solid for the price. While they are nice and light compared to composite or factory pedals, they leave something to be desired. The E-Torx studs don't provide as much grip as the threaded type you usually see. Also, the area is a good amount smaller than other pedals I've used, including the factory ones I used these to replace. They function pretty well so far

Excellent pedals, sleek design. Holding up real well.

These pedals are solid, offer great stability and have a silent bearing operation.

Sturdy and looks good. Easy installation, I just need to get used to not being on clip less pedals

Good Quality Titanium Pedals. Easy install. Nice metal on the insert screw part. Does not shave away or strip easily. Awesome rides! Better than any default pedals. An upgrade.
