niconj Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I bought them Nukeproof. Great pedals. Let's see how long they hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I suppose so. They are nice pedals but compared to the Nukeproof they aren't that good. Although... I managed to tear out 3 pins on mine already having ridden them only 4 times. The do make some damage though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Some of the later Neutrons didn't seem to have the pins locktited in or tightened in as well as others. Whenever I get a new set of platforms I do tend to check the pins on them just to make sure they're all good. Plus side I guess is you should be able to just tighten some new pins into those holes as they should theoretically still have the threads reasonably intact?

Paperclip Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I like the plastic pedals because of the nut and bolt setup it makes it harder to rip them out of the pedal that's for sure. They really are the nuts (and bolts). A couple came loose but a pretty easy fix. The cages also come loose every few rides which is nothing Danny Macaskill can't sort out for you.

LEON Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I ordered some DMR Vault Lacondeguy signature pedals today, I expect them to be excellent, and they better be for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Just read a review on CRC from some dude who bought those Lacon Vaults to fit to a hybrid, and said that they took him about 5 minutes to fit. Weird... I am kind of tempted to go back to V12s again. Quite liked them when I had them before, and they're ridiculously good value for money too. I do like the Electrons but there's something about them I'm not 100% sure about. Sometimes they feel mega grippy, but then on some other moves it feels like your foot can move around a little more than I'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Sure your getting them for their overkill looks over function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 That does remind me - wish they'd broached the V12s for an 8mm allen key rather than a 6mm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but think about the sweet shin dig clips you'd get while filming for your next video of yourself this summer which I am calling you out for right now.

LEON Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I've got the new V12s too and I do really like them, I do really like my Neutrons but they just feel too small, even if the studs are so long I can feel them in my feet. Rusevelt, have you seen the price of bog standard Vaults? There's not exactly much in it, and these have an even bigger platform which is what I need. There's the brendog versions too but who wants to pay £100 for matte black pedals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ripped them out of the pedal. Meaning the plastic is broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ah, cool - missed the post where you said you'd gone for them. With people talking about the Neutrons before I assumed you had those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk2 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Wellgo b80 in the past, now im running Hope FR20 they look cool and seem to last okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Look reasonable...the platform's a full 10mm longer than the Nukeproof and 4mm longer than V12s. I'm glad I don't do sidehops. Edited March 7, 2016 by LEON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Are they the standard length pins? They look pretty hefty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Yeah they're the standard ones! You can turn them around so you can have the long threaded end or the nut end on the other side, the middle ones that are stubby can't be flipped though as you can't get an allen key in the back. I agree on the 6mm and no spanner fitting though, it's a bit annoying, I don't think I own a 6mm long or strong enough for pedal worthy torque.

LEON Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Might have to tone down my V12 pins though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) A little bump here. I just bought some DMR Vaults. I have been riding the Nukeproof Electron Evo for quite a while now but they somehow don't feel so nice after all. I mean the grip is pretty damn good but it feels as the cage is too high in the middle where the axle is. I can feel it through my shoes.

AndyT Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Ran nukeproof for years- the neutron still lives on my vintage single speed bike. Last year went to race face Chester- a plastic pedal, lighter than nukeproof, and thinner / wider.. made for Canadian downhillers, this pedal is now on all my bikes- don't know if thy are avail in the U.K. But they are cheap and amazingly grippy, light and strong... cannot imagine having another pedal. Plus James B runs them now so get on the band wagon, said he crashed on a downhill course- hit a rock w his pedal, the crank got bent but the pedal was fine. wellgo mg1 needs to stay with the times of shit fsa power pro cranks, if you aren't a small child and have normal feet they are tiny tiny tiny.

I haven't ridden them yet but only standing on the bike they feel much more comfortable than my Nukeproof Electron Evo. Can't wait to go out and ride them.

LEON Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 New v12s feel great but Vaults a little bit better still, especially if you've got big feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
