What Pedals?

If you snapped a trialtech, you need to stop going to pedal so hard! I've had mine 6 months and not even knocked a pin out.

If you want strength and weight doesn't bother you, I'd get DMR V8s, I had a set once, they're incredibly strong.

Ive got a set of Tioga surefoot MX pros and I would recommend them to any one. They are the grippiest pedals Ive ever used!

And they are only around 100g heavier than the trialtechs you've got now :)

Link!!

The only difference between mine and the ones pictured in the link is that Ive filled all the pin holes, so they look rather lethal. :shifty:

i just snaped my trial-tech magnesium pedal

so i need a new pair

want something strong but also light :D

To be honest trialtech sport pedals suck really badly I broke mine doing a flatland bunny hop and I only weigh 150 lbs. I have also broken a set of magnesium wellgos. The truth is you can't have a pedal under 400 grams that is strong enough for riders who go at it all day long. The inspired looks like a good choice upgrade, the ones I bought are the macniel face pedals (in the links below)

Had them 5 or 6 months not a single problem with them. Basically just make sure what you buy is aluminum, magnesium is too weak for anything plastic is actually much stronger than magnesium. If you are not too concerned about grip than you could also buy plastic pedals, they are lighter than aluminum and almost as strong.

Here are some good plastic pedals

416 grams http://www.danscomp.com/465074.php?cat=PARTS

400 grams http://www.danscomp.com/465237.php?cat=PARTS

374 grams http://www.danscomp.com/465091.php?cat=PARTS

Here are some good aluminum ones

471 grams http://www.danscomp.com/465255.php?cat=PARTS

439 grams http://www.danscomp.com/465076.php?cat=PARTS

I'm rolling on Wellgo ti-mags and I 'go at it all day long', and yet they're still in once piece after 6 months.

really? lucky I broke mine after about 4. I was going about 1kmph and jumped off the side of my bike dropping the bike from 0feet high and when the pedal hit the ground it broke. The wellgos are slightly stronger than the trialtech though.

They're the same thing :S

I think they might be fairly brittle, so riding along and dropping your bike on the floor probably isn't the best idea.

so your telling me you have never accidently dropped your bike on its side? What about when you ride a skinny and fall off one end? You must let go of your bike sometimes.
