jambo Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 They are grippy as hell with the right shoe, when i first got them i always used to ride in nike 6.0 skate shoes but they were slippery as hell on them so moved to a softer vans skate shoe and the are now awesome.

Mark W Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I could just buy the Rockman Cage when the Echo ones break. It should fit. They're about as different as it's really possible to make a 'standard' caged pedal - ain't gonna happen! Pedal Dimensions - Cage width (Widest point): 102mm - Cage length (Longest point): 92mm - Cage depth (Thinnest point): 13.5mm Pedal Dimensions - Cage width (Widest point): 100mm - Cage length (Longest point): 84mm - Cage depth (Thinnest point): 14mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannytrialskid Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 They're about as different as it's really possible to make a 'standard' caged pedal - ain't gonna happen! Mark, do you reckon I should get the Rockmans due to being able to buy the cage and obviously then not having to re-buy pedals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I don't really mind. I wouldn't buy either, but that's because I know how good the TR Platform pedals are. It's your money, it's your choice. The TRs are cheaper and a little stronger, the Rockman pedals are more expensive and a little weaker but are more replaceable in the long-term. It's up to you to weigh up the pros and cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannytrialskid Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I could buy the Rockman ones. When the cage brakes, I could buy the Try-All cage replacement, which is £2.50 cheaper, looks nicer, and is the same measurements. Rockman: Pedal Dimensions - Cage width (Widest point): 100mm - Cage length (Longest point): 84mm - Cage depth (Thinnest point): 14mm Try-All: Pedal Dimensions - Cage width (Widest point): 100mm - Cage length (Longest point): 84mm - Cage depth (Thinnest point): 14mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifiedridah2k9 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Get Echo TR platforms, good value, strong etc etc.. [/Thread] I agree... Except no offence ashes, but your wrong the cages on echo TR caged pedals is amazing! The teeth dont blunten (sp? lol) and the cages are hard to bend. Go for the cage for grip and shindigs or go for the echo platforms for grip but the paltforms are VERY grippy, and they possibly do shindig very bad.

isitafox Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've got a pair of belting 4" and 5" scars down the back of my calf from my foot slipping forward off some trialtech sport platforms. Will definately be going for some caged pedals next time to see how they compare and save a bit of weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to get the Rockman ones anyways, because then I can get the cage replacements. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=11272&category_id=149 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo!Man Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) I had the usual VP's, Try all and Trialtech (I think they're the same sh*t), and at the moment for the last three months I've been running the Tr caged. In my opinion, they are the perfect pedals: really comfortable, cheap, STRONG (the most important factor for me, as I was fed up with bending pedals), aesthetically nice with a lot of colours, and finally, they are very light. I would go for them 100% Edited September 3, 2010 by Zoo!Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right, but if you bend the Rockman ones (thing waaay possible, as Mark said they're weaker than the Tr ones), and you buy a new cage for them, you're spending 75 pounds (pedals you bought + new cages); if you bend the Tr ones (IMO that's quite quite improbable bearing in mind what I said before), you CAN buy other whole new Tr ones, and you'd be spending 70 pounds( new pedals + new pedals). So it's even cheaper buying a couple of Tr than a Rockman and fixing it. Hope this helps you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with echo ones they never do bend or crack... well not very many of them do and the echo ones... is it really stupid how the try-all super light pedals or something are like £80 but the echo ones are £35 and only 6 grams heavier? Unless your a real, and i mean REAL weight freak, whats the point in spending 40 quid for 6 grams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob. Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Very yer ....... I like that they have a range of colours though Ashes. Yeah how can you say a they have shit grip when you have never had a pair like someone stated above. I know a few people who run these and are very happy with the way they perform.

isitafox Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Although you could get the rockmans and get a replacement try all superlight cage, which would only cost you £67.50 in the longrun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
