Started the boy out on wellgo mg1s, he's now on the plastic nuke proofs. I'd suggest going straight to the nukes. But both are good, and are a little more forgiving on the shins.I want to get some better pedals than what have come on my daughters XTC24. I was thinking DMR V6s, but I'm wondering if the platform might be a bit big. She's between a US4 and 5. What are peeps doing here for good flats for the kiddies?
The NPs would be the same platform size as the DMRs no?Started the boy out on wellgo mg1s, he's now on the plastic nuke proofs. I'd suggest going straight to the nukes. But both are good, and are a little more forgiving on the shins.
Are they that colour? As much as I really appreciate the generous offer I have a little tomboy and if they even slightly resemble pink it's a no go....if you're interested i've got some of these hardly used.
pay for postage and they're yours.
haha yeah they are pink.Are they that colour? As much as I really appreciate the generous offer I have a little tomboy and if they even slightly resemble pink it's a no go....
LOL. Blue is her idea of pink. Thanks for the offer though.haha yeah they are pink.
had them on a ex's bmx when i lived in melbs and yeah they never got used.
My daughter hates pink and loves blue too......... luv her reaction when someone hits her with "and it's pink too!!!!" hahaAre they that colour? As much as I really appreciate the generous offer I have a little tomboy and if they even slightly resemble pink it's a no go....
And I just put in a CRC order too. But I'm still thinking plastic.Wellgo M138's are great for kids. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/au/en/wellgo-cnc-m138-flat-pedals/rp-prod52882
Pedals such as the v6 have a few flaws that make for a short term pedal. In particular in the wet grip is severely reduced, the pins also wear down a bit fast. Follow the advice of others and chase the plastic with real pins. While there is an increased opportunity for leg cuts on pedal pins, the likelihood is reduced by decent traction and reliability. Also the additional of sealed bearings makes for a longer life span.I want to get some better pedals than what have come on my daughters XTC24.

I started with the spry. Both sets crapped out after about 8 months, and there was no way you could undo the bolt to service them without or rounding straight out. Haven't had the same issue with the mg5's.Xpedo Spry off eBay. Very light - about 250grams a pair...forgiving pins. I have 3 sets, oldest about 4 years still going strong.
Fire Eye gear is what Funn used to be. Not a compliment. Funn have really picked up their game.Pedals such as the v6 have a few flaws that make for a short term pedal.

Personally I rock the fire eye candy, a bit cheaper than the nuke proof:

But the outer nut that secures the body can come loose a little if the pedals are knocked about.
