Crank Brothers Mallet DH

[BizL]

Hey Gang,

Has anyone had much experience with the crank bros mallet dh's? I used to ride the old red shimano DX spd's back when i was a lad and am wonder what would be a good equivalent to them these days. I quite like to look of the Mallet DH.
At the moment I am riding flats.

Cheers
Greg

Hey greg

I run shimano and love them ! Not a fan of crabk brother things as some mates have tried there stuff and It didn't seem as durable as shimano stuff but that's just my opinion tho

But there is pros and cons for all !

Cheers man,
I'm pretty comfy on the flats at the moment so i think i'l stay like that for a while.
They kinda suit the riding im doing anyways.

I've had both and like the mallet better. super durable and easy to clip on under any conditions mud dirt dust etc. Also a lot more float than shimano so won't unclip during awkward descents. have crashed a few times and they release as easily as shimano.
