I run Jetblack flat pedals and they feel great, not to expensive either

 

[Chuck401]

straightline pedals are so good but they have a big price tag

 

[AcTioN13]

another tick for the jetblack flats.

 

[Gravity Addict]

Funn

Funn Viper pedals are the go i run them on all my bikes

 

[Scott101]

Straitline

I just got a set of straitline also.... very nice pedals.... for my glory $140 from crc

Expensive

also have a look at Kona Wah Wah Pedals. I have these on my Sunday. $120 from tbsm

these 2 are the best pedals by far i have ever used.


Good selection here http://tbsm.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=149_153_230_245&sort=20a&alpha_filter_id=4&page=1

I have some KORE pedals on my DH hardtail that are pretty ace.

Funn Soljam

They're heavy and thick but they grip better than any other pedal I've used with a pair of 5.10's. Around $80 from CRC and heaps of colours, only way to go.

Soljam

Yep, funn soljam are all I use. Massive platform, massive pins. Can't go wrong with that. Did find that once the pins broke off you pretty much couldn't screw replacements in but I got a whole year out of my last set all the same so that's pretty good going I reckon

FUNN Vipers, they are on sale for an absolute steal at the moment at TBSM.

kona wah wah flats. top deal, top grip

DMR V8, any of the Bilt pedals from DH Direct if he has any in stock.

Avoid Crank Bros 5050.

Also, don't overlook BMX pedals. I've had good experiences with Shadow Conspiracy Nostra flat pedals and even Colony Fantastic Plastic.

 

[mitchy-b]

yes the jetblack flats are sick! and the straightlines look the goods but pricey....what are dmr v8 or v12's like?

Heaps and heaps of good options out there.

Im currently using some of the Ti Superstar Ultra Mag pedals w/ Straitline pins (the standard pins wern't long enough). 310g for the pair.

However i used a pair of Ciari BMX pedals for ages. I hammered those things into rocks a million times and actually still have them as my spare set as there still running as good as the day i bought them. Very good bearings, still super smooth & not one bit of play after 2yrs hard riding. Chunky strong body (definitely not the lightest) but plain simple reliability for a pretty cheap price.

Think they cost me about $60-70au from Phantom Cycles at the time?

There's a way around this, a mate does this thing where punches in bigger pins/screws/something alike I think. I've ridden his custom soljams, they grip better than the normal ones with the bigger pins and don't come out as easily

 

[birdman]

why avoid 5050's, ive run mine for 2 years riding and racing hardtail downhill and another six months on my dually and they dont look like giving up anytime soon

Crap grip in the wet, heavy in comparison to many other competitors...

Pretty sure it's a universal sizing.
