Didnt pay $250 for this custom title
Looks like the work experience kid put the fork together backwards and they just went with it

Composite aren’t necessarily lighter. I like that you can scratch them up and it doesn’t show.Thanks all, I must admit I didn't even consider composites, was only looking at alloy.
I do like the look of the deity deftraps and seem a reasonable weight and price too. Will take a closer look at some of the other recommended composites as well
These are probably a better fit for me as a trail rider, don't think I need super heavy DH pedals.

I think they did say it was instigated by the intern so you’re probably on the money.
Ha, this is even better, freewheel in cranks so you still shift without pedalling. You need to lock the cassette for it to work. The solution a zip tie between spokes and cassette! Boom...
Intend adds a freewheel to their cranks, letting you shift without pedaling
Need to shift gears while bombing down the trail or flowing through rock gardens, but can't pedal at the moment? Intend has just the solution.

I’ve never felt an inverted fork that didn’t have heaps of twist flex. Granted it’s been a while, but lack of arch surely means it’s still an issue?

Some things die for a reason..... Maybe Indent should just change their already silly name to 'Contrary'

...what size is your foot? Is it wide or narrow?
Personal preference is going to come into it as well.
Must have is:
- replaceable pins
- sealed bearings or quality bushing system
- good surface area relevant to your foot shape.
Personal preferences include:
- concave vs convex
- number of pins
- shape (I like the square-ish)
- profile depth (how slim?)
- distance between platform and crank arm (this might impact Q factor)
- colour

What brought that on? I'm running composites on all my bikes. Oh wait I bent one recently...anyway I am all about longevity at the moment.

I don’t understand the question.
You’re talking about $25 eBay pedals you bent. That was irrelevant of pedal body material.
I was talking about NP pedals particularly.
My racing and gravity preference for an alloy pedal is more about my preference for DMR vaults and the big pins I run in them. I’ll likely try v11’s next and probably race on them.
Felix races composites for enduro. Burgtec m4’s. A fine pedal.

Nah, I've got the nukeproof neutrons on most of my bikes and blackspire nylotrax on another. I'd love more of the blackspire they are a very comfortable pedal, but supply issues. The rock bros were a moment of curiosity because they were cheap and have a reasonably large platform.
the longer version of the question might be, you were a vocal advocate of fantastic plastic pedals for quite a while, is there any particular reason (like repeated failure of pedal integrity) that you have moved away from the plastic?

Wrong thread but #1 for Burgtecs. The metal ones are grippy, comfortable, well made and completely indestructible.
The newer Mk5s have a bit of a wider platform too if that's your jam.

I'm only a US 11 so most of the common options will be fine. I am a little worried about pedal strike, being used to SPD's
