Very grippy and quality pedals

Very grippy and quality pedals these are the best flat pedals I have ever used, I've used them for about 100 miles they continue to offer great grip and a smooth ride. The ride feels very solid and reliable so I would highly recommend the pedals to any rider

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Big, light pedals on a budget

Considering the price, I decided to try this pair of alloy pedals. Item well packaged with detailed instructions and extra pins. The platform is surprisingly large compared to other pedals I've owned, which is what I'd expect from a good flat pedal. The weight is about average for an aluminum pedal, but good enough at 342 grams. But what can you complain about for half the price of top branded pedals.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Problems

Outstanding product.

I mounted them on my road bike and replaced the SpeedPlay Zero. I ride long and hard and have been using SpeedPlay for many years without incident. However, I am now 69 years old and have decided that cycling might not be safe for me if I fall. These pedals paired with a good pair of 5/10 shoes work great on a road bike. Feet stay where you put them and I was pleased that my 20-30 mile rides suffered little in terms of speed and time. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Repair

Great pedals! Best in Parts & Components

Just returned to mountain biking after almost a 20 year hiatus. So, as a revived newbie, I can say these pedals are great. They were easy to assemble and the build quality is fantastic. I weigh 285 pounds and can easily put all my weight on one pedal. They are also very tangible; From a beginner's point of view, that's great. Not once did I feel my feet slipping which makes me feel a lot more confident on my new bike. This is a great product that I recommend to everyone. Thank you Solodrive!

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Damaged

Solid metal pedal for little money

For the price of an aluminum pedal this is a great product with no real flaws. The only problem was that my pedals didn't have the blue ring in the picture. It doesn't affect performance, but I liked the way it looked. I have a blue bike and thought it would go well with it. and had to remove a star due to incorrect information. I also find that I prefer a slightly concave pedal profile while this one is flat. almost seems to bulge due to its thinness, making the spindle appear more under yourโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Haven't really had the chance to drive properly yet, the last 2 days have been 40 seconds with snow. Although they appear to be made of quality materials, they are lightweight and look very nice. I think they were very easy to install using a 6mm hex and each side is clearly marked. The limited time I have ridden them, only in the neighborhood, the hump in the middle is noticeable. It's not that far that it's impossible to drive, but it does make the drive a bit uncomfortable, hence the 4โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust surface
Cons
  • Thin

Great looking product but poor manufacture

First of all these pedals look even better in real life and really make your bike look amazing! The downside is that they are not very well designed and manufactured. I bought a pair, had problems with them and got a replacement pair within 3 days (AMAZING service), unfortunately the replaced pedals had the same problems. All the shafts were bent and it was very noticeable even when installed (the pedal tip was about 4mm off center). Another issue was that the retainer that kept the pedal bodyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Spindle presser foot pressure

Revain's first review, just wanted to let you know. Gave 3 stars, the quality is great but the low profile bothers it and causes leg pain. I used blue to match my frame. The hex on the end of the spindle is handy for installation (compared to the old wrench on the side of the pedal). I originally bought these for my 29er hardtail after the stock bottom brackets failed. I have done several rides on the Zwift and have always felt the pressure point on the foot where the spindle was located asโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Useless features

I really wanted to like her. But. Can't

These are great looking pedals. The blue color matches the Fox suspension adjustment knobs. Processing looks good. So I really wanted to like her. But I'll be back. Here's the breakdown.1. They're pretty light. Slim. The overall quality seems very good.2. When new, the pedal fits snugly against the spindle. Probably due to fresh viscous fat. After a few km3 it should get better. I took it apart to see what's inside. Nut at the end of the spindle 5/16. And regular sockets don't fit in the pedal,

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Hard to say
