from asheville, NC, USA Date Reviewed: February 13, 2012 Strengths: lightweight at 376grams a set. I actually have the MG-1 Ti flavor of the pedal, which isn't listed by mtbr. They are on ebay for around $80 inc shipping. these are very light weight (280 grams a set), and are identical to the MG-1 except for instead of cro-moly spindale it's titanium. Grip well. Weaknesses: one extra pin or two on the inboard side would be nice. pins all need locktite. (but most pedals do) I would have typically thought durability might be an issue, but I haven't seen one thing to dog them here. They've seen rocks at speed many times but just scratches and scars are on them, no cracks. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $78.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: shimano dx-1 Bike Setup: Iron Horse 6 point, Lyrik rc2dh, Fox DHX 5 Air, Angleset, Azonic Outlaws, Juicy 7, XT shifting hardware

from Nantou County Taiwan Date Reviewed: November 24, 2011 Strengths: Wide, major grip, cheap, light, looks cool Weaknesses: My tech said sometimes the little cleats can break, so he gave me a box of replacements. I guess if more than a couple of them broke off, this pedal would start to behave like a slip and slide. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Puli Backcountry Route 69 Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: Bikey's Bike Shop in Similar Products Used: The stock pedals that came with my last two mountain bikes.

from Bellingham, WA Date Reviewed: November 22, 2011 Strengths: Cheap, sturdy, grip seems great. Weaknesses: Seems to get a little slick when the rain starts falling, but that could be my Nike 6.0 skate shoes, so take with a grain of salt. Also, the bling factor is a bit low. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: All of them Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $59.00 Purchased At: Fanatik Bikes Co. Similar Products Used: None, switched from clipless, so closest would be Crank Brothers Mallet 2. Bike Setup: Specialized SX Trail 2011 with Fox 180 TALAS, and Wellgo MG-1 pedals

from San Francisco, CA Date Reviewed: September 9, 2011 Strengths: Cheap. Light. 360g pair. Super grip. Has extra stud pin in the center of the pedal for even more grip. Most other platforms do not have the center stud pin. High end pedals like Easton Flatboys and Point One Racing Podium do not have the extra stud pin. The sides of the pedals are more rounded than other platforms. They don't grab or snag the ground while pedaling/carving a tight turn or the side of rocks like more squared pedals causing you to fall over. Easton Flatboys knows this problem and has curved their pedals almost round. Point One Racing Podium look awesome, but the squarish edges snag more easily than these Wellgo MG-1. Weaknesses: None Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $45.00 Similar Products Used: Easton Flatboys, Point One Racing Podium Bike Setup: Ibis Mojo SL, Cannondale Jekyll 2011 Carbon
