Date Reviewed: September 25, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Comes with Giant Faith 3 | | Strengths: | Looks good, nice polished finish, stable concave platform | | Weaknesses: | The fix pin which is not interchangeable is blunt and also polished like the body. Hence the grip is minimal and might even be sliperry in wet condition. | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano DX, Wellgo LU-998 | | Bike Setup: | Giant Faith 3 | | Bottom Line: | I would not recommend this pedal to anyone riding seriously... Can only be used to ride around, maybe for the bling factor???
If you get the pedal with a new bike, change it before going for a serious ride. Or even trade in with the store if you could...
I changed mine to the Shimano DX and couldn't be happier... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$70.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Durability and strength | | Weaknesses: | Moisture | | Bike Setup: | 2004 Giant VT3. | | Bottom Line: | There is nothing wrong with these pedals if you never, ever get moisture on or even near them, or your shoes. When using these pedals in completely dry instances, their performance is great. I find the amount of grip is perfect. I have ridden pedals that actually grip too much and you literally have to lift your whole foot off of the pedal just to make an adjustment. Not to mention they tear up your shoes. Not so here, Your foot feels planted and rarely do you feel as though the grip is inadequate. This all of course is in dry conditions.
And this is where the story turns ugly. Incorporate a tiny bit of H2O into the mix and you've created an instant monster. They go from a fairly decent pedal to basic crap in the splash of a raindrop. It becomes a challenge to actually try to keep your foot ON the pedal. I feel this is due to the fact that the pins actually have a slightly rounded top edge instead of a "sharp cut top" kind of profile. These things were obviously not R and D'd in wet weather.
I will say that durability has been fantastic. No problems with bearings going or shafts bending or anything of that nature. This is after 1 season and about 1000 kms. Top marks in that regard.
Overall these could have been a really great pedal, but the wet weather issue is one too great to be ignored. Ahhh, nevermind the "wet weather", just step on some grass with dew or ride through a puddle and Mr. Shiney may very well be meeting up with Mr.Hussefelt before you would have hoped. This drastically brings down the score of these pedals. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 29, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Savage Cycle | | Strengths: | Broad platform. Aesthetically pleasing. | | Weaknesses: | Quality. Reliablity. | | Bike Setup: | 2004 Jamis Dakar Comp XC, stock (Shimano XT, Deore, etc.) except: G-Ribs Tires, Velo Plush Seat. | | Bottom Line: | Sorry, but these seem to have a quality control issue. I bought a pair of these as open box and the left pedal had a right threaded bearing in it. Kudos for the LBS in offering me a brand new pair in exchange, however after a season of light trail riding, city commutes and some cross country one of the bearings has failed on the left pedal and started to seize up. I know I'm a clydesdale at 230 lbs, but I don't ride aggressively, so I would expect better reliability from a mid-range pedal. Truvativ is 0-2 on this count. I've moved on to 1664 pedals. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 25, 2006 | | Favoriate Trail: | upper oil can | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | NONE. I wold not even toss these at someone stealing my bike. | | Weaknesses: | These are like porcelain shoes on ice. I could not keep my feet on them. The almost killed me on the first ride. | | Similar Products Used: | I have never used something like these. I have lots of experience on real pedals | | Bike Setup: | 06 Giant Faith2 | | Bottom Line: | utter and complete crap. I can't understand how Giant put these on a new bike. I would not put them on my daughters tricycle. I was going to put them in the garbage but they would silde out of the can!

$35.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Good styling, low profile, rather affordable. | | Weaknesses: | Keepin' me feet on the darn pedals! | | Similar Products Used: | Sun Ringle pedals | | Bike Setup: | Intense 5.5. FOX Float XTT, XT, Truvative Stylo cranks, Mavic 819's, Onyx hubs, Hayes 9. | | Bottom Line: | Great styling and nice profile. The pedals are a mere 10 mm thinner then nornal platforms. The only big problem is keeping your feet on them. They are soslipery like they are teflon coated. If you are into performance don't buy these pedals. Or if you are into the bling factor still don't buy these pedals! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
