Posted by iceman2058 on 11/3/2020 1:20 AM

The Good:

Weight
Pins (grip)
Comfort of platform shape
Price
Thinness

The Bad:

Overall Review: Really nice . First time I’ve gone plastic (weight and price). Replaced some twice price uncomfortable HT AE03 Alloy Pedals which felt horrible and the bearings/bushings didn’t hold up.

Are Flat Pedals Less Efficient? (video)

When it comes to pedalling efficiency, if you ask anyone, they will tell you that flat pedals are less efficient than clipping in. I have even heard crazy claims of 10% or more efficiency gains by clipping in, and you know what?I think it's a load of rubbish. I've been riding flat pedals for ab...

What Do Riders Think? Five Flat Pedal Shoes Reviewed by Vital MTB Members (feature story)

Posted by bturman on 11/20/2019 1:41 PM

The Good:

Wide platform, concave shape, light weight, great price

The Bad:

Not alloy if you don't get along with composites

Overall Review: I first learned of the Wah Wah 2's when I was researching Catalyst pedals. I've been riding flats exclusively for over 15 years and wanted a wider platform for more power and support. As a lighter rider (145lbs, 150-155 kitted up) and somewhat of a weight weenie, I didn't want the weight penalty...
