Review: Perfect - Perfect grip and good quality
Review: Good pedals! - While these pedals might be a shade on the heavy side at just over 530g/pair, unless you're a weight weenie that uses latex tubes and removes valve caps to save weight, who cares? They're very solidly built, mega-grippy and the bearings feel good. Each pedal has a good size platform with nine pins in each side and the set includes a set of washers so you can shorten the pins. More on that later. I would say they are easy to fit, with the usual cautions on pedal removal/fitting because the thread on the left pedal is reversed. The pedals are marked for L and R. You'll need either a 6mm hex driver (preferably a torque wrench) or as a last resort, a 15mm spanner. I do highly recommend a torque wrench as you don't want pedals too tight or too loose. There are many video guides online showing how to change pedals and I strongly urge you to watch some if in any doubt. Side note: my old pedals were a PAIN to get off as they used a nonstandard 8mm hex bolt. When I put them on I must've guessed at the torque (as I don't have a torque wrench with an 8mm head) and today I paid the price for that. I'd strongly recommend using a torque wrench to tighten the pedal to the required 10nm. And don't forget to give the threads a light coating of high quality grease prior to installing as this will help with removal in the future. About those pins. Out of the box they stick up about 3 or 4mm and they give very aggressive grip - far too much for my requirements. There is a set of washers included which come in two bags; one of thin washers, and one of thicker washers. There is enough to put one of each washer of every pin. I opted for having the pins as short as possible, so one thick and one thin washer per pin. You do have four options for pin length; no washers, a thin washer, a thick washer, or one of each. The price I paid is a little higher than perhaps I could have got them for if I'd maybe waited a while and kept an eye on price trends, but I don't mind paying for quality, and these are that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Pedale mit (zu) viel Grip im schönen Design
*by K***N on 7 December 2021*

Ich wollte meine 0815 Pedale mit etwas höherwertigen Shimano Pedalen austauschen, in einer preiswerten Klasse bin ich über diese Pedale gestolpert, auch wenn einige Rezensionen unterschiedlich ausgefallen sind. Ich selber habe die Pedale seit über 1500KM im Einsatz und sie funktionieren noch so wie am ersten Tag. Es quietscht und knackst nichts. Die Pedale kommen bereits gut gefettet an und haben am Lager auch eine dickere Fettschicht, diese ist bei mir nach wie vor noch etwas vorhanden (trotz Regen/Schmutz/Waschen des Fahrrades) und läuft nicht aus oder ähnliches. Die Pedale haben sich in der Zwischenzeit auch nicht verbogen und hinterlassen keine Geräusche - der Lauf ist angenehm und man "tritt gerne in die Pedale". Optisch sehen die Pedale auch super aus und auf Wunsch kann man StVO konforme Reflektoren nachrüsten. Das keine Reflektoren von Haus aus eingebaut sind zeigt auch, dass diese Pedale normalerweise nicht für den Alltag im Straßenverkehr sind.. das beweisen auch die Spikes. Man hat extrem guten halt auf den Pedalen, diese beißen sich richtig in die Schuhe fest und man kann kaum von den Pedalen rutschen. Da ich diese Pedale für jedes Gelände nutze - also auch im Alltag - würde ich dringend empfehlen, die mitgelieferten Distanzringe zu benutzen - es besteht sonst tatsächlich Verletzungsgefahr, wenn man nicht aufpasst und ist leider auch schnell passiert. Bei mir waren 2 "Schichten" an Distanzringen dabei, man kann sie also zweistufig einfahren - ich nutze derzeit nur die erste Lage, da diese für den Alltag und im Gelände einen sicheren Halt bieten. Alles in allem eine klare Kaufempfehlung von mir, lediglich mit den Schrauben/Spikes würde ich aufpassen und mindestens die erste Lage einsetzen. Wer die Pedale sowieso nur für Offroad nutzen möchte und das maximale an Grip rausholen will, kann die Pedale auch gut ohne die Distanzringe fahren.. das bin ich die ersten Monate auch.
