I love V.P. pedals until they start going bad, which is pretty quick in my experience. Needing to rebuild a pedal regularly gets in the way of my minimal maintenance schedule, so I decided to try these Fookers- https://photos.app.goo.gl/NXPs7HwaAgJwDU8V9 because they’re cheap/disposable. To my

Yeah, they are pricey. Much more than a little marine grease, which is what I used to slather on the spindles of my VP Vice today. Turns out, when I look at all the pedals out there, mine are hard to beat, considering they are every day "just ride" pedals. About 100x100 square, not too heavy, p

Man those are pricey but I love that they are about the same weight as composite pedals, they look great and are made in America. I am going to give those a shot sometime soon. On Friday, March 18, 2022 at 2:32:38 PM UTC-4 cycli...@gmail.com wrote: > Review of the Yoshimura Chilao pedals on The

I have the Spank Oozy pedals on my Chameleon and like them a lot, metal, low profile, and availabe bushings that are easy to replace. Too bad you don't like composites, I also have Race Face Chesters on a couple bikes and find them to be just as good and much less expensive. On Thursday, March

I like the Blue Lug MKS XC-III pedals. Not too big and they hold my 8.5 shoes well. They look like the bear trap pedals that I had on my Redline BMX bike back in the early 80's. I got mine from Hope Cyclery. They have them in six colors. On Thursday, March 17, 2022 at 8:39:05 AM UTC-7 John Bok

Thanks for all the good suggestions, everyone. I'm Narrowing down the parameters, I think. So far, what I think I want: 1. Metal pedal body, not composite. 2. Rebuildable pedal (can rebuild parts be had?). 3. At least as long as the Vice (106mm, I think). 4. At least 100mm wide. Does anyone have

Yes, I did grease theses once already. Grease is inexpensive, so of course, I could regrease them. As for the Catalyst, I don't want to go there for a few reasons: 1. I already experience toe overlap (fenders on my 700c Sam) at times, and the length of the pedal is way longer than the Vice. 2

I started with VP Vise when I moved to flat pedals 7 years ago. A few years ago I've moved to Catalyst pedals (like Jay above). They are made for Cycling Innovations by VP, but CI sells rebuild kits should the need arise. I'm not a high milage rider, but so far no issues with the pedals. I

I’ve not yet read all of the responses, so apologies if I am repeating. I have converted to flats exclusively and have not been attached to any bike for 5 or 6 years. Part of this was my interest in the catalyst pedal. I’ve still not tried the catalyst, but I have adopted the mid foot position -

Do you add grease to your Vice pedals John ? I always add grease to any pedal, open them up, slather some grease on the axle and slide the body back on the excess oozes out the axle side. I have 2 pairs of Vice and they've been flawless. Before these I did this with Wellgo MG-1's. I wear siz
