ROCKBROS MTB Pedals Mountain Bike Pedals Lightweight Nylon Fiber Bicycle Platform Pedals for BMX MTB 9/16"

I think these are copies of another pedal that is exactly the same; but these are fine pedals. The pins provide great traction (in fact, they "lock into" the soles of my shoes quite well". The pins are replaceable with M3x10mm cap head screws. The spindles are true. I've got 2.5 years on my first pair and I'm very happy with them.

Nice upgrade for my bike. Feet are stable on the pedals now. Easy install.

These pedals are lightweight, solid, and have excellent grip. I bought them because they work with Velcro foot straps. The platform has just the right shape and spacing to run straps through securely. Super comfortable and stable for both casual rides and more aggressive biking.

This is an initial impression review. I will be installing them today and going on regular rides with them starting tomorrow. I expect bicycle pedals to last 5-10,000+ miles minimum before problems (usually bearing failure). I will update this review if I encounter a problem before that mileage is reached. In general, these pedals initially feel quite sturdy. They feel like they are made of aluminum. The bearings are smooth, and a tiny bit stiff out of the box. NOTE: It would be nice if Rock Bros provided information regarding the quantity, size and type(s) of bearings used in these pedals. In lieu of that service to the customer, I took them apart to verify the bearing set-up. Unfortunately, like so many inexpensive pedals, these use "DU bearings" (a simple plastic or metal, 'self-lubricating' bushing -- I AM NOT A FAN OF DU BEARINGS!) as the main load-bearing surface. I assume that the stiffness will break in fairly quickly, then provide a smooth pedaling experience for a while, followed by the pedals loosening up and getting sloppy over time as the DU bearings wear down. You may have noticed that my pedal has a 1/2 toeclip. These pedals do not accommodate toeclips... unless you have an adapter, and do a few minor modifications. I designed a 3D printable adapter today, which prints fast and works well, and lets you install 1/2 and full toeclips. If you are into 3D printing, the design is free on printables.

Great upgrade. My shoes stick to them like crazy, definitely a must

I finally ditched the original equipment old-fashioned quill-type pedals that came on my old Specialized Hardrock circa 2004. I use the bike 100% on pavement (I get a better workout at lower speeds than using a road bike), so could live with the limited grip of the original equipment pedals with my running shoes, but had to be careful when pedaling standing up, as my feet would slip and move around on the old pedals. These new pedals fixed that issue 100%. Great grip on the bottoms of my running shoes (ASICS) I use for biking. My feet NEVER slip or move around even when pedaling really hard standing up. The bearings are super smooth and have some very slight drag if you spin the pedals by hand, but that is to be expected with precise-fitting new bearings. I didn't have to change my seat height at all, as these pedals are low-profile and at least on my bike, are if anything, slightly thinner than my original cheapo pedals. Installation was a snap with the 15mm pedal wrench I have. The pedal spindles are clearly engraved L or R so you know which pedal goes on which side of the bike. One thing, I wish these were made in the U.S., not China.

Absolutely love these pedals!Easy to install, marked well to ensure you get them installed on the proper sides.My foot was slipping on the factory pedals any time i would encounter wet or muddy conditions. These cut right through and provide stable grip.

Well I used these for about 6 months when the right pedal just fell off while I was cycling. The pedal came off of the shaft leaving just a greasy bar. I brought it into the bike shop and they said it was just fine, just needed tightened on better. It was probably loose from the factory they said. Otherwise I really like these pedals. My feet never slip off due to the pointed little spikes on the pedals. That being said, be very careful when you try to spin the pedals with your hand like when you want to oil your chain. I would use gloves because those petals are quite sharp
