Let's see your Pedals and grips!

My first emtb is getting delivered at the end of the week. Went with the 2020 levo comp. Excited is an understatement. I went with the full black frame but was very tempted by the taupe/orange. I'm thinking I'll want to bring in some color to the overall appearance and no better way than new pedals and grips etc. My DMR v12s on my analog are just black so I'm looking for some new ideas.

I just ordered a black one UP on amazon. I want the stamp but thought I try composite pedals

 

[ebikerider]

Currently using the oneup composite pedals are they have been fantastic. Loads of grip with 5ten shoes and have been completely reliable. Cheap too!

I wonder why 90% of E-MTB riders use flat pedals...., i have no idea why...

I wonder why 90% of E-MTB riders use flat pedals...., i have no idea why...

90% sounds a bit high, but I think there's a feeling that maximum pedaling efficiency is not as important on an eBike. I've been using these...

but I'm clipped in 99% of the time.

 

[Gary]

Nothing to do with being an E bike. Flats are simply more fun.

As is riding gloveless...

Ribbed for MY pleasure

 

[Rusty]

I have stuck to my trusty XTR pedals. Have never felt comfortable on flats - probably due to my weight and slowness having the ability to assist the bikes lift and trajectorywhen coming across an unexpected gap in the trail or to bunny-hop over assorted small rocks & branches.
Usually run stock grips until they wear out then find something comfortable - or take the stockers off while new and put on some soft foam grips.

 

[Gary]

clips do actually make quite a lot of sense when riding such heavy bikes. more for wheel placement than bunnyhopping. I still bunnyhop properly even when I'm clipped in. Can't help it.

Those reminded me of my favourite old mushroom grips from way back, turns out you can still get them !

I'm ambivalent about the Commencal grips that came on my meta power, I may try those sensus lights

Just looking at that pic brings memories back of bleeding thumb 'knuckles' (is it a knuckle ?), that would never heal over the summer holidays from all the riding, awesome days.

Lol omg, that does bring back memories

yeAH.... erm...

They're absolutely nothing like those horrible old skool BMX Mushroom grips. I HATED them BITD and still do.
Sensus ribs are so thin short and soft they feel like velvet.
They're the only grips I'd consider running as they're so good gloveless. Even in wet or hand sweatingly warm conditions.

Sensus disisdaboss is an even better grip but they're too wide to run with my Eeb because of the controller switch.
If you never ride in the wet the Lite's are also available in non lock on in the "Swayze" guise

the only downside to Sensus grips is that they wear pretty quickly. (But you can spin/flip) them to increase their lifespan

As well as being massively bad ass himself Cam Zink knows how to design a bad ass grip

Burgtec Penthouse on my bikes ?

 

[Galion]

Love my ODI Rogue and One Up Alu pedals

 

[jimbobwr]

Slightly off topic but thought I'd share my latest creation! I needed somewhere safe, secure and out of the way to store my Kenevo. This is what I came up with

 

[Gary]

my latest creation!

That's mental!

I do like a bit of mental though. Well done!

 

[OMLLENADO]

Not bad, I like the idea. Now I can put my welder to work. Making this thing for my bike hauler

 

[jimbobwr]

Cool, is it going to be tow bar mounted?

 

[Lukelw]

£12 from eBay super light weight and amazing grip haven’t slipped once

As for grips

Dmr death grips (thick) really changes the bike over the stock grips I was squeezing the bar to right on rough descents and getting really bad soreness after riding. Fitted these and it’s gone

mounts on the back hing of the sprinter.

 

[sb5050]

[jimbobwr]
