It's an old thread, but there were quite a few interesting recommendations in here :

Flat Pedals .. recommendations for Muppet MTBing

OK, I'm being lazy .. I've searched all 100,000 posts (glanced anyway .... most are about blevo) I got bored looking .. and most were pictures of pedals and not descriptions .. Requirements .. Flats .. Reasonably crash resistant and crap rider focused .. I like to trail build - this often...

And a newer one with some similar but also some additional ideas.

Flat pedals recomendtions please!!

Hi, I bought One-Up composit pedals and after 2 months they were squeaking and clickin really bad. I try to repair it somehow, even put out axle and they looked very good, covered with greese. Seems like plastic is squeaking and clicking somewhere :) Sorry for my English. Can you guys recommend...

Well had Schwalbe Nobbys on, that replaced a pair of Smart Sams (awful) that came with the bike. I wanted something with less Rolling resistance, and still be a good rubber for the trails. There isn’t a lot in stock anywhere, so some reviews later, I settled on these. I am super happy with the 2.0 compound, and will buy them again. They have amazing grip on the trails, and when cornering hard, the just keep biting more and more. They do have a downside that i haven’t fully figured out yet, and that is when you hit roots hard with the rear wheel, they react/deflect differently than any other tyre I have had. I don’t know how to explain it, but I am slowly getting the hang of it. Deep mud isn’t a favourite either, and somehow the dirt settle between the knops longer than the old nobbys. Everything else is a 10 out of 10 experience, and from spring to late fall, they are now my goto rubber. Another thing: I really think you would need to work hard at getting a puncture - they feel extremely solid for an XC/trail rubber! In short: I take these over any Schwalbe for spring/summer/fall, and will buy again for sure, but Nobbys still rule the mud.
Feel free to ask anything specific if needed!

I was a little worried buying them, since they are not that known/sold here in Denmark. They are a little different from the Schwalbe I normally buy, but after about 150 km on them, I love them! Will buy again! They roll pretty fast for a nobby rubber, and the grip is really good.
 
I was waiting for the new single crown Ohlins 38 fork but couldn't wait anymore. So I bought a non emtb FOX 38 180mm for my Decoy

Nice I was thinking going the same route, but I found SAINTS are enough

Edit: Code R's where good to but I wanted same pads for both bikes ( Normal one also)

Thanks mate! Well, my stock brakes are MT5 and was planning to fully upgrade to Saint, but my LBS convinced me to try Shigura :)
Assuming I won't like Shigura combo, then will just add Saint calipers and hoses.
If I would have had full Saint from start, would have kept it as is.

Just finished a ton of work. Built up new wheels front and rear (Light Bicycle rims, DT comp/comp-race spokes, SRAM X0 front hub, Onyx Classic rear hub, Tyrewiz TPMS. Yanked out the Shimano brakes and installed TRP DHR Evos on Magura MDR-P rotors. Front rotor is now 220mm.

One thing that I thought was interesting - now that I have real-time tire pressure on my cyclecomputer, I could see the pressure climbing about 1.0 psi just from rolling around the neighborhood and being out in direct sunlight. In hindsight, it makes sense, but that's a much more dramatic change than I would have expected.

A lightly used set of 33 IW Light Bicycle carbon rims on DT350 hubs. At 1,200 South Pacific micro pesos (NZ Dollars, ~GBP600) I couldn't resist.
 
USB connector getting dodgy on my old Lezyne light, so got one of the £50 Halfords ones. Seems excellent, pretty much the same spec as the old light and half the price.

A nice shiny gold KMC chain to replace the SRAM one that broke after 1080 miles. Fitted by my LBS for £63.99!
 
Some teeny tiny pliers to leave in my pack. Never know when they might be needed.

May I ask what are those?

I can tell you, sooner or later, you'll be very happy to have them. Many years ago I nearly got stuck on top of Mt Wilson with the sun getting low and struggled for the better part of an hour to get a sticky tire valve loose. Ever since then, I made it a point to always keep a Leatherman PS in my pack.
