DMR V12 Pedals

[Stu]

Looking to put some DMR V12s on my 160.

Anyone have the same, what’s your thoughts, and any alternatives in that sort of price range?

Cheers.

Brilliant pedals. Been using them since they first came out. Always been bullet proof and not sure theres a better pedal for a similar price tbh.

I've been running them for 15+ years, but these days there are much better pedals out there, with more grip, less weight, thinner body etc. Crank bros stamp, burgtec, shimano saint or the £25 nukeproofs I bought to keep in the car in case I forget my spd shoes.

I have DMR Vaults which are a bit bigger platform than the V12's. Grippy as a grippy thing.

The Vaults are also nearly twice the price.

The OP mentioned similar price range.

I forgot to mention I did also have a set of the DMR V6's (plastic) for a while. Whilst they didn't let me down they just felt cheap, looked cheap and I'm sure didn't grip as well as the V12's. Quite possibly the £25 NukeProofs mentioned above would be better if the OP really wants to go plastic.

The point is the larger platform which with larger feet (size UK 10.5-11) I find work much better than my previous V12's (which are now on my wife's bike who has size UK 7 feet).

+1 for the Nukeproof also I had them on my previous Levo and where the stickiest pedals I have used to date currently using the one up composite pedals which work but not as good as the Nukeproof.

I use the DMR v12 magnesium, 10% larger and 350g, excellent pedals. I tried the NukeProofs but much prefer the DMR.

DMR V12 are very reliable and super grippy but on the small side and with threaded pins that rip your legs if you get anywhere near them. The coloured ones also shed their paint pretty quickly.

I recently changed to Spank Spoon 110s which have the same concave shape as V12s and the same level of grip but the exposed part of the pins is not threaded so much more user friendly. If you like the smaller size there is also the Spank Spoon 100. You will need to look for a deal though if you want a price similar to V12s.

Pro's:
- Cheap. Under £20 if you can find a pair in stock.
- Bearings still good on mine after 1,500+ miles.

Con's:
- Thick.
- Heavy.

If I was going to swap them for something else (just to get something thinner) it would be the Saint pedals, but how big are the bearings in those? A lot of pedals now (being thinner) have smaller bearings and that's definitely something to avoid. Been there, done that.
