Flat pedals are back. The era of clipless being the ubiquitous option for weekend trail riding mountain bikers is over. Thank goodness for that. Flat pedals are more fun and more rewarding to ride. Sure, clipless is faster for racers and Strava addicts but for those of us who ride for fun and thrill, flats are the be all and end all.

DMR V12 was £80.00 now £59.99

“The V12 has been an iconic pedal, scratch that, legendary pedal since it was first launched 18 years ago but now it has been freshened up for the first time. There wasn’t anything wrong with the old style V12 pedal but DMR felt it was time to give the old workhorse a slight makeover. These new V12’s feature a 10 percent wider platform wich enables better grip for your foot and allows you to take bigger hits than ever before. The pedal has been made slightly thinner and is now just 16mm deep whilst still maintaiing the V12’s much loved concave shape. All this stacks up to bring this pedal bang up to date and with the added benefit of this version of the pedal being constructed from Magnesium these pedals weigh in at a teeny tiny 350 grams.” View Deal at Tweeks Cycles
