Re: [RBW] Re: New Sim Works Taco Pedals: Looks appealing

Pre-order for the taco pedals is now open...

https://www.sim.works/collections/simworks-by-mks/products/taco-pedal?variant=43988378386686

I almost pulled the trigger yesterday when I was ordering some Nissen 
cables for my Sequoia build, but I'm going to wait until I sell some parts 
first. Too much going out and not enough coming in, cash wise.

Hello Eric,

I saw them the other day and thought they would be good pedal for me. I 
like the minimal platform, some engagement but not too much. Looking 
forward to ordering a pair when they're available in late May.

I agree Eric, this pedal appeals to me with the large platform and pinned 
construction. Also saw the Gordito frame and thought, YES this is a good 
use of that tooling!  I bought Allways for the Charlie (well, for the 
Wombat, but) and even though their platform is fairly roomy, they feel too 
small vs. the Monarchs which have become the gold standard for me. I would

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sim Works Taco Pedals: Looks appealing

2023-04-24 Thread DavidP 
I use 5-10 Freeriders on my MTBs with pedals that have screw type pins 
similar to those on the Vault pedals, and also have a few different types 
of pinned pedals on other types of bikes.

In my experience pins like those on the Taco pedals will work fine with 
five-tens, but will not be quite as locked in as the smaller diameter screw 
type pins on pedals like the Vault, which really dig into the 5/10s and 
require lifting your foot to reposition.

The Taco pedal pins split the difference between the above mentioned more 
aggressive pins and the even less aggressive star/torx shaped pins that are 
available on many (inexpensive) pedals marketed for more casual use.

I have pedals with the less aggressive star/torx pins on my Platypus and 
they work great with casual shoes (trail runners, vans type treads, etc.) 
without tearing them up (or me if I brush against them). I tried using my 
five-tens on these pedals and they weren't slippery but offered no 
advantage to casual shoes, so I keep the 5-10s for dedicated MTB use.

My favorite pedal ever is the Simworks Bubbly. I have them on my Clem & they are really good for pavement & even light dirt/gravel. But, they just are not “sticky” enough (for me) on my Gus on singletrack  - I need pins. I built the Gus with leftover DMR Vault pedals. They are big enough and my 5/10 shoes do not move. But the Taco just plain looks so good & is slightly bigger than the vault.
