Re: [RBW] Thin Gripster alternatives?

Miles and miles, my favorite spiked platform pedals are Blackspire.  
I keep a spare pair.  They have a rebuild service that costs $16 US, which 
is really the postage to return them.

As a result if this thread, I just ordered some VP Vice pedals off eBay for
$30, though these JG Bike models look tempting as well.

[RBW] Thin Gripster alternatives?

[Merrill Ryan]

I’m not sure if these are the alternative you are looking for, but I’ve used 
DMR Vault pedals for a couple of years now on two mountain bikes and they have 
held up well. They are serviceable and really hold the feet well, even when 
aggressively mtb’ing. The first set of Vaults I got started sounding crunchy on 
one side and I took it apart, regreased, put it back together and it has been 
like two years since. Very easy to work on. 

I use thin gripsters on my around town bikes and haven’t had issues out of them 
but those bikes don’t get as much use.

[RBW] Thin Gripster alternatives?

I have Shimano Saint PD-MX80 studded platform pedals on all my bikes. Thin, 
strong, not too big, not too small, and the brushed silver and black goes with 
everything. Amazon sells them for $96.

[RBW] Thin Gripster alternatives?

[Fullylugged]

I have really liked these. Distribute pressure well. The pins are rounded and 
don't mar my shoes. They are very light. Very reasonably priced.

[RBW] Thin Gripster alternatives?

[Joe Bernard]

They do have little spikes but not as many, and I remove a few anyway..I don't 
like the super-stuck-in feel of a bunch of spikes. And yes they're spendy but 
that connection on the bike is the difference between loving and not loving 
riding for me, so I pays my money. Plus..pretty colors!

[RBW] Thin Gripster alternatives?

Oh my gosh, those are swanky. I’m having issues with the Thin Gripsters chewing 
up my expensive boots when I turn the pedals at stoplights. These don’t look 
like they would chew up my boots. But

I ride nothing but Deity Black Kats. Big wide suckers and Riv should sell them, 
but you can get them here at a Riv dealer.

[RBW] Thin Gripster alternatives?

[Kieran J]

I have multiple sets of the VP Thin Gripster/VP-001. Great pedals but they 
have all developed clicking noises in the bearings. Some of mine have 
relatively low miles so I'm wondering about their longevity. I note that 
RBW sells a bearing service kit but IMO it's too expensive.

Have others experienced this? Did you service the pedals or replace them 
with something else? If so, what?

Thanks,

Kieran
