This is a review for the Deity Compound pedals: They're good.
I've decided to put my bike on a diet and these pedals are the first step. Dropped about 200 grams from the Ringle Zuzu's . I'm very fond of the Zuzu's but thought, what the hell, I'll give something new a shot.
As you can see, they are larger and more square than the Zuzu's and much thinner too. I'm hip to the physics of a thinner platform- closer to the axle and all that- but I was a little tentative about giving up the concave. They do feel completely different. I could easily .......
WTF? Sorry... I was just listening to a live Beatles set and realized they are singing in German.... Anyway, back to the review.....
So, yeah, I can feel that I'm stepping on the axle but it's not a bad feeling and it actually provided a bit of slip to make stance adjustments. And my fear of slipping because of this was unfounded. They're grippy.
Deity calls them "injection molded nylon fiber composite". I call them "plastic". Really hard plastic. At 340 grams, they are light. And at 48 bucks, they are cheap. They get good reviews and I'd recommend them after one ride.
I like them. Yes I do.
