Anyone riding Wellgo platforms?

I used to use them and have seen quite a few folk using them.

I just changed for looks rather than pedal performance, its a good
pedal.

My bike has run a set of them for years, completely hassle free.

I used them when I was learning so they took plenty of falls and knocks
and held up just fine.

I bent the axles a wee bit after doing big drops, but I'm not light so
that's to be expected - any pedal axle will bend eventually. (unless
they're titanium or summat)

trials.

I use them on Blue Shift and on my Coker. The Blue Shift pedals have
seen the most abuse because I've loaned it to so many people and they
take high speed spills on pavement which batters the pedals. I have not
used the Wellgo platforms shown for MUni or trials. I have used the
Wellgo B-27 model for MUni with poor results. The ones you show I think
are B-35 or B-37. The platforms on my Coker have survived three tire
carcasses and four years of service.

I've got a pair of Magnesium ones just like those shown in the pic
(which are probably NOT Mag.). Super light and comfortable. But there's
not enough surface area on the platform to absorb big drops and I kept
bruising my feet, so I switched to Shinburgers and never looked back.
For Cokering, they surely would rock!

I used to have 'em, and I bent 'em both on a six foot drop...My friend
still has 'em both, but never goes off anything higher than about four
feet, and they're in relatively good condition. So in
conclusion....They're not too bad.

Thanks for the input... I was looking to use them for trials, but I
think I'll put them on my muni; the stock pedals suck. I love my Snafu
Concaves, so those will stick with the trials..... my muni gets much
less (ab)use.

I've had ones like those on my muni and coker. Their fine. Eventully the
pins wear and they are less gripy but a decent budget pedal.

What did you try them on, and for what application (trials, muni,
distance, etc.)? What didn't you like about them (breakage, no grip,
etc.)?

I agree.
