Thanks Shad for putting out so much content . It's a real pleasure to watch all your videos and not have to wait weekly , biweekly , etc. I'm really stoked on everything you do with bikes and always can't wait to see what's next Thanks again for another great video. Mark from Maryland
I have been riding the Deity T-Mac pedals for a year. They are concave front to back. It took a little time to get used to. Now I love them for their grip.
Awesome overview of the pedal landscape! Surprised you haven't tried Shimano PD-GR500 pedals, which are essentially Shimano DX pedals with quality turned to 11, precision bearings, etc. The PD-GR500 pedals sre phenomenal .
I've become a bit of a Wolf Tooth fanboy because of their excellent quality and the fact that they're made in the US. Right now I'm riding with a pair of Crank Brothers Stamp 7 large pedals, which are fantastic (and which I managed to buy for 50% off, so a great deal), but if I ever wanted to replace them, I will definitely give these Wave pedals a look. Of course my Stamp 7 pedals will likely last for years even with all the times they've collided with rocks and roots out on the trail, so I won't have a pressing need to trade up any time soon.
@@ShadLife And 11 months later, I finally got my Wolf Tooth pedals! Although in this case, they are for my new Trek Roscoe 9 (the Stamp 7's, which have held up well, are staying on my Trek Marlin). I've only been on a very short test ride with them, but they're solid, and my feet felt like they were glued to the platforms.
I had a pair with blue cages. My first decent BMX bike was blue and gold. I later had a GT Pro in chrome with a mix of blue and gold parts, that was around 84 I believe. I had Shimano DX pedals on that GT.
Wolf tooth pedals look similar to the yoshimura chilao pedals, I think the pins is the only difference. Next time I would try either of those. I had oneup aluminium pedals, good pedals but did not like the feeling. I had the crankbrothers, but too big for enduro ridding trails or crash on the rocks. I have the chromag synth nylon material, but slip when the soil is wet. Now Im ridding the dmr vault and my favourite of all because the concave feeling for downhill and enduro. Also I want to try the raceface atlas, some reviews say that are the best. And for last, I would like to test the madpeds enduro 2 or hustle pedals (both magnetic) and the review say thar are some between flats and clipless, more grip than pedals and more safe than clipless).
So far I have liked the Hope F20 pedals and I can already tell I won't like the new F22 ones. I like One Up pedals and Deity pedals, both plastic with metal pins. And I do believe I will quite like these Wolf Tooth ones. No magnetics for me. I clip in with Time and always will.
@@ShadLife Cool, The hope f22 models look the same as raceface atlas models. The hope f20 has two pins in the middle and the model looks nice, but I never try it . The deity tmac I think the plataform looks too big, but never try it. The wolf tooth and yoshimura, maybe i will try it because the the two pins in the middle and concave, I think a good option for downhill for good grip, traction, thin plataform ( as one up or raceface) and the the weight.
This was a very educational video. Appreciate the content and the stoke!

"Has anyone noticed the bikes in the background are missing one pedal?" lmaoooooo
Excellent video
🤣
My friends were jealous that I had SE Beartraps so I remember the caged very well.

Those do look good. There are so many pedals out there and one thing I love about the Wolf Tooth pedals is that they are U.S. Made.
Great video !
Great review, Thank you !

You mean, you don't just trade up components...."Just Because"? 🤣

KKT Lightning guy here, lost a lot of shim skin with them

I'm a new rider with a size 9.5US shoes, would you recommend the small or larger pedal for the waveform?
Larger

Any long term reviews on the pedal? Can’t decide between the waveforms, deity TMacs, or the new Hope F22s
It is the dead of winter so this bike project I am working on won't be ridden until spring unfortunately.
My bike has cage pedals.
What size did you buy?
The large ones. The small ones might be similar in size to the OG Shimano DX pedals.
