DMR Vault - V1 Flat Pedal

(discontinued)

The Vault's are great pedals and provide tons of grip. Not the thinnest of pedals, but rarely noticed that. Love the different color ways and tunable pins was a nice touch. Rebuild kits were easy to install when needed

These pedals were recommended to me from a riding buddy and I'm sure glad I took his advice. I got these as the first flat pedal I'd had in a while since I was riding shimanoclips and Teva shoes for 3-4 years straight. However, when I did make the move to riding in north van, I soon realized that I would be a lot better off riding flat pedals. That was 2 seasons ago and these puppies are still running great.

They have taken a serious beating in the time I have used them and have some nice shiny chunks taken out of the sides to show for it. And even though they looked pretty used, I haven't lost a pin or damaged a bearing yet. They are still spinning smoothly and grippy as hell to climb with. Combo these pedals with some 5.10 shoes and you will have some serious stick and control on the bike. I can honestly say that I have no interest in going back to clipless pedals anytime soon. I see the value in them but you just can't beat the weight savings and the fun factor in flats. DMR vault mag's will do you right!

Great pedals, the grip can't be rivalled and the wide platform is very comfortable. For the first few months of riding they are perfect, but they do develop a few issues later in their life. The nylon bushing on the inside become very worn but switching it with a stainless steel one has removed all play and should last a lot longer. Another issue is due to being hit against rocks etc, they holes for the pins have become warped and some of the pins no longer screw in.

They are quite expensive, but if you take good care of them, they should last for a very long time.
