Popular Post eddiemoy Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) I've been seeing lots of videos regarding this stuff in the skating scene. So I decided to try it out. It was also suggested that the new Gotway Nikola had used this stuff on the pedals. But after seeing it up close it is different. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it during the demo ride, but GW Nikola was larger square pyramids vs these which are more like little boxes, flat top. I just got them installed, sorry, no video. Took a few photos and my impression of it is below.... They feel just as grippy as the abrasive kind. I tried wetting it and also wetting my shoes, it seem to increase the grip for some reason. No data to support just a feeling. There is definitely zero slip with it being wet which was my biggest concern. The cost is about the same. I was hoping that it will give some relief to long riding like the V10F rubber pedals. The jury is still out on that. Will report back later if I feel it is helping after some longer rides. So far I LIKE them! Before After Close up comparison Very easy to change out on the KS XL pedals. Just remove the old hgrip Here is it with a lot of water on it Bought it from here for 11 bucks. Unfortunately you an only do 3 XL pedals with one roll. So to do two EUC's with XL pedals, you need two rolls. They are cheap $12 bucks. https://brailleskateboarding.com/product/non-abrasive-grip-tape/ Edited April 21, 2019 by eddiemoy 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PogArt Artur Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 It's very interesting! I am always very after good grip, so I'm applying super coarse grip tape, and fewer additional little studs on top - just to support the grip tape even more. Thank you for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Tesla sand paper doesnt grip enough and i am shifted slightly forward for every big bump and eventually have to lean up and step back on the pedals to not fall off on front of them :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
