Funky Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Honeycomb pedals with Hex Socket Screws - best ordeal of both worlds.. Grip tape gets dirty and in winter the pedals get coated with snow/ice and become slippery. Honeycomb pedals fix that issue easily. Yet for some regular "spikes" are way to grippy and they can destroy soles of shoes. I personally have replaced original pedal spikes to those screws.. Grip is about the same as grip tape, but same time snow/mud doesn't make pedals slippery. Also these screws have bigger head and aren't sharp, where regular spikes have sharp edge, meaning they don't dig into shoes that much and doesn't cut soles. As for pedals that have plastic top cover. Remove top part of pedal - simply drill some holes and put screw with a nut over it - great success.

I'd much rather keep using Vicious Griptape, I'm pretty sure this stuff was designed for use on kayaks, it's seriously grippy to the point where you can easily break the skin on your fingers when it's brand new. Not even with heavy rain or mud on my shoes have I slipped even a tiny bit on this stuff. I also used to use this stuff to keep me planted before powerpads were commercially available. The only negative is having to turn one of your scissors into " the griptape scissors " because it will never cut the same way again. Thanks for recommendation !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple screw with a nut over it is all you need. Original pedals, but now you got some studs.. And you can put as many as you want. Start by drilling 10 per pedals and see now much drip you need more.. More screws - more grip. Screw head inside the pedal - tread coming outwards - nut over tread.

I’ve checked on Google search for Honeycomb pedals, they’re everywhere 😅 I’m tempting to upgrade, but not now as they’re so steep 😅😅😅 Your idea of using general screws is so simply👍 More important ~ these flat heads won’t hurt the sole of the shoe ! I’m amazed 👍👍👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have few options now, I like the flat heads idea, instead of studs ~ just because it seems to be more easy for the soles? I have a problem ~ I’m struggling to find studs that I could use … Can you help please? (UK) Thanks !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PogArtTi Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Could you guys confirm the size for me please? I just have found these two on eBay 👍 The other one in black it’s tyre fixing plug 😅 I’m confused which to choose now, as the tyre version looks more gently to the sole of the shoe?

Punxatawneyjoe Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I would also say consider these 2 things before a DIY pedal stud kit. Anytime you drill holes into a structure it weakens its overall integrity and for weight savings a lot of these pedals don't have much wiggle room if you are a heavy rider. Secondly, usually during an unexpected departure from the wheel the wheel does a dramatic "twist" and if your feet are anchored to it like glue, you will probably break something. The v13 studs are probably the least aggressive ones out there and as long as you are wearing the proper shoes/boots for grip they are fine at 55mph and also off road . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for good point of view my friend. I used to have 6 or 7 studs at each pedal fitted, just for the sake to improve the grip, not to get glued if that makes sense 😉 All I’m after is to put few studs again, here and there 👍 TBH I’m liking the Honeycomb pedals with studs a lot, I’m tempting to buy. The main reason ~ they’re opened through, so no dirt or anything remains on the top, but is disposed throughout the pedal immediately… It’s very expensive to get them though, so it will take me some time to save £££ 😉 Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Bjerke Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 (edited) Drill holes using 4.5 mm drill --- dont take the pedal off. Drill the studs down into the pedal You dont need to make thread and just use 5 studs in the from well supported area of the pedal... USe hex tool to get the studs in there Edited April 28 by Finn Bjerke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
