The only thing I have found issue with us the pedal extensions are all heavily rusted to the point they almost didn't come out. I don't even get how this happened. You literally just got the wheel. Are they storing these in wet conditions before shipping? Also, I'm not too savvy on metals, but shouldn't this be rust proof since it's on the pedal?

I guess it's an easy fix since it looks surface-level, you can sand it and spray some rust proof on it, but that's unacceptable if it arrived like that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) @MrMonoWheel Both pedals or only one? If both - i would be scared to open the wheel insides. (If you have not opened it already.) The wheel has been sitting in moist place.. Which isn't looking good.

Clem604 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Yikes, I suppose its a good thing I was going to install new pedals regardless. This may be a one off though as I haven't seen anyone else with this issue. Edited December 31, 2022 by Clem604 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only explanation i can think of is that because it was heavily discounted, perhaps its a re-manufactured test model. In that case the rest of the wheel should be fine but it would explain the appearance of rust on the pedal shafts. Shipping wouldn't cause this unless the container had a leak, they are supposed to be water resistant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rust won't happen in ~3days. It has been sitting somewhere in storage, factory.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I’m a bit disappointed that I’m going to have to replace these pedals. 😵💫 still very much looking forward to this wheel though. I plan on riding stock for awhile just to see how they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been following this thread to gauge from him his feeling about the wheel since i still have time to cancel my v13 order and i feel he will give an honest review. He is obviously a straight shooter if that's a picture of his new pedal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's expensive. I'd almost rather wait it out to see if any cheaper ones come out or install those aftermarket studs myself. It's almost half a thousands dollars for some freaking pedals dude Pedal price is 200-300$. Same price as any other wheels pedals. So no point crying about it. That price has been the same for years. If one needs the aftermarket pedals he buys, or doesn't.. I bought mine the same day i bought my wheel - i knew i want/need them. What's extra 200-300$, if you already are spending 2000-4000$ on wheel. Same thing i will be doing, when i'm buying new PC next year - I could get something mediocre for ~1500$ or spend ~4000$ for top of a line PC. Which i will not replace for next 5-10 years. I know which one i will choose. Even doh spending that ~4000$ is crazy amount - i know. But it will serve me many years.

Paul A Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 If it is just the pedals, it's still a great deal. Just hope there are no other major flaws. Quite a big difference in price between aliexpress and dealer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost half a thousand dollars for some freaking pedals dude Yeah, I've already come to terms with the cost of the mods I'm going to add to the Sherman S. The Grizzla Flow pads cost me $330 (Canadian) and that was a hard pill to swallow but I have them now ready to go when my wheel comes in. So far I'm between the NyloNove and E-Rides pedals so we will see what those look like and are priced when they are announced. Riding EUC's is an expensive hobby but at least it can be cheaper than gambling or drugs Edited December 31, 2022 by Clem604 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will accomplish my goal of making the wheel slightly lighter overall which is great. With the E-Rides pedals I can have a black pedal with those heel+toe add on things in yellow which is exactly the colour scheme (black and yellow) I'm going with on the S.

I have the official leaperkim pads coming from GTKing that hopefully will fix this. Have you seen the "additional" seat LeaperKim (I think?) designed, that drapes over the upper suspension posts? Looks like that might solve the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can personally recommend the NyloNove pedals having installed them on 2 of my 3 EUC's so far, I love the quality and performance they offer.
