Robse Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Has anybody ever broken a pedal? (in "normal" use - not a crash) was it CNC or Die Cast - which type is strongest / most durable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanBatman Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 CNC is stronger and a friends diecast did fail, from repeated abuse, not a single incident however I’m not sure that the Gotway CNC pedals are actually CNC’d from a billet like Hextech or Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0000 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 From YT vids/comments, I know BTimes broke his RS pedal(s) after a while and Mike Leahy had something break while casing a BIG jump, can't remember if it was the pedal itself or shearing the pedal axle shaft. But these guys are sending it big and and frequently off jumps and drops, and have plenty of wrecks to show for it. So like Trevor said, they were structural fails definitely from repeated hard use. Your average rider is probably going to be just fine with the cast pedals if they don't choose to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die cast breaks, but CNC can break too - a lot depends on choosing the correct material, heat treat, and machining it correctly. A solid block of aluminium isnt equally strong in all directions, it depends on how it was forged/rolled. It works just like a piece of wood that has different kinds of strenght depending on how the grain is oriented versus the load/force it has to bear. One of the main issues of cheap and shitty CNC work is not paying attention to that, it is just for looks and bling effect. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
