superox Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Looking for something bigger and grippier for my 16X that ships to EU, but whatever used to be there in the stores is now out of stock. All I see are some Aliexpress vendors with their own pedals, Hextech which is Russian and therefore possibly unavailable as well as expensive, and some French guy that makes bumpy inserts to stock pedals. Any idea if Kingsong might come out with their own versions of pedals, the ones that are attached to their anniversary edition of 16X?

Go buy some of this griptape https://viciousgrip.com/griptape/vicious-griptape-4-pack-10-x-11-squares-stickers/ and do some homework; peel of the old tape and apply this. The glue is so thick and sticky that you (if you are lazy) can apply the new tape direct up on the old. This will not make you pedals bigger, but they will get so sticky and mean, that riding barefoot is not an option, and it's nearly as good as spikes. https://viciousgrip.com/griptape/vicious-griptape-4-pack-10-x-11-squares-stickers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tawpie Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) I just got a set for my 16X... https://www.euc-custom-power-pads.com/nylonove-pedals Still in stock, €270 shipped to the US... I have no idea what they cost shipped to the EU, but the seller is in DE. (the magnets are backwards and repel the internal magnet, I haven't had a chance to see if the magnet in the pedal can be flipped or if the flipping has to happen inside the 16X) Edited October 22, 2022 by Tawpie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYIng something could be an option failing everything else, but they don't ship outside America. I would 100% wait, till you can get them. Honeycomb pedals are so much better then regular griptape. You got better grip, because "spikes". And you never have to clean the pedals, mud, sand, snow.. I personally exchanged the "spikes" to "hex socket screws". Those spikes where slashing/destroying my shoes bottoms. Even with "hex socket screws" the grip is way better than griptape.

Good to know the pedal ones can be flipped too (mine weren't wanting to come out and I didn't want to pry on them very much) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NyloNove is a Polish product, so there is no problem shipping to EU As I verified now, they are in store now - https://hulaj.market/en/nylonove/254-nylonove-for-kingsong-16x-overlays.html - you can use EUCWORLD as a promo code.

superox Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) The weather allowed me to try the Nylonove pedals out the first time. Was a bit apprehensive about it because with the helmet and all the protective gear I'm almost 130 kg. They didn't break, so so far so good. I'm careful about curbs and whatnot anyhow, but at least this careful riding they survived. Grip is definitely quite a bit better and after witnessing that they didn't immediately crush under my weight, they did allow a greater level of confidence. Even for things like sharp turns, surprisingly. Thought I did feel a mild shock absorption effect, too. I've got the version with overlays, and I'm still unsure which way should those go on. Toe part rised or the heel part? Tried it with raised toes this time, but will probably end up choosing neither and going with full flat pedals. As a small negative effect, since my riding shoes have fairly thin flat rubber bottoms, I think the soles of my feet hurt more than they used to. Need to try more and maybe switch to thicker soled footwear. Edited January 18, 2023 by superox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might make them a lot more comfortable on those big long rides. but might also suggest a level of flex that could eventually become weakness... I like the idea of Nylonoves, but in my case I am just happier knowing I have big chunks of metal under my boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superox Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 There is no obvious flex or bending, but I thought the shocks from low curbs and such were a little bit less, like 20%. As if the pedals were made of wood, roughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKW Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) I use these "BD" CNC pedals for my 16X. They are big, but they work good. They are similar to the Sherman-style pedals you see from Crab's pedals above, but they don't have that signature skinny heel section. If anything, You'd probably be better getting the Sherman-Style pedals that Crab shown because they are the same thing but skinnier on the heel, which give more space for maneuverability (although, the 16X ones are fine imo). I also have the Sherman-style pedals Crab has on my SherMax, so I own both. The spikes on them are quality and removable/adjustable. The pedals are quality. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803252661499.html?pdp_npi=2%40dis!USD!US %24179.99!%24179.99!!!!!%400b1b207816740733150313668e2cda!12000027000763288!btf&_t=pvid%3A5ac899eb-061c-4874-9069-0f963758a6b3&afTraceInfo=1005003438976251__pc__pcBridgePPC__xxxxxx__1674073315&spm=a2g0o.ppclist.product.mainProduct&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US Edited January 18, 2023 by BKW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had problems with my original pedal "spikes", they where to "edgy" if you know what i mean. My shoes bottoms got destroyed. (I like to move my feet around..) So i exchanged those spikes to regular Hex Socket Screws. The head being big enough made them not sink into shoes bottoms so much and not having knife like edge they didn't destroy my shoes bottoms anymore. You lost little bit of grip that original spikes had - they dig into your shoes.. Still it was way, way better than regular griptape. Maybe try out those screws? Easy and cheap. Try getting stainless steel ones. The heads of those screws alone are about ~4mm high. So you can screw them right down..

BKW Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Also, if you end up having trouble with floppy pedals then follow what Marty did in this video. I did, and to my surprise it works great! No more floppy pedals for both my SherMax and my 16X! And the magnets do not interfere with my ankles in anyway either Edited January 18, 2023 by BKW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flipped the magnet inside the shell for one of my pedals for the 16x as it was backwards... now that you mention it, i should have done it on the pedal instead! would have been easier lol...actually, not sure if the magnet has the screw groove on the other side of the magnet for the pedal...whatever.

superox Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Was trying to add magnets to make the pedals stay up while using a Roll.nz bodyguard.. and noticed that both integrated magnets on my Nylonove pedals were exactly wrong, and pushing away from the magnet in the shell instead of pulling closer :). No problem though, the Kingsong factory probably doesn't care which way their magnets are installed since theirs was made to cling to plain metal. It was a matter of undoing a single screw to flip the pedal magnet, so it couldn't be simpler. Now the pedals stay neatly up even with the bodyguard cover on. No extra magnets needed.
