Hi! Just got new pedals "WellGo".(for the first time After I changed it from original) After a day of riding and several jumps they started to make some crazy wibrations. It's not a noice, you can just feel it through the leg. I say they F*&$% U* and need to be changed. Am I rite or its normal? My use my bike For DH and Climbing, any tips on other brands i can use?

Wow, never heard "DH" and "Climbing" in the same sentence before:D
well, I don't make 150, 000 a year to have a bike for every kind of track, but I still want to have fun.

from what i've heard problems with wellgo clipless spd copy pedals are quite common and most people decide to pay the extra $$ in the end to get some better manufactured ones. If in doubt take them back to the store you got them from, it sounds like they're faulty to me though
If you had done a search here, you would've no doubt ran across my scathing review on Wellgo pedals. As a project for a manufacturing engineering course a couple of years ago, I fully disassembled a Wellgo pedal (after the other one brok on the second ride!!), and made many observations as to the quality of the castings, bearings, fit, etc. I can personally attest to the fact that Wellgo pedals are of very low quality. The castings are haphazard, the bearings are cheap, and the assembly is awful. I wouldn't use a Wellgo pedal if I was given one for free!

I purchased wellgo pedals for my road bike (and still use them) and yes like D*Alex posted, they are cheaply made (this is why they are less expensive) however, I have used them for about a year now and have had relativly few problems... Yet I will be upgrading soon to a good quality look pedals, so in the long run you might as well dish out the extra money and purchase some quality pedals. So if you can, I'd try to return the wellgo pedals you purchased and get something better. :)
