To me, they look like they are grippier than any of the pedals in the current Ezy line.
Has anyone tested these Wellgo QRD's?
just got my set today. was my birthday present from my son.
they are lighter than either my MKS and the black generic folding pedals, but heavier than my track pedals.
i like the pull lock mechanism on the Wellgo,rather than the push ring that is standard on the MKS. i have the older MKS, so that needed the little yellow plastic tab to prevent the pedal from accidentally disengaging, although that has never happened to me. the MKS offered very little traction for flat sole shoes, and the pedals were downright dangerous when there was any rain. there is a top side and bottom side to this mks pedal. god help you if you stepped on the bottom side of the pedal in a storm, which unfortunately as their design would have it is the lighter side so will always be on top when you step onto the pedal. i've slipped off the bike, and banged my shins too many times with those pedals.
the Wellgo have a set of studs that offer a better grip, and from this thread will be interested in the possibility of using power straps if needed.
