I just got them 2 weeks ago and i think they are great. I use them on my DH bike and they have plenty of grip. They have a greese port on them and they come with a syringe that has a good supply of lube in it. Just add a little bit more every few months.

really good pedals,

However if you have the money it is worth getting the V12.

Get them in red Razz

strong, good grip, cheap

v12's have sealed bearings tho so are worth the extra cash, they also have replaceable pins if your arsed

dmr v 8s and v 12s arefine as long as you do not have over size 9 feet unless your feet are narow or they will hang of the side also in the v 12s they are sealed cartiges but there is no way of tightening them also don't botther with terroro pins they hold your foot of the pedals because they are so long 9 mm pertruding apart from these small things they are good pedals

V8's the bearing quickly die in them and then the pedal will spin uncontrollably and the axels aren't very strong (bent mine and so have my mates). The platform size isnt very big which is rather annoying if you have large feet. They grip nicely though. The V12's are defo worth the extra cash. Just make sure you regrease the bushings in them every couple of months to keep them running sweet.

V8's are prob the best pedal for 20 quid, also prob the pedal most people use. Like most people have been saying if you can get the v12's as they have better bearings, all the pins are replaceable, you get a proper medal end cap rather than a cheap plastic one, which gets shredded the first time you go to regrease the bearings. Also you can buy pimp my pedals for the v12's and customise them a bit more if thts your thing. The only thing with all the dmr pedals is that the paint just falls off the things after a few rides but apart from that there a pretty good pedal for the money.
