HT's Fresh Pedals - Core Bike Show 2017
PA03A Nylon Flat Pedal
Plastic pedals, or glass reinforced nylon pedals to be more precise, have grown in popularity over the last few years with an increasing volley of manufacturers offering this robust alternative to aluminum in their range. HT's PA03A pedals offer a huge platform bristling with ten replaceable pins, a chromoly axle and come in at a claimed weight of 350g per pair.
Going down the reinforced nylon route not only allows manufacturers to explore new manufacturing techniques, it also helps keep the price down with this burly and resoundingly large offering coming in at 34.99GBP.
Don't like black, no problem as the PA03A comes in 8 colors to suit all tastes and persuasions...
It might be 'budget' but the PA03A has been designed with longevity in mind with fully serviceable innards.
D1 Duo Pedal
If you've always wanted a pedal that was clipless on one side and a regular flat pedal on the other, HT has your back with their new D1 offering. The advantages of such a pedal might not be immediately apparent to many, but considering the soft rubber soles used by many shoe manufacturers for their clipless shoes, why not turn this to your advantage? If you frequent steep and technical trails where being unclipped could be advantageous when negotiating certain sections of trail, the D1's could well be the ticket. While they might not be for everyone, it's great to see a brand like HT offer such a unique product, more commonly found in the commuter market, but designed for the rigors of mountain biking and one we're certainly keen to get into the field for testing.
With replaceable pins on both sides and retaining the same chassis as the Aaron Gwin approved X2, the D1 is a serious pedal.
Available in HT's dizzying array of colors, the D1 also comes with the tools needed to keep them spinning like new.
Weighing in at 338g (pair, claimed weight) and retailing for 101.99GBP, HT's D1 pedals are light and bang on the money too.

Poor info from PB or HT? - It reads as if HT are only just going down this route.
What I don't understand though is how what I have written is a negative statement to some, unless you wrote this article of course.
Simple 'fact' is - HT make pedals for a huge number of brands out there and the plastic pedal was released a long time ago, this is not HT's entry into the market by a long stretch - They are ahead of the curve.
You seem to have missed the point however. Your original post mentions no facts, as you yourself say 'maybe' and 'probably', which shows that you are not even sure that what you are saying is 100% true. Now suddenly you are. A complete turnaround in one message.

Apologies for not stating fact in a manner you find satisfactory, How could I have stated fact when I was not the author of the article or 100% sure about the exact brands being referred to? Are you arguing because you disagree with what I was saying or just for the sake of it?
Oh, where did that 'downvote' that seems so important to you go? As you were.
How could you have stated a fact without being the author of the article?
The answer is, by stating a fact. It isn't hard to do, you don't need to be the author of an article to argue a fact you know. If something is a fact then you don't say maybe or probably when talking about it. As it gives the impression that you aren't even sure yourself. It isn't difficult to grasp (well, to you it is seemingly).
As for downvotes, I know, silly me eh, I mean when I commented you had been downvoted by others. And you took instant offence to what was a very simple and innocent comment about why those people may have done that at that point.
They certainly have been making these things for other people for a long time.
Even for roadies this is good news. Now you can ride your bike with spd when you go out for a training, but you can still use your bike to ride to work with without having to carry your normal shoes in your backpack.
Wellgo and Time are good brands though.
Switching pedals is good if you do it every now and then, but switching pedals on a weekly base will eventually probably ruin the threads on your cranks, which are expensive to replace.
The wellgo ones are a decent platform pedal, but is not really thin
If there only would be a decent weight clipless pedal with the turning cage feature, that does not cost a fortune. DMR eff'd it up in that respect imo.
