Wolftooth introduced their waveform pedals last winter and sent us a pair along with an Arctodus steel fat bike that they loaned us. I started riding the waveform pedals on that Arctodus and then moved them to a corner unit singlespeed where they provided further duty. Pedals truly take a beating on mountain bikes, and […]

Esker Pedal Review by Ronsta
Esker Pedals by Framed Bikes One of the great things about bicycles is freedom. Freedom to go wherever you want under your own power. For some that means going wherever you want, whenever you want, wearing whatever you want. Wanna ride the beach in your sandals and swimwear? Go for it. Breaking trail in the […]
iSSi Stomp XL Review
ISSI Stomp XL Pedal Review The iSSi Stomp XL pedal landed here in Wales from their HQ in Minneapolis. The Stomp XL is their first attempt at a platform pedal and first impressions are they look and feel great. They are available in four different colours from black, plum, lime and blue. The platform is […]
Issi Pedal Review by Steve Meurett
The ground is covered with white-the first snowfall here in western Wisconsin. It won’t last to be sure, but it does get the heart pumping for fatbike season. Actually, there is no “fatbike season”….the fattys roll all year, as it should be now-a-days. But, the snow does remind us that bikes, clothing and gear need […]
RaceFace Atlas Pedal – Long Term Review
Seven Months ago, I threaded a set of RaceFace Atlas platform pedals onto my Fatback, and it’s probably time to check in and show how they’re holding up! I introduced the RF Atlas pedals in a Product Spotlight back in May 2014. I ride flats all year long and I’ve been kind of spoiled for the last few […]
1st Look – VP Components VP-001 Pedals
Last September out in the Nevada desert, at the Outdoor Dirt Demo, just before Interbike, The dudes from VP components had the kind of luck(?) to find themselves, next door to the Surly tent, which also gave them front row seats to watching Cheaver, Chewie, Spinner, Dave Nice, Cale, Dirty and I get day drunk […]

Fyxation Mesa 61 Pedals
This is a preview of the Fyxation Mesa 61 pedals that Nick from Fyxation dropped off a couple of weeks ago for us to check out. The Fyxation Mesa 61 Pedal is very similar to Fyxation’s other Mesa offerings in size, with a modified shape, but is made from 6061 Aluminum for more aggressive fat-bike […]

fyxation Mesa Pedal: AK Approved, so far…
Wide, light, grippy, and a good feel underfoot. What more could you ask for in a pedal? Durability, maybe, but I’m pretty sure high-impact nylon has proven itself in so many other applications that I have no worries here. I most recently took these pedals on a 100 mile backcountry ride on winter trails through […]
Tested! – Pedal Bondage – Pedal and Strap Combos
Thanks to our contributor from Rockford, Craig Smith for this test report on a couple of pedals and retentions systems! Here goes: Flat pedals are numero uno in the Fat-Bike pedal scene.
