Thanks for this. The number of hours required to develop something like these flats and bring them into production at a competitive price must be staggering.
Thanks to this review, I know they exist. And I’d put them high on my list for future pedals.
Nerding out: when I built up my Starling Murmur, I chose the cheapest Crank Bros plastic Stamp pedals.
After a year, my first pair looked like they’d been swallowed by a wood chipper. Or used in a shotgun shootout. Now, I’m able to miss most rocks, roots, and stumps.
An easy mod on my Stamps: replace the M3x10mm carbon steel socket head cap screws with 12mm ones. Much better grip.
I learned by accident that grade 12.9 screws snap off although not too easily. Grade 8.8 are more ductile and fold over and/or rip a chunk right out of the pedal’s platform. For my putposes: grade 12.9 FTW.
PS: I learned here what “turducken” is — once I Googled that. Thanks for a great article.
