Does anyone out there run any of their parts?

From everything I have seen in person, and online, everything they make looks super legit.

I am mainly interested in the Wide N' Wild SP bars.

660mm width, 45mm rise, either 10 or 3 degree back sweep. They are 100 grams more than the Answer Pro-Tapers (1" rise, 50g's more than the 2" rise)

What do you guys think?

These or the pro-tapers.

FSA DH400.

But seriously, Woodman seems to be on top of their game for components. They also offer a wide range of parts and accessories. I was just on the phone with them today checking on fork bumpers.

Dean, I would really appreciate it.

I also want any info on the pedals. Mainly the crucial spikey ones. Think they will be worth the 50 grams over the Atomlab Lexan pedals?

I am thinking about both when my Snafu's finally screw the pooch.

Crazy guy - Thank you for that. I was curious about the cracking. I appreciate it. I will attempt a pro-deal on the Woodman pedals. They look uber sexy :thepimp:

yeha i just busted my block8's , im thinking of getting either the woodman spikeys, or the atomlab aircorps. I cant really decide, i dont know about the "spikes" on the woodmans, they look like they wont last to long… and dont look like they'll grip to well… :s

yea, I have a feeling that Woodman is hardcore about their products. I have never seen broken woodman stuff.

I am torn between the Woodman pedals and the Aircorp's (or some Sun ZUZU's). All three are about the same weight.

I think if you have any form of tread on your shoes (i.e. not completely flat) then the Woodman spikes will be pretty good. I have some DC's that have the pill pattern sole. I'll give them a shot and write a review.

The Aircorps are Atomlab's racing pedal and more lightweight then strong. If you're breaking pedals, the Trailking would be a better choice…

Burnwood -

Do you think the additional few grams for the Woodman pedals are worth it over the Aircorps? Would you sacrifice a few grams more for the Trail Kings? I want light weight and strength.

woodman's components are catalogue parts from taiwan mostly, so they're prety good quality. they do some modifications, like the pointy pegs in the stock welgo pedal.

i'd trust a company that makes their own handlebars if that's what you're looking for.

THIS JUST IN:
I jsut got a "early" birthday present, along with the bar and stem my borther purchased he purchased some woodman spikey pedals, when he got home from calgary he found out i busted my pedals and was using his, so he gave me my birthday present, YAY!i got woodman spikys!! SOOO nice, awomse grip, havnt tryed them to much but WOW, pretty low profile, nice and big.

Also, his bars and stem, he got the 35mm stem, it fells pretty much the same as my funn serial killa/fatboiy slim combo, wiht a little more sweep it seams, very nice combo, nive looking and feeling. i'd get them, but with the longer stem
