E*thirteen Base Pedal

Yes, the 22 pins are fully replaceable. This is a crucial feature for a composite pedal, as it allows you to maintain consistent grip even if you damage a pin on a rock strike.

While aluminum pedals are generally stiffer and more resistant to rock gouges, these composite pedals are surprisingly resilient. They are designed to deflect impacts rather than dent, making them a reliable, long-term choice for aggressive trail riding.

The combination of an inboard bushing and outboard bearing is designed for longevity and ease of service. While they are built to withstand heavy use, you should occasionally check for play and re-grease the internals to keep them spinning smoothly.

This platform size is considered a standard, versatile footprint that suits most riders. It offers a stable, supportive base for technical terrain without being so wide that you risk frequent pedal strikes on narrow trails.

At 399g, these pedals sit in a reasonable middle ground. While you can find lighter options, the weight here reflects the robust heat-treated steel axle and durable composite construction, which prioritizes strength and longevity over absolute weight savings.
