CrankbrothersStamp Flat MTB Pedals - Size-Specific, Lightweight, Versatile, Durable Bike Pedals

I’ve had these pedals for about a month now and they’ve already taken some pretty hard hits on rocks and roots. They hold up well and provide good grip on my vans shoes. I highly recommend

I bought these pedals, along with a carbon fiber seatpost and carbon fiber handlebars, to reduce the weight of my 9 year old's Mountain Bike; she regularly rides 15-20 mile rides in the hills, and the less weight she needs to drag up the hill, the better. Most kids' Mountain Bikes are ridiculously heavy compared to their body weight (30 lb bikes for 50lb children) so these pedals, as part of a few upgrades I did, helped get her new bike down to 22lbs!

Is it just a bike pedal? Nope! If you have never upgraded from your old plastic cheap pedals that come with your bike, then you’re very much limiting the capabilities of your bike and yourself. Ride better, ride more!

You can find them often on sale for $30-35, and for that price they are a very good composite pedal. They look good and the color (we have the blue ones) is vibrant, my only negative being the slotted spindle cap (for a flat screwdriver), which looks cheap and a bit outdated. An hex cap would have been better.In terms of grip, they are pretty good (when paired to a proper MTB shoe, like FiveTen) but not as good as the RaceFace Chester. The Stamp has 9 pins per side, but 4 of them are strangely located near the spindle and don't stick out too much, so they don't bite much into the shoe. The Chester instead has 8 pins but they are all positioned away from the spindle and they stick out more, offering more grip.At the end, I'd say: if you really want your feet to be locked on the pedals, the Chester are a better choice. If instead you want a bit more forgiving platform, the Stamp are a good option (and are also cheaper).

I wanted to upgrade my stock Wellgo pedals (first pic) with something larger for my big feet. After reviewing every large platform pedal on the market I ordered these "Stamp 1" composites in size L. The other contender was the OneUp Composite but several reviewers stated that riders could feel the spindle bulge thru their shoe so I opted for the Crank Bros. one.Here are my Pros and Cons-Pros:1) Decent size foot bed but the actual dimensions are 110 x 110. If you used large calipers they probably measure 115mm due to the offset design but the foot bed is 110mm.2) The semi-raised (convex) spindle has not been an issue for me and I ride with the ball of my foot on the spindle, not like real mountain bike riders over the arch.3) The pedals spin freely, or close to it, right out of the box. Not tight at all, which is generally a sign of quality. I know very little about the entire spindle assembly but the exploded view looks impressive. Crank Bros. even sells a Refresh Kit for those who log many miles.4) Since the traction pins are set at their highest setting, grip was very good while seated and like Super-Glue when out of the saddle.5) There are 9 traction pins on each side. The asymmetrical layout places 3 at the front, 2 at the back, and 4 near the spindle. At first I thought this would be an issue since I'd always be looking down to get the right side of the pedal up. But it always has 3 pins forward no matter which side of the pedal you're on.6) It feels very solid for a composite pedal. I have not experienced any bend, even toward the front or back, away from the spindle.7) One other thing worth mentioning, and is not a pro or con, is that one pedal (left) says Stamp_1 on it and the other pedal (right) has the Crank Bros. logo on it.8) Without being an expert, but having owned numerous bikes and pedals, the weight of these pedals seems good to me. Neither featherweight nor heavy. Just about right for the size I would say.Cons:1) I did not need an instruction manual and none comes with the pedals. They tell you to go to the Crank Bros. website for details. The website suggests a torque setting for tightening but their photo shows a non-torque hex wrench. There is no wrench flat/spindle nut on the pedals so I'm not sure how easy these will be to take off later with just a hex wrench.2) The distance between the pedal and the crank arm is minimal (see pic). This somewhat defeats the purpose of buying a larger pedal. I almost feel like my ankle bone will hit the crank arm. So I ride with 1/2" of pedal showing on the inside to compensate.3) Since I ride a hybrid-type bike, I backed out some of the traction pins to about 67% height. However, it seems like there is no version of Loctite on the threads, so I feel like the pins may vibrate out at some point. This seems like an oversight. If anyone has experience in this area I would love to hear from you.4) The pedals were shipped in a cheap gray plastic bag, no padding. I was fortunate to receive mine undamaged.Overall these are pretty solid pedals. If the spacing between the pedal and crank arm was a little wider, and I felt that the traction pins would stay in, I would have provided a 5 Star rating.

I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced set of pedals to upgrade my bike for a while. This offering from Crank Brothers was exactly what I needed. The metal spikes keep my feet secure and in place and they provide a nice splash of color to my ride. Very pleased with my purchase and would happily recommend them.

First off the things I like about these pedals-The large size is really quite large, great for bigger feet. Crank Bros says for US mens 10-15-Easy to install with an 8mm hex-Less than 400 grams for the pair is very light for such a large pedal-Under $40 is a nice price-Easy to adjust foot position while ridingThings I don't like-The middle of the pedal is significantly raised compared to the ends and you can feel this under foot-The axle length from crank arm to pedal body is way too short. This makes the inside pins almost useless-So due to the raised middle and the pedal body to close to the crank arms, the inside and middle pins are rendered less effective (if even effective at all).-Traction overall due to the design is average at bestSo I would say if you ride casual to moderate trails and don't do any significant jumping then these pedals would be just fine. The large platform provides lots of room for big feet. But once you start hitting more advanced trails that include large obstacles, drops, or jumps then the traction issues due to some questionable design may be an issue...YMMVIn my opinion there are better pedals in the same price range or less that provide more grip even with a smaller platform.

Have changed the way i ride. Almost no slippage while on trails and technical stuff. Jumps fell great on landing on these large pedals. If you wear a shoe larger than 10 buy these and don't worry about pedals again.

Edit to add, one pedal seized. Seal failed, water got in, rusted internals. Came apart ok although there’s no line of site from the end to get a torx allen style key in, had to use torx bit and an 8(?) mm spanner but as you undo the screw it winds out onto the body so you can’t fully remove the screw with the bit all the way, so had to use pliers with a rag on the jaws 😄 see how the warranty works out now thenMy size 12s always mean I have to ride a bit pigeon toed or my heals catch the cranks. Not with these in large. Nice natural potion for the feat. Big platform. Shallow depth. Loads of grip … but careful you don’t catch the grub screw studs with they are sharp. Maybe they will wear in but if you pedal strike the ground that could break a grub screw and give a lethal edge maybeThey did not tighten fully home in the crank arms tough which is odd. Must check that

Review of Stamp-1 - not more expensive Stamp variations.After 9 months of use, the bearings on these size Large Stamp-1 pedals are shot, producing an annoying click on every rotation.There is noticible play on the shaft and grease has escaped, most likely the cause.My bike is not a daily, so average approx 10miles a week on light XC trails. I would not recommend them on this basis, though to be fair the platforms look barely worn. Will be contacting Amazon (supplier) regarding warranty claim, though wouldnt want another pair.

The good.. Large pedal area. Excellent build quality. Very sturdy for composite pedals. Very smooth and seemingly weather proof bearings. Nice packaging. The not so good.... The very thin pedal profile in theory should minimize pedal strikes but this design means a very pronounced ridge to the middle of the pedal which comprises grip. The pins are a little short too. As with all tactile bike components this can be down to personal preference. Try before you buy if possible.

The pedals are nicely designed and slim; I was constantly hitting rocks on technical climbs with shimano saint. Not with those (amazing what few millimetres difference can do). The graphics are awesome on the left pedal (just the CB logo) and ugly on the right one (big fat stamp name). Shame. The pedals are very stiff. Those plastic bushings are rubbish as far as friction goes. If they last, it will be worth the trade off. So far so good (15 rides). There are only 6 replacement anyway (come one CB, shimano provide like 40 in two different sizes). The only way to shorten the pins is to screw them deeper (hem), which will make them impossible to replace once damaged. Overpriced pedalse (as all crank brothers products) average design, average performances, but slim and light..

After one-too-many tumbles / injuries on SPD's I finally decided enough was enough. I am also sick of reserving specific shoes & cleats to ride. Bought Large / Black combo for my Trek Roscoe and couldn't be happier. Very (VERY) high quality engineering. Easy self-fit.My preferred combo now these with Adidas Terrex X-Trail shoe. Super comfortable / optimisable (reverse x 10 x allen key grip adjust) for the wet and slippy. Honestly debatable whether I'm slower, but more importantly I feel safe and am enjoying my rides again. Can get my foot off quickly in an emergency & since my cycling now underpins the other major passion of photography - these pedals are a much more practical solution for me.
