Straightline Defacto Pedals

[Gdb49]

Any thoughts on the Straightline Defacto Pedals? Tops out my budget for pedals.

They are probably the best flats on the market period! Of course there are more expensive pedals out there that are lighter but for grip and strength you can’t find better. Pair them with a 5.10’s and you basically are clipped in, I removed the 4 center pins to cut down on the grip a little, I find they stick to good.

The only thing negative I can say is the pedal body can start to wear out on the spindle and get a fair amount of play, I just added a couple of spacers to take up the play. I should add that I have had mine for over 3 years and exchange them between my Bighit and my Stumpjumper so they get a fair bit of use.

In short you can’t go wrong with them..

I should add you can rebuild them in five minutes and no special tools need just a screwdriver….

Wow, that’s a great review. I can get a great deal on a pair and it’s nice to know their a great pedal.

If you can get a great then go for it, you will not be disappointed. Any chance you can throw the deal my way as well! 😃

Straitline pedals are flat out the best on the market if not right near the best!!! I fly with three flatpedals and only three…."Straitline, Epedo (Face-Off), and Azonic A’s (had the Azonics since 2007 and they are still rocking)."

You absolutely cannot go wrong with these flats by far!! 😄 Good luck and the best of shredding. 😉

Sorry about that, I thought I deleted the other one- it was in USA WEST which did not match. I will be more careful in the future.
