DMRv8 pedals

Would these pedals be a decent upgrade from the stock pedals i have on my Rockhopper?

or any others anyone could recommend

cheers

I don't know what you've got on there now but I've had 3 pairs of those pedals and liked them. I found them grippy with trainers in the mud and wet. I've got a scabby pair you can borrow if you want to try before you buy.

If I ever get my mtb fettled again I think I'd be looking to go clipless but they were an improvement on what I was using previously.

They did bite me occasionally but that could have been poor riding skills.

I like them a lot. I have them on my commuter and my XC bikes. Very good value IMHO.

I also have them on my hard tail, 18 months happy use from me

Cheers everyone, looks like i'll be ordering some of these then !

They're dearer than I'd want to pay but I do like the look of these.

Just a word of advice though. The paint on V8s tends to wear quickly and look shabby. Get the plain alloy ones if you're worried about looks.

(Great pedals by the way, especially the fact that you can regrease the spindle bearings without stripping them)

Just be careful of the studs. They ripped a pair of my trainers and a hole in my shin.

Just to Echo that be careful with the studs, if your foot slips of the pedal in the wet they can make a mess of your shin thats one of the reasons I went clipless.

Same here. Had a nasty incident where they tore a couple chunks of flesh from a shin, A&E job. Went clipless straight afterward.

I have those. The only problem I've had is that the removable pins can remove themselves. If they do just buy M4 8mm grub screws as they are cheaper and easier to get than the official DMR pins (tried buying them from evans who sent me the longer 10mm pins, when I contacted them they checked the other pins, swore they were 8mm and then sent me another bag of 10mm terror pins )
Some folks suggest the Wellgo equivalents as better value.
