The DMR V6's are very good too, a bit lighter than the V8's, and a bit cheaper, no removable pins though, and non replaceable bearings, but I have run them for over a year in all weathers, grit, mud etc and still greatUsually I like the small metal caged ones but so far pleased with these DMR V8 Mountain Bike Pedals on my Voodoo Marasa I recently purchased.
