Wellgo MG1s.

Very light (magnesium alloys) and last well with proper sealed bearings. They also happen to make much more expensive DMRs - the very similar V12s are about twice the price.

£30 should get you a pair.

I've got MG-1s too, really good for the money. You could also look at Superstar pedals too. My MG-1s have a little bit of play in them now but might just need adjusting.

A bit over your £30 budget, but great pedals - Shimano MX30's http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/mtb-bmx-bike/Peda...

Personally I found those Wellgo pedals too small, felt like my feet weren't on them enough. I replaced with SuperStar mag ones, much happier.

^^^ Superstar pedals seem to be very good value.

I just purchased some Shimano M424 from Decathlon sports, £29.99 including cleats... Seem pretty good for what I want them for.

Another for V8's. Great pedals especially with terrorpins fitted. Painful though!

IIRC you can't replace 1/2 the pins on the current V8s, which is beyond stupid given how easily the pins can be mashed/ripped out. At least the grease port spares you the misery of worn bushings a la V12s.

Another one for the V8's - coupled with Five-Ten's they are great (although if you do slip off the pedal it hurts, I have scars on my calfs to prove it). I bought mine in Nov and the pins are removable/adjustable, also they are bomb proof - I have given them a good wallop against marker stones and stumps and so far no damage.

I used to replace the pins with a set of wood screws. Make sure you wear thick shin pads..very grippy, very sharp.
