Pedal Grips

On a bit of a follow up to a point mentioned by Mark H's in his post re brake bias bars, what constitutes legal pedal grips?

Mark H used velcro to start but then swapped to rubbers (I'm guessing, correct me if I'm wrong Mark).

After seeing this I promptly cut diagonal groves into my pedals about 0.5mm deep and about 7-8mm apart to form a diamond pattern, and I've seen a picture somewhere of someone who welded some acne onto their pedals (sorry, can't remember who that was!). Will either of these be enough?

I actually used a self adhesive lumpy rubber strip. I think as long as its slip proof, it'll pass.

However - For a couple of quid, I'd get some of the lumpy rubber, or self adhesive sandpaper, whatever, just to be really clear for the examiner.

As we are getting to know, each has their own opinion on most subjective issues, and they might give you a couple of "benefits of the doubt" (i know mine did re exhaust noise!) - you don't want to waste one on something cheap.

Hope this helps, m8 (in fact if you live near leeds, you can have some of my strip - 've got a bit left!

Skateboard grip tape is the stuff you want, very grippy and self adhesive.

Cheers

I have drilled 6 holes in each pedal surface, will this do?

Donut,

Try the banana skin under the teflon soled shoe test (I'm trying to think like an SVA inspector) - if it fails you could always weld some acne on . See my pici's.

Cheers,

Colin

How about using some of those go faster ally pedal extensions that the maxpower type like so much?.Some are not to bad looking and even have optional rubber inserts to fit the holes.

If its anything like my pedal set up, you can hardly fit a rizla between the pedals let alone a full size pedal cover.

Donut - use grippy tape use grippy tape use grippy tape use grippy tape..........

Your local motor factors. You'll find it near the rest of the tapes. I don't know where you get skateboard grip from if you want to use that - skateboard shop?

I've u2u'd you.

Skateboard grip tape is nothing more than self adhesive wet and dry, so why not cut out the middle man? Just grab some coarse-ish wet and dry, slap some glue of your choice on the back (contact adhesive would probably be the best option) and stick it on your pedals. Job's a good un'.

It's more like emery than wet and dry (i.e. woven fabric backed rather than paper). Used to use this on my skateboard many years ago

The rubbers off Corsa pedals are perfect tight fit on MK pedals. Get from scrappy for nowt.
