The Nukeproof Horizon CS CRMO Trail Pedals are engineered for aggressive trail and enduro riding, where a balance of control, durability, and efficiency is paramount. The SPD compatible dual engagement mechanism ensures your foot stays securely connected to the pedal, allowing for powerful upstrokes and better control over rough terrain. The low profile contoured chassis and optimised leading edge are crucial for navigating technical sections, reducing the chance of pedal strikes on rocks and roots. The side support platform provides a reassuringly stable base, which is particularly beneficial when you're not fully clipped in or need extra support during high-speed descents. The robust T1-6061 alloy body and CrMo axle are built to withstand the rigors of trail riding, offering excellent impact strength and fatigue resistance. At 432g per pair, they are lightweight enough to not add unnecessary bulk, making them suitable for riders focused on performance and agility. Whether you're climbing steep ascents, descending challenging singletrack, or tackling jumps, these pedals are designed to deliver consistent, reliable performance.
Setup1. Prepare Crank Arms: Ensure your crank arm threads are clean. Applying a small amount of anti-seize compound or grease to the pedal threads is recommended to prevent seizing and allow for easier removal in the future.2. Identify Left and Right: Pedals are usually marked 'L' for left and 'R' for right. The left pedal has a reverse (left-hand) thread, so it tightens counter-clockwise. The right pedal has a standard (right-hand) thread, tightening clockwise.3. Installation: Carefully thread the pedals into the crank arms by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once finger-tight, use a pedal wrench (typically 15mm) or an appropriate hex key (often 6mm or 8mm) to tighten them securely. Do not overtighten, but ensure they are firm to prevent loosening during rides.4. Cleat Installation: Install SPD cleats onto your cycling shoes according to your shoe manufacturer's instructions, ensuring they are positioned for comfort and efficient power transfer. Adjust cleat tension on the pedals as desired for easier or firmer release.Compatibility* These pedals are SPD compatible, meaning they work with any cycling shoes that use the 2-bolt SPD cleat system. They are designed for trail riding and are compatible with mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and some touring bikes.Care* Cleaning: Regularly clean your pedals, especially after muddy rides. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the body and a small brush to remove dirt from the cleat mechanism. Avoid high-pressure washers directly on the bearings.* Lubrication: Periodically check the cleat mechanism and apply a light lubricant if it feels sticky or squeaky.* Bearing Maintenance: The pedals feature a proven axle system with 2 x high-quality DU bushings & 4 x sealed cartridge bearings. While sealed bearings reduce the need for frequent maintenance, they should be inspected annually or if you notice any play or grinding. If necessary, servicing should be done by a qualified bicycle mechanic.* Inspection: Regularly inspect the pedal body for damage, cracks, or excessive wear. Check that the axle is straight and free from bends. Ensure all bolts, especially those for cleat tension, are secure.
