Advantages and Disadvantages of Wellgo MG-1 Pedals
The most impressive thing about MG-1 pedals is how light they are for the price. Generally to get pedals this light you have to spend a lot more than $50-60. The pedals also provide a lot of traction which is important for BMX and downhill riding. Weight and traction are two essential factors of any BMX pedal and the MG-1s more than hold their own against other, more expensive, alternatives.
A big advantage of Wellgo MG-1 pedals is the price. It’s possible to buy used MG-1 pedals for around $30 online and they can be bought new at around $50 in some cases. Compared to other BMX pedals that boast a similar weight this is a good price.
One decision you’ll have to make is whether you want clipless pedals or not. MG-1 pedals aren’t clipless which may be a disadvantage to some although it mainly comes down to personal preference. Platform pedals have a number of advantages over clipless pedals – especially for BMX riding.
One downside that some people have found to the MG-1 pedals is that they dent relatively easily. This, however, isn’t a major problem and is mainly down to aesthetics rather than performance. The pedals also aren’t considered to be the sturdiest around although they can stand up to a reasonable amount of stress and strain. This lack of strength may be a consequence of the fact that the pedals are so light so you need to decide which is more important to you – durability or weight. The pedals are made out of magnesium which is why they aren’t as strong as some other alternatives.
