\"spank-oozy-trail-pedal\"<\/a>When Spank’s Spike flat pedal was introduced in 2011, it was an instant hit with the downhill and freeride crowd, who were won over by the pedal’s thin and wide platform. Now, almost four years later, Spank has launched their Oozy Trail pedal<\/a>, which shares many of the design principles of the Spike, but in a lighter package aimed at trail and all-mountain riders\u2026<\/p>\n

Pinkbike\u2019s take<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Oozy Trail pedals have held up to a summer’s worth of use and abuse, shrugging off a number of direct impacts that had me expecting the worse. A few pins did need to be replaced, but that comes with the territory when smashing through rock gardens aboard a bike with an extremely low bottom bracket height. Like the Spike pedals, the Oozy Trails do have a slight bit of resistance built in to prevent them from spinning wildly should your foot slip off, but this resistance wasn’t noticeable at all while pedaling, and the bushings and bearings are still spinning smoothly.<\/p>\n

The grip provided by the Oozy’s wide platform is excellent, with plenty of traction on tap no matter what kind of nastiness I was riding through\u2026When it comes down to it, the Oozy is a worthy addition to Spank’s flat pedal lineup, a slightly refined version of the Spike that meets all the criteria for a well-executed flat pedal: thin, light, and above all, reliable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
