I have been a DMR Vault guy for as long as I can remember. No matter what I test I always seem to come back to Vaults. However, when 6 weeks ago Owen threw some brand new PNW Range Composite pedals in my lap on Keeper Hill I decided I had better try them. Here’s what I found; Immediately I noticed a high level of grip when paired with my Five Ten shoes. The pedalling was easy and the pull on the upstroke was good. The pedal ..read more
