Product Information
Full details
The Deity Deftrap MTB Flat Pedals are designed for mountain bikers of all skill levels who demand a stable, high-grip platform for aggressive trail riding and technical descents. Built with a durable nylon composite construction, these pedals offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and a 2mm concave shape that keeps feet locked in place on rough terrain; however, they lack the extreme impact resistance of premium aluminum-bodied pedals, making them better suited for trail use rather than heavy-duty downhill racing.

FAQs
Are the nylon pins replaceable?
No, the two nylon pins per side are integrated into the pedal body design and are not replaceable.
Can I use these pedals for downhill racing?
While durable, these are optimized for trail and all-mountain riding. For dedicated downhill use, many riders prefer the higher impact resistance of the Deity TMAC aluminum pedals.
Do these pedals come with replacement steel pins?
No, replacement pins are sold separately through Deity or standard bike shop hardware.
What is the total weight of the set?
The pair weighs 391 grams.
Are these pedals compatible with all crank arms?
Yes, they use a standard 9/16" x 20 TPI pedal thread, which fits virtually all modern mountain bike cranks.
Troubleshooting
Pedal feels tight or does not spin smoothly
Check if the pedal is overtightened against the crank arm; ensure there is a thin washer used if the crank manufacturer requires one.
Excessive play or wobble in the pedal body
The internal DU bushing may need servicing or the locknut on the spindle may have loosened; check for lateral movement and tighten if necessary.
Pins are losing grip over time
Remove the steel pins and clean the threads, then check for excessive wear on the pin tips; replace with new pins if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard 8mm hex key. When installing, apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads to prevent seizing over time. Always ensure the 'Left' and 'Right' indicators on the spindle are checked, as the left pedal is reverse-threaded. To care for the pedals, clean them periodically with a soft brush and mild soap to remove dried mud. If the rotation becomes sluggish, the DU bushing and bearing system should be inspected, though their sealed nature significantly limits contamination. If pins become worn, use a standard pin wrench or hex key to unscrew the 8 steel pins per side and replace them with standard M4 pins.
