Product Information
Full details
The Deity Deftrap MTB Flat Pedals are designed for mountain bikers seeking a high-performance, durable flat pedal that mimics the geometry of premium options at a more accessible price point. Featuring a symmetrical, non-offset design and a robust nylon composite build, these pedals offer excellent stability and mud-shedding capabilities for aggressive riding. While they excel in durability and grip, riders should note that the nylon construction may feel different underfoot compared to traditional CNC-machined aluminum platforms.

FAQs
Are the pins replaceable?
The 8 steel pins per side are replaceable. The 2 nylon pins are fixed and cannot be removed.
What is the total weight of the pedals?
The Deity Deftrap pedals weigh 391 grams per pair.
Can these pedals be used for downhill racing?
Yes, they are designed to handle aggressive terrain and feature a robust construction suitable for gravity-oriented riding.
Do I need a special tool to install them?
No, they can be installed using a standard 8mm hex wrench (Allen key).
What is the advantage of the non-offset design?
The symmetrical, non-offset design provides more consistent weight distribution and a balanced feel compared to offset platforms.
How thick are the pedals?
The platform is 18mm thick, providing a balance between durability and ground clearance.
Troubleshooting
Pedal rotation feels stiff or gritty
Clean the area around the spindle and check the bearing seal; if stiffness persists, the internal DU bushing may require fresh grease.
Pins are losing grip over time
Inspect the 8 replaceable steel pins for wear and replace them if the threads are stripped or the pin head is rounded off.
Audible clicking or creaking while pedaling
Ensure the pedals are properly tightened to the crank arm and verify that the crank arm bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior mud and snow shedding for wet riding conditions
- Extremely durable 20% stronger nylon composite material
- Stable 113mm x 103mm platform size
- Easy to maintain with sealed bearings and DU bushings
Cons
- Nylon body lacks the stiffness of machined aluminum
- Fixed nylon pins are not replaceable if damaged
- Heavier than high-end carbon or thin-profile magnesium pedals
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Deftrap pedals is straightforward using a standard 8mm hex wrench. Always apply a thin layer of grease to the pedal threads before installing them into your crank arms to prevent seizing over time.
- Compatibility: Compatible with all standard 9/16" mountain bike crank arms.
- Maintenance: Check the pedal pins periodically to ensure they are tight. If a steel pin is bent or worn down, it can be easily unscrewed and replaced with a standard flat pedal pin.
- Cleaning: Simply rinse with water and a mild detergent. Avoid high-pressure washers near the sealed bearing area to prevent moisture ingress.
