![]() ![]() As it is, the Dagga's deliver an incredibly locked-in feeling, and once my feet were in place I didn't have to worry about them moving unless I wanted them to, no matter how chunky the trail. Now, not everyone will be a fan of having that much grip – riders that want to be able to reposition their feet more easily may want to consider removing some pins, or purchasing the shorter pins that Chromag uses on their other pedals. That's thanks to the fact that I've yet to fully slip a pedal – there's so much traction, especially when paired with Five Ten's sticky rubber, that sliding off the platform is highly unlikely. The Dagga's pins look menacing, but my shins have remained scab free over the last four months of usage. Chromag recommends using the Dagga's with thicker soled shoes, and I have to agree - these wouldn't be very comfortable with soft, floppy skate shoes. There are all sorts of opinions out there about the ideal Q-factor, but the position that the Dagga's put my feet in was comfortable and natural feeling, and the fact that there's no big bearing bulge next to the crank arm means there's plenty of possible foot positions. I also liked the wide stance that the Dagga's allow. Having a platform that matches the width of my shoe sole just makes sense – tiny platforms are best left to clipless pedals, or for riders with tiny feet. When it comes to flat pedal platform size, I'm a fan of the crop of larger-than-average offerings that have been released recently. All of the pins thread in from the opposite side with a 3mm hex head.
