Personally I wouldnt go for v12s cos i think they feel small with the "cut" sortof corners but mechanically there mint. And Id strongly recommend not getting 5050's unless you love tightening the plates after everyride. So that would leave atomlab!!!At the end of the day its personal preferance

I reckon 50/ 50.Theyre not too small but not too big,They have great grip and are well designed.

Aircorps have more Win IMHO, nice and thin, the revised axles don't tihs themselves every second ride, and the green is a sweet colour, and heaps of grip
if not the Aircorps then i'd go DMR, nice shape, a classic pedal, I've had several sets of them over the last 10 years, they're mint

i would highly reccomend against aircorps. although they are mint looking pedals and have pretty good grip, the mechanics are terrible. anyone with them will be able to tell you about the time that they were riding along and all of a sudden they, as Wobbler likes to call it, "asploded" off the spindle. this happend to my mate while he was riding along the road and i have heard several other stories about them aswell. at the moment im running the 5050xx and i must say they are one sweet pedal, they have good grip, a nice big platform and look pretty good. iv never had a problem with having to tighten the plates eitha, a bit of thread look fixes that

Get 5050xx's with extra long pins they are insanely grippy and sealed. Atomlabs are unsealed (I think?) which isn great for DH. My mate has some and he snapped a spindle to but they do feel great... Otherwise get the DMR's but I personally find them too circular sort of. easton flatboys look nice to

Might be worth considering Funn soljams. I bought a set and with the long pins, you'll never need more grip. Nice and wide platform too.

i concur, b-57 are awesome. 5050xx are decent. i used to use v8s but they were too small for my liking.
