Description
A bicycle pedal with a non-slip insert on both sides made of patented SANDBLOCK® material, a durable polypropylene axle housing, and a cage, specifically designed for use on electric bicycles. It can also be used on city, trekking, and hybrid bikes. The "lightweight" ball bearing system provides significant savings in weight and height
The pedals are each equipped with integrated approved reflectors on both sides and a closed bearing system . Type of pedal
"2 component pedal", which consists of:
a black polypropylene axle housing and cage (one piece)
The extra-large "anti-slip" insert in the cage is made of gray TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). Ball bearing
Adjustable and lightweight ball bearing system, according to the "ball & cone" principle, on both sides
With 14 x 3/32" ball bearings on both sides Axle
Boron steel, heat treated to 75HRA (+/-3) With 9/16"- 20 TPI thread Reflectors
Integrated into the cage of the pedal
Approved according to BS, JIS, TPP, as well as the German StVZO standards Dimensions
222* x 90 x 27 mm (*length x width x height)
*length = maximum length of pedal mounted (part that protrudes beyond the crankset) Weight
364 gr/per set Standard
The pedal complies with the ISO standard. ISO 4210-8: "Cycling - Safety requirements for bicycles - Pedal and crankset test methods" SANDBLOCK Sandblock® is the official Marwi-registered trademark for a patented composition of materials that forms a wear-resistant, perfect anti-slip insert for pedals. The material's anti-slip properties are guaranteed, even when wet or stained with oil or grease. This anti-slip insert is inseparable from the pedal thanks to a special, waterproof technology. UNION SANDBLOCK® pedals feature an extra-large anti-slip insert (for more direct contact with the cyclist's shoe) and are specially designed for use on e-bikes. The advantages of this high-quality SANDBLOCK® anti-slip insert are:
A very good anti-slip function, much better than that of the usual TPR (rubber) insert
Significantly more wear resistance compared to the usual TPR (rubber) insert The anti-slip function remains optimal, even when the material surface is wet or stained with oil or grease. The SANDBLOCK® anti-slip surfaces are highly wear-resistant, water-resistant, and firmly bonded to the robust polypropylene cage of the pedal using a new, patented technology. Compared to the self-adhesive sandpaper versions of pedals used, this strong bond is waterproof and cannot be separated or removed from the pedal. Technical details and test results:
Various laboratory tests prove that the SANDBLOCK® cannot be separated or removed from the pedal cage, even when using tools.
The anti-slip function of the SANDBLOCK® has much better performance than the standard anti-slip material made of sandpaper
An anti-slip durability test shows that with a load of 30 kg and at 10,000 cycles, the material wears off only 0.25 mm When using standard sandpaper, this already shows signs of wear after 20 cycles. SANDBLOCK® does not do this.
Standard sandpaper is easily separated from the pedal's polypropylene cage. This isn't the case with SANDBLOCK®. By using SANDBLOCK® material instead of TPR or standard sandpaper, these UNION pedals offer an even higher level of safety for cyclists in all weather conditions.
