FAQ

What is the Tectonic pin system and how does it differ from standard pins?

Tectonic pins run vertically through the pedal body and are secured by outboard set screws, allowing individual pins to be replaced quickly without removing the pedal from the bike. Traditional threaded pins are slower to replace and require more access clearance.

Do the Loam Pedals GEN 2 have fewer pins than the previous generation?

Yes. The GEN 2 reduced pin count from 22 to 12 per pedal by using the Tectonic geometry, which maximizes traction per contact point and makes each pin work harder without needing more of them.

Are the Loam Pedals GEN 2 suitable for different riding styles beyond enduro and trail?

Yes. The platform shape and pin layout are designed to support a wide range of foot placements and riding styles, making the Loam GEN 2 appropriate for XC, trail, enduro, and casual MTB riding.

Best For

Trail and enduro mountain bikers who want a premium flat pedal with genuinely serviceable pins and traction that holds up through wet, muddy, and abrasive conditions. Especially well-suited to riders who have dealt with broken or corroded pins on other platforms and want a pedal that is easier to maintain between seasons.
