A bicycle pedal with an “anti-slip” insert made of patented SANDBLOCK® material on both sides, a durable polypropylene axle housing and cage, specially designed for use on electric bikes. Also suitable for city, trekking, and hybrid bikes. FUNCTIONS
The “lightweight” ball bearing system provides a significant saving in weight and height.
The pedals are each equipped with integrated approved reflectors on both sides and a closed bearing system. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Pedal type: 2-component pedal, which consists of:
A black polypropylene ash housing and cage (one piece)
The extra-large “anti-slip” insert in the cage is made of a grey or black SANDBLOCK® material. Ball bearing
Adjustable and lightweight ball bearing system, based on the “ball & cone” principle, on both sides
With 14 x 3/32″ ball bearings on both sides As
Boron steel, heat-hardened to 75HRA (+/-3)
With 9/16″- 20 TPI thread Reflectors
Integrated into the pedal cage
Approved reflector according to BS, JIS, TPP, as well as the German StVZO standards (K 368) Dimensions 118* x 88 x 24 mm (*length x width x height) *length = maximum length of the mounted pedal (part protruding beyond the crankset) Weight 341 g/per set Standardization The pedal complies with the ISO standard, ISO 4210-8: “Bicycles – Safety requirements for bicycles – Test methods for pedals and cranksets” SANDBLOCK® SANDBLOCK® is het officiële door Marwi geregistreerde beeldmerk van een gepatenteerde samenstelling van materialen dat een slijtvaste perfecte anti-slip inzet vormt voor pedalen. De anti-slip werking van het materiaal is gegarandeerd, ook wanneer het nat of besmeurd is met olie of vet. Deze anti-slip inzet is door een speciale, watervaste technologie niet van het pedaal te scheiden. De UNION SANDBLOCK® The pedals feature an extra-large anti-slip insert (resulting in more direct contact with the cyclist's shoe) and are specially designed for use on e-bikes. The benefits of these high-quality SANDBLOCK® anti-slip inserts are:
A very good anti-slip function, much better than that of the usual TPR (rubber) insert
Significantly higher wear resistance compared to that of the standard TPR (rubber) insert
The anti-slip function remains optimal, even when the surface of the material is wet or smeared with oil or grease. SANDBLOCK® The anti-slip surfaces are highly wear-resistant, water-resistant, and firmly bonded to the robust polypropylene cage of the pedal via a new patented technology. Compared to the self-adhesive sandpaper versions of pedals currently in use, this strong bond is waterproof and cannot be separated or removed from the pedal. Technical details and test results:
Various laboratory tests prove that it SANDBLOCK® cannot be separated or removed from the pedal cage, even when tools are used for this purpose
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 down by only 0.25 mm.
When using standard sandpaper, signs of wear already show after 20 cycles. SANDBLOCK® does not do this
The insert of standard sandpaper separates very easily from the polypropylene cage of the pedal. With SANDBLOCK®, this does not happen. Due to the SANDBLOCK® By using material instead of TPR or standard sandpaper, an even higher degree of safety for the cyclist is achieved with these UNION pedals in all weather conditions.
