Favorite Trail:Fort william World cup DH Course
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $100.00
Purchased At:Leisurelakes
Strengths:Big, Beefy- loads of grip
Weaknesses:Cheese grater on the shins- cnat ride without shin pads
Similar Products Used:Kore platforms/ 24seven slacker
Bike Setup:Trek session 77 stock, now running with kore platforms- Michelin Comp S 2.8 rear tyre
Bottom Line:Theese pedals have got x amount of grip. You do need to lift your foot off to re-position. However the pins kept on turning out and dissapearing mid trail. I did a huge jump at llandegla forest , wales- overshot the landing ramp and hit the bank on one side, as my pedal struck the soil (or rock- it all happened so fast), the my toe got trapped, the pedal sheared off the bike at the axel, crushing/ breaking my toe at the same time. Its all good fun, but 6 months later my toe is still mangled
