from Waterville, ME, USA Date Reviewed: April 5, 2012 Strengths: Look great imo. Are very grippy and seem to take abuse very well.I have smashed them against quite a few rocks and logs and they have not failed me yet. No issues with bearings wearing out or anything like that. They still spin as they did when I 1'st installed them over a year ago. Weaknesses: The pins do like to move in on the pedals. Only a couple of mine have done it as they came with locktite from the box. A quick loostening and re applying locktite would fix this issue.

from Bristol Date Reviewed: February 15, 2012 Strengths: Strong and grippy Weaknesses: From day one they never span freely. I thought this was normal as the only other person I know who has these had the exact same issue. The stiffness slowly got worse and worse until eventually I bought myself the rebuilt kit and attempted to take the pedals apart. The was able to remove the pin but the inner components were all rusted solid to the inside. I couldn't even get them out with brute force and a hammer.

from London, England Date Reviewed: December 11, 2011 Strengths: Nice and grippy, changable/customizable plates, can change pins, still perform well in the wet, they look really good too, also the 5050x aren't expensive compared to other pedals. Weaknesses: the pins screw them selves in whilst riding so within 4-5 runs the pins have screwed in and need loosening with an allen key to get them in the right position and after about 5 rides the bearing or axle or something has gone and now there is movement Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Aston hill 4-2-3 Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $55.00 Purchased At: Pinkbike.com Similar Products Used: Easton pedals, specialized mags, V8s.

from Hasselt, Limburg, Belgium Date Reviewed: October 21, 2010 Strengths: Looks & marketing - at the time it was the only gold pedal that could match the paint job on my frame. Weaknesses: Uhmmm, almost everything! After one rainy ride the bearings apparently soaked up the water completely,so far for paying the extra $ for the double sealed one - pedal was completely blocked the day after. plastic screw for lubing the pedal is absolute s***, couldn't even open it once without damaging the screw. And the same if you try to replace the pins!

from Vancouver, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: April 26, 2010 Strengths: Looks nice, replaceable pins, cartridge bearings Weaknesses: Too many little allen screws, plate design held together by ultratiny allen screws that are next to impossible to find. Heavy as well. Way too expensive for the headaches you get. Tread pins loosen and fall out depite being held by locktite.

from Wenatchee, Wa, USA Date Reviewed: April 9, 2010 Strengths: Sturdy when working... Weaknesses: Bearings went out quicker than when I owned the 50/50X. Should have learned the first time. 50/50 XX bearings can be re-greased, but that doesn't work so well. Not impressed.

from southbury, ct Date Reviewed: September 8, 2009 Strengths: Nice looking, lighter than most, sealed bearings. Weaknesses: Slippage. Most people mountainbiking on platforms arenlt looking for a slippery pedal. the pins are a hair too short, and the hump in the middle where the axle is is a bit too tall. Bad combination, pin placement is a bit weird too. Removing the stupid reflectors helped, but still is a bit slick to me. Using flat skater-shoes helps too, but you shouldnt have to do those things to make a pedal worth while, never mind a 120$ pedal.

from Snoqualmie Date Reviewed: April 20, 2009 Strengths: Tough pedel Weaknesses: After sitting in my garage over the winter both axels rusted to the point that they are useless. I did manage to get one off and re-greased it. The other plastic end cap striped and I pretty much had to destroy the pedal to get it off. Wouldn't recommend unless you want to spend more time taking extra care of these pedals.
