Submitted by Leo a Downhiller from Los Angeles, California
Date Reviewed: January 3, 2005
Favorite Trail:Kenter Coaster
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $35.00
Purchased At:Ebay
Strengths:They grip!
Weaknesses:Hard to find, These things are not sold here in the U.S. You guys need to get a deler over here!
Similar Products Used:Carnak brothers mallet, Weyless stock opencage pedals
Bike Setup:Ironhorse SGS with Marzocchi Junior T and Raceface Diabolus stem.Everyhting is stock.
Bottom Line:I think I'm the first guy to officially have these pedals here in the U.S. Everytime I encounter a freerider, they ask me what kind of pedals are those? The color and pins really stick out!(pun)Great pedal for intermediate freeriders,downhill bikers and trials riders.

Submitted by Kimbus a Weekend Warrior from Helsinki, Finland
Date Reviewed: March 31, 2002
Favorite Trail:secret ;)
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:Foxcomp
Strengths:They look as cool as a Ferrari!Goddamn!Large, for my ladylike size 47 (europe) foot! Nice&good spikes that are easy to replace (just buy new ones). The bearings are total sh!t, I first thought that there is sand inside but the balls were just so badly made that....damn! But but, the pedals can be opened and fixed with some good'n'old swedish-vaseline, in about 15 minutes,and after that, theyl hurrln'n'snurllll or something for the next 1000 km! The pedals can also take more hit than a average wife without breaking!! I love these pedals almost more than my girlfriend!
Weaknesses:Tore my leg badly (twice!!), my sister threw up after she saw my foot! The bearings are crap, they rust and start make noise after a week of use, but they can be easily fixed! You'l always have to ride with proper shoes on.
Similar Products Used:Sh!itty pedals that came with the bike (Momma sez, Don't ya fool-boy go buying anything from Urheiluaitta...) amd a pair of XC-wet-drem-strap-pedals....
Bike Setup:Raleigh M80, deore parts, RockShox Jett XC '2000, Marin xc-riserbar, IRC tyres, crappy suspension seat-post, and these pedals!
Bottom Line:Rather see my sister a wh0re, than buy any other pedals!
