Strengths: big platform, well built, good bearings, grippyWeaknesses: 3 pins come loose / fallen outBottom Line: had these pedals 11 months riding mainly dirt jumps / 4x and bmx tracks on my Santacruz Jackal so no rock strikes or anything like that. two pins are loose and will not tighted as the thread in the pedal or on the pin has gone. and one pin is missing completely. That is my only complaint although quite a major on i think, other than that the pedal is very grippy, perhaps to much grip when wearing 5.10 shoes.

Strengths: Smooth operation.
Large, stable platform.
Great pin placement and durability. Lots of rock strikes and no mashed pins yet.Weaknesses: Price. These pedals are spendy but well worth it.Bottom Line: I purchased these pedals to go with my Fatback build and I'm glad I spent the money on these pedals. The big platform supports my feet very well. My entire sole is covered by the pedal. I wear size 12 and haven't had an issue. I have had more rock strikes with these pedals, but paying attention to your line can actually reduce that. I came from spd clipless and wouldn't go back for the world. My feet hardly ever get numb. Quick dabs are easier and starting from a stop is also easier. No fumbling around for the engagement. I have yet to get the bad shin bites, but I have been nipped. It will happen, but the overall stability, lack of foot pain and more comfortable shoes make all the difference in the world.

Strengths: Flatform Size, Weight, Pins, Colour RangeWeaknesses: Pin Colour is taken off after 1 ride. Not really an issue but make me wonder why they went to the effort.Bottom Line: The bottom line is that them pedals work really well and I cannot honestly see myself returning the the Straitline Pedals anytime soon.
While they are not cheap I think that you get an amazingly robust product that should last the test of time.
