Strength:

Super a$$ strong! Smooth and many flashy colors!

Weakness:

pins that came on them were a little short. Found them to slip occasionaly.

I will never give up these pedals. Stronger than many in their weight/price range. After changing the pins they grip my feet well in all conditions. I have smoked these on a few rocks recently - very impressive. Just as strong as Primo at half the weight and better axels!! You find them, you buy them, you love them!!

Looks amazing, replcable axle and pins and the wicked coulours i got fluro pink.

Weakness:

Paint chips of easy.

Great pedal practically will last a lifetime, very grippy and works well with any bike.
The paint chips easy but it looks cool and a bit like camo.
I use them with my 5 10 karvers and its heaps good i can whip heaps far out and still have control.

Strength:

- Look awesome, BMX style
- Sealed bearings!
- Amazing White (not many good pedals in this colour) Have seen the pink ones and are incredible too
- Long and wide platform but not too big (for anybody with 9-11 feet size)
- Great grip; smooth/rough surface with removable pins.
- Well built with big holes; mud can be remove easily
- Come with a kit of replacement pins
- There's a magnesium version, more expensive but lighter < 470 gr, (only in black)

Weakness:

- Maybe too expensive (60 €, around 75 $, aluminium) but after see and try them I think they worth it
- Difficult to find them out there, but can order by internet

First of all I must say that I've only tried them for a few hours, some downhill and street, with several jumps and landings. Therefore I can't answer about durability but is my only fear at this moment, the rest have everything saisfied me. Anyway they look quite strong, give a fantastic grip, well-made with sealed bearings and look really cool.
My last pedals have been a pair of Crank Bros Mallet, also in aluminium, with similar weight and white coloured too. Differences: no egg-beater (remember mallet are both, automatic and platform) so it gives you much better grip with regulars; the Mallet give no bad grip with those but only to use ocasionally because of the cleats; similar platform length but wider in the Slim Jim; grip pins.
Definately I'm happy with this couple, a good purchase!
