Price Paid:

Strengths:
Sturdy pedals with lots of studs for good grip on your shoes
Weaknesses:
lots of studs to tear your legs apart when you slip off the pedals
Bottom Line:
Personally, I like them. Granted, it sucks when you slip off and the pedals spin around and nail you in the legs...but...these pedals grip my shoes well, the platform is a good size to support the toe area of my shoes.

Strengths:
Large, cheap, smooth bearings, strong, really grippy even in wet, user serviceable, loads of replaceable pins
Weaknesses:
none
Similar Products Used:
DMR V8, VP platform pedals
Bike Setup:
Specialized Hardrock sport '04, Marzocchi EXR, Hayes MX2 disc brake, Gusset Inca pedals, green Halo twin rail tyres
Bottom Line:
Bought these for £16 from eBay. Wow! What an improvement over my old unbranded pedals, with them they were useless in the wet, limiting you to sitting down, you couldnt do anything. But now you can fearlessly jump and drop with hardly any pedal slipping, if any at all. I've used V8s and i would say that these perform as well, if not better than the V8s (they have a slightly larger platform) NEVER get pedals with pre - moulded pins, get ones with replaceable pins. V8s only have 4 replaceable pins but these have almost all replaceable so when they wear down, get new ones. Nice pedals, get them if you can, i find them better than DMRs.
