from NorCal Date Reviewed: March 10, 2009 Strengths: Thin, low-profile, durable, grippy, not too heavy, rebuildable. Large surface area to move my feet around on, I like to be able to move my feet without feeling like I'm at the edge and about to slip off the pedals....not too large though. Good ground/rock clearance in technical sections due to their shape and thin profile. Weaknesses: None really, but I have scraped my calves and shins on them a couple times...none too bad though. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: singletrack Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $80.00 Purchased At: Mad Cat Bikes Similar Products Used: Stock pedals....junk, some cheapo flat pedals with the screw in traction spikes, they were alot thicker and not as large an area to move my feet around on. Bike Setup: Specialized Rockhopper Disc and Rockhopper Disc 29er (now my main bike.)

from Ames, IA Date Reviewed: October 1, 2008 Strengths: Smooth bearings that will probably last a long time with nice rubber seal. Rebuild kits available. Rustproof spindle. Light. Looks cool. Weaknesses: Too thin actually. Because these pedal bodies are so thin there is a bulge in the center where the spindle goes through the body. Unfortunately the bulge sits almost as high as the screws so the ball of your foot tends to rest too much on the bulge or hump in the center which creates less than adequate grip sometimes. Basically if the bodies where thicker there would be no bulge in the center to make your foot slip. The standard steel black oxide screws that came with the pedals began to rust the first time I rode this past winter so I replaced all of them with stainless steel screws. If you decide to replace the screws do so immediately as the threads can get damaged/flattened/bent by rocks or pavement once that happens removing the screws can rip out the softer aluminum threads in the pedal body upon exit. Not enough screws to provide grip. Bigger diameter screws would be better for grip maybe an M4 instead of the M3 screws that are in the pedals. Slightly overpriced. Would look better in a black powder coat finish instead of the gray. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: Online somewhere Similar Products Used: Triple Traps, Bear claws, Wellgo platforms, knarly looking silver Nashbar platforms that were cheap and still going strong even with cheap regular ball bearings.
