Strengths:
They look cool
Weaknesses:
Grip, bearing longevity, weight, thick
Bottom Line:
I used to run Kona Jacksh!t pedals. These pedals were given to me as a tip while I was working at the shop. I thought, "cool, sealed cartridge bearings." So I gave away my Konas and put these on my bike. Big mistake.
These pedals do not grip well. My shins can show it. Wet, dry, didn't matter.
The pedals do not have an offset platform either. This may have been part of why I slipped off of them so often.
Though the bearings are sealed cartridge, they don't seem to last. Mine started developing play after just a couple of months. And the end cap cracked soon after.
So... I gave them away.
I guess if you wanted platforms for XC or more casual riding these might be okay.

Strengths:
Look killer, grip very well, durable.
Weaknesses:
Cut my legs up. Maybe I need shin guards for these things...
Bottom Line:
Awesome pedals. Definitely a good investment. If you don't have shin guards, look out is all I can say. These things will tear up your legs, just brushing against them scratches you. Chicks dig scars though, right?...

Price Paid:

Strengths:
One-piece casting. Cool, industrial aesthetics. Pins replaceable - Pins are essentially Hex key screws. Confidence-inspiring grip. Light weight. Come in silver (actually it's an unfinished metal color) or black.
Weaknesses:
Not a huge platform area. Could do with being a tad bigger. Will flay your shins to the bone given the opportunity! (But if the sight of your own blood concerned you, you wouldn't be here.)
Similar Products Used:
Stock pedals. (All platforms)
Bike Setup:
'04 S-Works Epic FSR (XC rig) (Accelerator pedals installed on Race Face Evolve XC crankset.)
Bottom Line:
Was reluctant to spend anything over $30 on a pair of pedals, but at the end of the day... when the fat lady sings... all things considered... when the votes are counted... I know I'll be happy with these. They look the biz, and if you're like me and don't want to go the ballet shoe route (in order to bolt yourself to a 28lb, 30mph piece of aluminum) these will help prevent unnecessary testosterone leak.

Strengths:
- light weight - good grip - not too bulky - look sick
Weaknesses:
- a little bit narrow
Bike Setup:
SWD Racing 6Gun
Bottom Line:
Great pedals! For them lacking in wideness, they make-up for in having extreme grip. I've yet to get smacked in the shins with them yet, and I hope it never happens. They are lightweight and will give your bike a stylish look.
