Description:The spindles ride in widely spaced proprietary polymer bearings that not only weigh less, but run smoother, quieter, and longer than typical bearings. The bearings require no lube, are impervious to water, and are double-sealed at both ends to prevent dust from infiltrating.
Our pedals are also very low profile. This, combined with the forward leaning design, provide a very stable and efficient pedalling platform!

Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Purchased At:
Sicklines (special promotion)
Strengths:
They are real tough and your feet remain glued to the pedals. no slippage. They feel trong and very secure (unlike DMR V12's).
Weaknesses:
None so far.
Similar Products Used:
DMR v12
Bike Setup:
Santa Cruz Nomad, SAM XO, Fox 32Rc Vans and the usual bling.
Bottom Line:
great buy. All my mountain biking buddies wear spd pedals but I prefer the more relaxed feel of flat pedals with 5-10's. They are great for general cross country riding and not just exclusively for downhillers. This is my second purchase of strait line products and I'm a great believer. I can't wait til they make a 2 chain ring chain guide.

Strengths:
The pedals are rock solid, amazing grip, sealed bearings, super smooth, pretty light weight, and very low profile. Pins go in using a small socket, which is much easier than an allen wrench.
Weaknesses:
ABSOLUTELY NONE!

These pedal are the best I have used and seen. I have seen many of pedals go to crap quick. These pedals just plain ol' rock, super grippy. You'll never have to think about pedals agian.
