| Bottom Line: |
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! |
