I don't do hard beating but these have lasted great so far. The pedal itself hasnt bent but I broke off a pin (thats what hitting cement does to those pins) Recommended.
I wouldn't get these if you want to grind, unless you don't care about the pins | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Out-and-About Gear | | Strengths: | Extremely Strong and durable. I have bashed these guys on rocks numerous of times. I think the rocks hate it more than the peddals. Seriously, these peadals can take the abbuse like a champ. Plus the metal cleats are replaceable and the pedals should come with several spare cleats. Another great quality is that the platform is very big. Lots of space if you like wearing large shoes like I do. Did I mention that they just look bad azz on my bike? | | Weaknesses: | seals pop off easily, but is fixed just as easy. Just put some of the blue goop used to lock bolt threads on them. I haven't had a single issue after that. This shouldn't keep you from buying the pedals. | | Similar Products Used: | Old crappy stock peddals that were bent and beat to their death. | | Bike Setup: | Trek 6500. Shimano XTR derailurs/shifters. Avid Mech Disc Breaks. Tru Vative Evolve DH Crank/BB. Hope Bulb hubs. Sun Ringle Rims. | | Bottom Line: | I'm a fat bastage when it comes to bikers (230 lb), and I like to ride hard on rough terrain. These pedals take the abuse like a champ and give me the traction I need. I never have to worry about rocks any more. Just don't let your foot slip off or you will find out why they are called meat tenderizers. :)
Buy these pedals if you want a heavy duty platform pedal that take abuse from rocks.
Don't buy these pedals if you are picky about weight.

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Albe's BMX Mail Order | | Strengths: | Pretty red color, huge concave platform, cheap price, tough looks, good grip. | | Weaknesses: | Pedals are brand new. I just put them on last night and 10 minutes into my first ride with them I endoed hard. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Red anodized finish looks pretty good at first glance but its quality is cheap and the finish is already missing in a few places. Left pedal bearing felt really rough when I spun it in my hand but I haven't noticed any problems once installed. They're very heavy and negate any performance benefits I'd get with my forged aluminum RaceFace cranks, but this is just my errand everyday cruise around town bike so I don't care that much. I just didn't want to have to put on bike shoes to run to the store.

I've got the 3 hole. At $30.00 shipped to my door they're a bargain.

I've used these pedals for a long time and haven't had any problems. I use them on both my Gemini, and my daily go to work and back, general trail bike. I've heard people say that they've had problems with the bearing covers, missing pins, bent shafts. I have experienced no such problems in two years of use. I ride year round daily, rain, snow, slush, sun whatever and have never redone the bearings or needed to replace a pin. They still spin like new. I stated that they were slick when they get wet, well these are really a BMX pedal and not designed for all conditions. You can't complain when you use something where it's not supposed to be, I said that as more a warning than a fault. People who are looking for a cheap but good pedal should check them out.

Yes these were designed to be a BMX pedal wich means certain things. They are very strong for rock impacts, like when bmxers slide off of a grind and hit the pedal. But this also means they dont have many holes in them so mud sits on them. They are also knurled wich alows water to cling to them. They have super strong spindles incase you like throwing your bike and the pedal catching on a curb in the process. They are unsealed and cheap, bmxers like things cheap and dependable. BMX bikes are steel and arnt riding in muddy conditions so y use sealed baeringsand jack up the cost? For BMX they are great, buy a pair grind the hell outa them and buy a new pair in 3 months...painless. For mountain, mud sticks to them and they get slippery and the bearings die in a few rides. They are also a small pedal, with lots of concave so its like standing on an invirted golfball. If you like o move your foot to the outside for one footed cornes there is no pedal there, they are quite narrow.
