hey i was wondering if anyone used these as dh pedals? i have had them on my street bike and bmx and love them but dont know how they would be on rough terrain?

They're a bit thick IMO, but they're certainly not the worst pedals in the world.

Pedals are pedals.
It really boils down to preference.
If it can stand up to BMX grinding, I'm sure tagging a few rocks is no big deal.
If you like 'em, throw 'em on and go ride.

Ralph hooked up my old shop team with a bunch of them, i ran a pair for a season on a sunday with too soft a spring, at Diablo (rocky), they held up, didnt rip any pins out, great concave average thickness for a tough ass hell pedal, the bushing developed a bit of play after lots of mud and no regreasing (not atomlab type looseness mind you), but still spun well, gave them to my friends girlfriend she is still running them... do it, plus it will give you amazing Steve Hamilton powers

I've run several hamilton pedals the last few years on my 20", DS bike, XC bike, road bike, DH bike. They're awesome when it's dry because they are so tough and they've got good feel for moving your feet around.

But the knurling packs with mud and they're too small and thick for a good DH pedal. DH pedal = not moving your feet around too much.

Definitely not a good choice for mud. They pack up and have short pins.

so this may be a total noob question but does it really make a difference between sealed and not sealed?
