I've been riding a pair of snafu's for a while but they have taken a pretty good beating and I've been thinking of getting a new pair of pedals. I would have just bought another pair of snafu's but they have changed them and have a way smaller pin count than the ones I have. So anyways I was wondering if anybody is riding animal hamiltons and has anything to say about them. I had bought a pair of tioga mx pros but am not a fan of how long the pins are and I think I will rip them out too easily as I am pretty rough on pins I'd say. Any other suggestions of a similar type of pedal that has replaceable pins are also welcome.

The animal hamiltons

I've been riding Hamiltons for about 5 months or so and I have no complaints. I got the unsealed and they are starting to pop a little but it doesn't bother me too much. They come with the smaller pins installed buy they also come with a bag of replacement pins with a few longer ones in there. They're good pedals.

yeah, when my mosh steps die, if they ever do, I'll get the hamiltons...nice, light, burly, good stuff...

my housemate nick runs 'em and loves 'em. he has the white ones. tossed some red rattle can on for an awesome 2tone effect.

I just ordered some Fly Ruben pedals. Similar to Hamiltons but lighter and more expensive. We'll see when them come in whether they are worth it or not. http://www.flybikesbmx.com/products/pedalseng.htm?PHPSESSID=43ae9ab499eff7fb5cf0d28d5948a49e

SB if they start to wiggle on the spindle either try and tear them down and repack them with grease or replace them....

 

[sb317]

Yeah, I thought about that but I can just use it as an excuse to get some new ones.

[Mr Tiles]

don't blame your problems on me

speaking of pedals though, I pulled out a set of old profile gas pedals I had stowed back a long time ago and mounted them on my s/s mtb. I was impressed at how well they gripped. They are aweful nice to shred up pedal grinding though...

I had a pair of unsealed Hamilton's for a while. I liked them, but they only lasted about 3 months until they started making crazy noises. I'm rockin the Drive Pro Sealed right now. They are extremely light, look rad, and have tons o grip. I also like how the pedal cage is on the outside, not the end cap/bolt... seems like that piece always gets scratched to hell on most pedals.
