oops....I was thinking that was you with the canfield pedals my bad.
Aight.....so I definitely got put in my place. I feel better knowing you guys are riding black plastic pedals. My assumptions were obviously incorrect.
My bad.
I still can't seem to stand on the damn things though.
In my world that guy looks like he's doing it totally right.
I think that a recaption should be considered: "Right where I want you..."
Ok had to cook this one up.
Now we're talkin.........
Not so fast, my plastic pedals are Red, and the ones before them were purple.
I like my women, like I like my grapes.....Seedless
I like my women like I like my coffee. Ground up and in the freezer.
Aw come on.
Just admit it.
You guys bought them for what they look like.
Let me ask you this: how many of you have BLACK plastic pedals?
I do on five of my bikes i got some white ones once but i felt they were too emotional for me
truth,
very long lasting, great grip for a plastic pedal, but not TOO much, i shift my feet around on my pedals a lot so this helps.
broached 6mm allen hole in the spindle helps too, not needing a pedal wrench is nice.
had mine for about a year now, including a daily winter commute. with minimal wear and smooth bearings.
worth every penny, id buy again in a heartbeat. i have multiple fellow riders that run them now too with flawless performance.
i just picked up one of the new specialized complete bmx bikes and it came with some plastic pedals from spec. they grip way better than i thought they would i have to admit, but i still have some metal pedals one the way. gotta go with what im used too.
why do you hate your shins so much then? Since I switched over to PC's, many moons ago, there has been 2-3 occasions where if I had metal pedals I would have had to have stitches. No going back for me, I'm actually looking at the Fly Ruben graphite pedals currently.
Resurrecting this one a bit.
I'm thinking of going plastic with the premium sealed pedals.
I currently have Odyssey aluminium but these are twice as heavy as the plastic ones and my calf / shin is looming a wee bit yellow/black so I want to wimp out a bit now I'm approaching 40
.
Anyone have any experience with these? They are the only sealed plastic pedals I can find.

okay, I'm lookin at some plastics for my specialized p1, im used to metal but you guys got me hooked on plastics now, what do you guys recommend that are pretty grippy and fairly cheap?

On the topic of Premiums, I hear more bad than good. I mean yes, you can buy replacement pedal bodies, but they do break alot more often. Slims that I do hear good things about are the Deitys and recently the Fyxation Mesa, which supposedly is the exact same thing. Once my current pedals are done I'll probably go for Deitys.
