eh. Kinda anti-climatic. Maybe Apple will start making pedals soon too. They can come in all sorts of "flavors".
Jewelry for bikes is lame.

oooooooohhhh! Buying some! The axle looks hot.*a picture of a sweet pedal*
I'm less interested in the "changing out the colors to match my kit" aspect and more interested in the idea that the pedal becomes a modular, serviceable platform (assuming that's the promise)eh.

very interesting. i'm curious as to what the pricetag for a set will be.
There's only one thing I can tell by looking at them.
They're better than Crank Bros pedals.
This is true, anything is better than CB pedals.Why would you need to look at them to be able to tell?
SAM HILL runs them. They must be the best pedal on the planet!This is true, anything is better than CB pedals.
Expensive plastic you mean. Have you ever checked on the costs of the plastic parts of an LG1?you can blow the crap out of your pedal and get a new one for the cost of some plastics.
^ what he said!Waiting for the weight.
If they're lighter and thinner than my Mag Wellgos I'll think about it.
Under 400g for the alum/ti one I believe? 450 otherwise. Piper can be more accurate than me on this end.Waiting for the weight.

Probably some metal core with two plastic halves that bolt to the middle section. It's been done in BMX and it makes for super light and cheap pedals. The 8 probably refers to the replaceable pins. Each green section is a pedal half, the grey in the middle is the metal, axle coming out the back, and the red is probably a bolt/bearings.
Because then all the RM fanboys can speculate as to it being an eight-speed gearbox?did anybody say why its called the staccato 8? there's 9 pins and six cutouts. 8 different bodies? 8 colors?
Cool pedals. Cool ideas. My guess is they will be uber expensive and under-supplied. The rebuild kits will be so pricey that people will consider other choices when that time comes. I would consider a used set otherwise my MG-1's are crazy light, super grippy and run $30-50 brand new.Under 400g for the alum/ti one I believe? 450 otherwise.

Exposed spindle where? The wrench flats? Look closely, the pedal isn't just the plastic rotating around the that silver tube.I'd be really worried about bashing the exposed spindle on stuff.
toucheThey call them Staccato 8 because there are 8 cross beams.. The little X's.

Nice.Also, you cant see from the pictures but the platform actually has a dual concave shape to it (front/back AND side/side) which really lets the ball of your foot settle into it.
LG1 plastics retail for the equivalent of 80 dollars over here - that's pretty expensive plastic . . .last i checked (today) we were selling them for 25$...
No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!Also, you cant see from the pictures but the platform actually has a dual concave shape to it (front/back AND side/side) which really lets the ball of your foot settle into it.
