Phil (trials uni or something like that) was asking questions about these pedals so I figured I would post my responses here incase anyone else is considering these wonderful pedals.
They are really really strong, and light for their price.
I’m sure you can get stronger, and probably pedals that are more light, but at 45 bucks Canadian compared to 50 Canadian for Jim C’s they are definatly worth it.
I learnt how to do higher pedal grabs, and I have used them to break ice (at the skatepark during spring and was clearing ice by smashing it with the pedals). Basically I have reclously (sp?) kicked the crap out of them to no end and until recently no problems. (although I would recommend loctiting the pins would be a good idea as I lost a couple but that happens with all pinned pedals and I used super glue which held them in pretty well afterwords but if you loctited them first it would probably help)
I have actualy recently finaly started to take chunks out of them but they lasted me so well, and are such a perfect shape and slide so well, that I’m probably going to be getting another pair.
I took the chunks out by doing repeated failed grinds down an 8 set where I would get about half way, my foot would catch and the uni would go plumiting down onto the pedal rather quickly, so I doubt many pedals could withstand that. Also the damage is minimal and doesn’t affect my riding them at all, it just makes the pinned side of my grind pedal even heavier in comparison.
Hope that helps.
