also how do i remove the pegs that dont have anything to grip with a tool and dont pass all the way through the pedal (i NO THEY can come out cuz it says they can and they deffanetly arent molded to the pedal)
I made a crappy grind plate from a sheet of aluminum siding, it’s still on there after almost a year and it works fine on everything except for cement.
I take to much care of stuff I spend money on to take out the pins and grind right on the pedal, so I’ve never tried that.
hey guys, im in need of some grind plates also, ive been looking into street and i wanna take a trip to the skate park and see what i can do. i remember redhead buti havent seen him post in a while. can anyone locate him for me?
thanks

You dont have to have grind plates, it all depends on what your grinding. You can grind metal rails and stuff without grind plates, you only need them for grinding concrete and stuff.
I have mosh step pedals (same as half step exept sealed) and i use kommando grind plates from dans comp and they’re great, but to put them onto mosh pedals you have to drill out 2 of the moulded pins and take out the rest. The other good thing about grind plates is they weight the pedal so thay’re always pinned side up so its good for unispins and stuff.
Hmm, my experience with grind plates is that they weight them really strangely so when I would crankflip or unispin I would always seem to land on the grind plate. It got pretty annoying.
You can email Dan’s Comp and ask them what pedals they know of that will definitely not work and what pedals will definitely work with the Kommando grind plates. It is rather lame that their web site does not list a sampling of what pedals will and will not work with the grind plates.
so does this mean if im gonna do unispins and stuff i cant have a grind plate?
and no one answered my question, how do i remove the pins that arent molded to the pedal but dont go all the way through the pedal so i can screw them out hith a screwdriver, does anyone know what im talking about?
If I were you I would call them and have them actually try it over the phone because a while ago I emailed them and asked if they would fit the Jimmy Cs and they told me yes so I ordered them and then they didn’t fit. So I had to call them and they switched them with snafus for me.
If you look at the kommando grind plate it has those 2 pieces of plastic that have to go through the pedal body to connect to the fat piece on top. On the Jimmy C’s there are little thingys in the way so it can’t go through. You might be able to do it if you redesign it but it won’t work the way it comes. Here is a thread about it from a while ago
