It’s time for me to get some new plastic pedals. Question is, which ones?

I’ve had 3 pairs of Twisted PC’s, and I love them to death, but the wealth of new options is tempting.

I’ve heard the Hamilton’s are almost too grippy, and that’s definitely a downside.

I’m looking at the following pedals:
Eclat Surge Plastics

Colony Fantastic Plastics

Eastern Plastics

And if none of these are what I’m looking for, I may just get another pair of Twisted PC’s. Any information you all could offer me would be great. I ride a combination of tech and (mild)big street, if that matters.

If you want a pedal thats grip will last after a few sessions of grinding to NOT get easterns.

After now trying both Hamilton and Twisted PC’s I would say the grip is equal over all but different (if that makes sense). I would go Hamilton, I loved mine while they lasted.

Get the Colonys so you can tell me how they are

Thumbs down on the easterns from me.

From what I’ve used.

Best metal pedal: Wellgo MG1’s

Best plastic pedal: Odyssey Twisted PC’s

(I like DX style plastics too though, they’re really good for flips)

Due to my forum search for “Eclat Surge” only yielding one result, I decided I would buy them.

I figured I could benefit the unicycling community by taking a $25 dollar hit.

I’ll write a detailed review once I get them.

I ordered those bad boys in clear.

EDIT:

I was counting on you to try those out!

Haro small blocks holding up… Got some Tryall Red Labels for 15$ though. So Ive been using those…

2simpl · March 9, 2009, 1:35pm

How are the Try All Red Labels for trials??

UniKid2 · March 9, 2009, 1:38pm

spindle stays true. It doesent fly off. But if you do pedal grabs, they do crack and eventually snap. The best person to ask about trials with these pedals is Kevin. hmm… forgot his user though… Kevin … lol.. Hes the only ride that really only rides these..

EDIT: Kidmuni? maybey

OK thanks

BrianP · March 10, 2009, 5:09am

I have been using these pedals and they are pretty awesome.

guilhermeteles · March 10, 2009, 9:43am

They seem to have a really small landing surface for crankflips and other tricks…

And they are really expensive when compared to PC’s

agentQ · March 10, 2009, 10:12am

I kinda assumed he was using them for Muni type ridding, as thats what they look good for.

This isnt a street pedal thread. We all know plastics are where its at for that.

OneWheelLess · March 10, 2009, 7:03pm

anybody use the wellgo plastics w/ metal pins?

ROB7 · March 14, 2009, 9:55pm

Most people ride the Cielencki, but I would think that the Hoffmans wouldn’t be a bad pedal either.

BrianP · March 15, 2009, 6:58am

Yeah I was using mine for Muni. They have a really big riding surface which fits my big wide foot pretty well. I will take a pic of them on the uni when I get back from the trails.

agentQ · March 31, 2009, 1:23pm

Check these out:

I think they are coming this summer…
