No no no, that sounds too much like I'm backing down, I said 1" and now I have to back it up.
In fact I'm gonna have to set up my own company, "Behemoth pedals Co." and find someone who is an
out of work engineer to knock me up a prototype pedal with 1" axle. Then I'll take my sample to
korea and have them produce about 5000 pedals out of cast "alloy", set up a webpage announcing the
arrival of the new pedal standard (sorry, I meant existing pedal standard that no-one but me had
heard about before) "humungapedal" and flood the market. I've heard that I only need to put a small
glossy ad in any MTB rag featuring someone jumping and pointing at his pedals with a caption like
"Dude these pedals rock" and I'll make a small fortune.
And If that fails I'll sell them all to Shaun aRe to go with his heeewage tyres............
Oh and then when I've sold all the pedals, people will soon discover the need for my 'Cranktastical'
crankarms as of course they won't fit anything else.
