Im looking into buying new pedals because my old snafus are not very
grippy and when they are wet they are quite slippy. the question is,
which pedals would be best. I mainly ride street and trials, can
someone suggest a good, cheap set of pedals? the two I was looking at
are 'Qu-Ax Magnesium Pedals' (http://tinyurl.com/32tjve) and 'Odyssey
Jim Cielencki Pedals' (http://tinyurl.com/2emarn) suggestions would be
great, thanks.

I suggest the hoffman solemate pedals.

I'm not sure how available they are in the uk, but they are great,

I ride with the Jim C's and they're great. Don't shred your shins too
much :p Comfy and grippy!

I very highly recommend the Hoffman Sole Mates. They have absolutely
perfect grip, have a nice feature where you can't strip your pins, come
with two pin lengths, and require no modification if you want a grind
plate.

thanks for the quick response
I have found the hoffman solemate pedals in the UK for not much more
than the jim cs and for less than the qu-ax. has anybody used more than
one make? if so could you compare them? also how grippy are the jim cs
and hoffman and how many of the pins are replacable on both of them?
thanks for your help.

The pins on the Hoffman's are more replaceable than that Jim C's. The
pins on the Hoffman's screw into a nut that is removable that sits in
the pedal. If you strip the pin holes on the Jim C's, you can't use
that hole anymore. If you strip the pin holes on the Hoffman's, you
just get a new nut, which is like $0.03.

I am thinking about getting some Solemates for my qu-ax. They seem to
have a fairly big platform on them, so I would assume that they would
make it easier to land things.

The fact they have sealed berrings is good and they do look quite
grippy but they do only come in yellow and I have found others cheaper.

the jim Cs have a lightly larger platform than the solemates, but they
are both comparable in how they ride.

I have a pair of both, and they are both really nice.
