Those look like some nice pedals! However, I would be worred about the
removable plates snapping off if you hit them to hard.

Does anyone use the Axiom pedals? Or even heard a unicyclist using then?
They look very simular to the Welgo pedals.

I'm sure Kris Holm has used them since they're a Norco product. I don't
know what kind of bearing design the Axiom pedals have. One problem
with the Wellgo and similar pedals have is they put a lot of side load
on the sealed cartridge bearing. The bearing will eventually fail (fall
apart) and the pedal body will fall off the spindle. Usually happens in
the middle of a ride.

Have you looked at the Odyssey JC (Jim Cielencki) pedals? They seem to
hold up well to abuse from pedal grabs and such. Make sure all of the
grip screws are tight to begin with and install the screws with Loctite
just to make sure they stay tight. Not the most grippy pedal if you're
also doing muni. But seem to be very good for trials.

Pedals that I like for muni are the 'AtomLab' (http://www.atomlab.com/)
Aircorp, but I have the old model and haven't tried their new
bearingless design yet. I also like the look of the 'Specialized Lo Pro
Mag platform pedals'
(http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=11143). Should be
a good muni pedal. I'm thinking of trying the Specialized pedals when
my Aircorps wear out. But if you're breaking pins off I don't think
either the Aircorps or the Specialized Lo Pros will suit your style of
abuse.

yeah they are a f**kin awesome pedal.

the are very flat and pretty damn strong, i only broke one cos i grinded
the metal too thin.

i defintiely suggest getting them... they dont completely stick your
shoe on (which is good for street) but they can if you have a grippy
shoe. for mountain and trials.

plus if you dont really grind a hell of a lot, they will last you a very
long time
