They only come with one set of pins, but you can buy both replacement pins and 'terror pins' which are longer for a couple of quid from your local bike shop. Incidentaly not all the pins on a V8 can be removed easily, you can pull the fixed ones out with a vice (as i did to my onza pedals) if you're going to remove them permeanently, only around half can be screwed in and out at will. You can see in this photo, the black pins are removable, the silver ones are not. Yes that does refer to red V8s, RC Red is a really strong red, see Loosemoose's V12s here.

*Posted by fexnix* I have experience with both the V8s and the Jimmy Cs. I would say that the V8/V12 are better for Muni beacuse of their super grip.
On the other hand I prefer Jimmy C's on my trials/street uni beacuse they are bigger and I can re-position my foot on them a little bit.
That's very interesting, thanks Fexnix!
I'm looking into ordering some JCs. I've found the Odyssey website www.odysseybmx.com and on there there is an email address for the distibuter in England. It sounds a little obscure but I've emailed it asking for more information on getting some JCs/deliveries/prices etc... I'll keep the news posted -I'm sure that I'm not the only guy in England that will want to get some JC pedals in the future.
Thanks again, AndyC

WOW! Nice one Swarbrim! Your google powers are like nothing I have ever seen before. Maybe mankind can be saved after all...
Thanks a lot. Are you getting the JC pedals from extreme sports? I'm investigating now...

They may only be pedals but slippery pedals probably account for at least 70% of all my unicycling injuries. It is very wet in England.
Extreme Sports is a Goldmine! They also sell Snafus, JCs and V8s! They have a shop in Docaster which is near Sheffield too! 🙂
Fantastic! -AndyC

Go google Primo Balance Magnesium they are the best trials pedals i have ever used. they only have 4 pins so they dont mess up your legs but have the most amazeing grip ever. they have real big axles so they wont break and there sealed so no repacking bearings. they also wont get aney of that slop that the snafus get.
