cilinskies are heavy. they're built to stand up to pedal grinds on a bmx
bike. they're also flat. get something concave and pinned like snafus.
for th emoney snafus would be my suggestion. you could always try
clipless 🙂

I have 'Shinburgers'
(http://www.brooklynmachineworks.com/parts_pedals.htm) (mine are all
black) on my amazing Dave Stockton 36er (with purple Hunter frame).
They look very cool. In the rain, they are NOT grippy enough with my
sneakers, but with my 661s, they are super-grippy. Everything is
rounded off, so they are not as "badass" as they look (although I do
know people who have bled because of my pedals). And did I mention how
cool they look? 🙂

I'm a big fan of the 'Sun Ringle Zu-Zu'
(http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product.aspx?i=PE707A11) pedals for
Coker riding. They are grippy for Coker riding and the shape makes it
easy to adjust your feet on the pedals. They're also quality pedals.
I ride with Vans shoes and the Zu-Zu's are plenty grippy even in the
rain.

The trick to adjusting your feet with pedals shaped like the Zu-Zu's is
to roll your foot to the outside so only the outside edge of your foot
in on the pedal. Twist or move your foot to where it is comfortable.
Put your foot back flat on the pedal. Much easier to do that with
pedals shaped like the Zu-Zu's than squareish shaped pedals.

These are what I used for the Laos tour. I'm very fond of them. They're
grippy, lightweight, and have a huge platform which provides lots of
foot support and more pedal positions.

I like anything made from Magnesium with sharp spikes. A good cheap one
is the Azonic Fusion - I usually find them for sale somewhere for
around $25. My latest experiment is with an expensive one (Azonic
A-Frame Lite with Ti spindles) and they are great but the bearings are
not as good as you would expect. Still 10 months of MANY miles and they
are basically ok. Overall I recommend going with something cheaper that
you know you'll replace (or replace the bearings) every year.

Another one I liked was the Wellgo MG-1 but they seem to no longer be
cheap. I swear I only paid $25 for the first pair 4 years ago but last
year they were going for $70.

I haven't done any Cokering, i have ridden a 29er though, but one thing
with any pedals i have ridden on, this is my preference, but if you
have the pins on the front part of your pedal, higher, then the ones on
the back, it helps a lot.

You can try doing that with your pins, or another arrangement, and
pedals i really like for riding, are Konas, not sure exactly what kinda
they are, but they say kona on them, and i got a pair for 15 dollars at
my LBS, very light, very grippy, and haven't broke yet. =p

Hi I have found the pedels in the DMR range to be very good, totally re
buildable down to the shell, go on chainrectioncycles.com or type DMR
pedals in to google, the standard pedal is £20, the better one is £40
and the magnesium version is £50. I use a mag on my uni and a £40 on my
mountain bike. They are truly excelent and can only be matched by
shimano dx, which is "The" platform pedal 🙂 - - GO DMR

I'm awaiting my Hunter frame that will make my Coker no longer have any
Coker parts on it. Where I ride is quite hilly. I find that on long
decents occasionally my feet will slide forward on the pedal. So far
not enough to cause a problem. I have some older schwinn BMX pedals I
bought because they were red. They are pinned and OK but it seems I
need something grippier. I want to have new pedals for my "new"
"Coker". Does anyone have a pedal preference for hilly distance riding.
Thanks in advance.

I use snafu's for my coker. I would recommend trying different shoes
when you ride because your shoes definitely make a difference in how
much grip you have! I have found that flatter shoes with less
design/tread/etc on the bottom give you the most grip.

I used to have stock plastic and they were worthless. My first upgrade
was to Wellgo B-35s (yellow) which were a substantial improvement.
Those moved to my trials unicycle and I put Wellgo B-25's (chrome
plated) on the Coker because they couldn't take the MUni riding I was
doing (I lost both a left and right pedal but had bought two pair.) I
find the Wellgo B-25's to be the grippiest of the bunch but they still
allow me to easily move my feet on the pedals while wearing the Airwalk
flat sole shoes that I use for Cokering. Since they are chrome they
match anything.

I use Miyata plastic cross pedal
the problem is that they are too grippy: it is hard to place my shoe if
misplaced (happens often since they have a small surface)

Yeah I ride in Vans which are great for riding. I just thought to try
the Haro Big Blocks that are on my Trials. I think they'd be perfect.
(Alas, my poor neglected trials uni) I like the look of a huge pedal as
well as the grippiness. I really would like a set of those Speedplays,
but I don't wanna spend $100+ on pedals right now.

I ridden 2 decent rides on the Haro big block pedals. They are great. I
used to have to adjust my foot position numerous times during a ride.
They are huge and there is so much contact with my shoe. I feel more
control on hills. These pedals a great.
