  1. Now that I'm able to grind, I've been doing a lot of it lately. I
    curently have a pair of Redline pedals with non-removable pins. These
    pins keep wearing down. should I get new pedals with removable pins?
    Should I buy some grind plates? Shoud I buy both new pedals and grind
    plates?

  2. I say buy the DX pedals off UDC, and a kommando grind plate off
    danscomp.

    the DX pedals have the perfect pin positioning, also it will be much
    easier to grind with the grind plate, I can slide 10 feet on cement
    ledges...

  4. Before I got my grindplate, I just filed off my pins and used that side
    for grinding, worked great on metal ledges and waxed concrete. Now I a
    grindplate that spudman made and sent to me not too long ago, its very
    light and slides perfectly on everything!

    I havent tried the Lexan plates yet, but im sure they are great.

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

  7. GeT LEXAN!!!!

    they slide on everything, like park benches anything!
    they dont wear down at all. they counter balance your pedal so that
    when you mount the grippy side is up. they are not very expensive(I
    don't think $10 for a grindplate that wont wear down and slides on
    anything is very expensive) and they look cool.

    They are talking about the lexan grind plates, not the lexan pedals.

  11. Grind plates are plates you put on your pedal to grind on, so it saves
    your pedal, and makes grinding smoother.
