  1. Right now I have Odessey Twisted pedals on my LX and I have a DX on its
    way from UDC. Are the stock pedals on the DX better than Twisteds or
    should I switch em?

  2. their is no right answer. metal is commonly used for trials and Muni.
    plastic is commonly used for freestyle and street.
    I prefer probably the twisted because the DX pedals are extremely
    grippy. though I like metal pedals more.
    use whatever feels right to you though

    the Dx pedals break if you grind on them without grindplates.
    they are NOT grippy if your shoes arent.
    i would use the twisted personally, I don't like metal pins, and I have
    scars to prove it.
    the DX pedals are fun, until your shoes wear out.

    no the DX pedals are grippy in almost any situation.

  5. First of all everyone, the Twisteds come in both plastic and metal
    varieties. Second of all, I find the stock DX pedals very grippy, so
    much so I couldn't comfortably adjust my foot. I switched them out for
    plastic twisteds which are less grippy but easier on your legs if
    unprotected.

    For Muni/Trials, assuming you have leg protection, I would use the
    stock DX pedals, for street and otherwise I suggest the plastic
    twisteds.

  6. I switched the stock Wellgo platforms for Jim Cielencki's.

    Much nicer pedal, not too much grip, not too little grip, lots of
    concave, larger platform.

    No way, they're so comfortable compared to every other pedal I have
    tried.

    My BMX has VP-755's, a friend has S&M 101 Pedals on his Unicycle, some
    WeThePeople pedals on another friends BMX... Kona's, Axiom..... all
    other pedals I have tried.

    The Jim Cielencki's just totally destroy every other pedal I have rode.
