to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

Some people make their own out of sheet metal, otherwise you can just
take the pins out of your pedals, or wear down one side.

If you use something like the original UDC wellgo's, or DMR platform
pedals, then you'll need a special plate to slide on since they don't
really have enough metal to hold up to proper grinding, and you'll
break the pedal after a while. If you use something more like Jimmy C's
though you can get away with just taking out the pins from one side of
the pedal, and after a while the pedal just ends up a bit worn and flat
on that side. Its personal preference, I've always done grinds with a
plate, but I might upgrade to Jimmy C's soon and just remove the pins.

Note: If you want to take all the pins out of pedals like the Onza
stock platforms, where they aren't all unscrewable, Kington99 managed
to get his other pins out by grabbing the non-screwable ones in a Vice
(Vise to Americans I think) and using that to pull them out. They're as
removable as normal pins but just with a little more effort.

If the pins are cast into the pedal body you can just file them down,
but pedals like the onza where they are seperate from the main body but
no unscrewable, you just need to pull them out.

Loose.

You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

a grind plate can look different, depending on what material it is made
of!

the danscomp plate is made of a fiberglass looking material (called
something else) but ones u make with metal sheets, look like metal
🙄

they r just a little plate that fits on one side of a pedal, and is
flat!!
