    I just don't know alot about em.

    I know... that sealed is better, and it doesn't need maintainence as
    much. And I guess Magnesium is preffered over alluminum? I can only
    guess it's lighter. Also the part that screws onto the crank can make
    a difference. Can anyone tell me what makes a good pedal?

    I know this is just a, well.. you know. But in chem we did a bunch of
    labs and I know that magnesium burns brighter than anything. And it's
    really cool (not that I'm buying pedals to burn them) but does anyone
    know about that..?

    What do you want the pedals for? Trials, muni, Coker, freestyle, just
    cruising around, hockey? The intended purpose is what determines what
    pedal is better.

    Magnesium is lighter than aluminum. If weight is an issue then
    magnesium is better. However, magnesium is softer so the pedal body
    will get banged up more. So if strength and durability is more of an
    issue then aluminum is better.

    There is no one answer for what is the best pedal.
