I've been checking out the Komando plates from Dans Comp but I was wondering if Plexiglass would work just as well a Lexan or metal. with home made metal plates, you have to take the pins off. with a lexan/plexiglass one, you could make little holes for the pins because plates are brobably not verry good for trials. Any suggestions?

Let me help you then :p I say, don't make plexi grindplates, the wear out VERY soon and don't slide that good. I tried a sort a lexan to and the same about that one. Make some of metal.

I've heard that you can grind without plates on Magnesium pedals. Is that true?

i made a bolt on metal grindplate but i dont think it helps much pinless pedals work just as good although the plate makes it weighted so it stays down, but i still manage to catch it up sometimes. i think its just extra weight. ill try tog et pics but i dunno how to post them and all that.

use cutting board its cheap and you can attach it with zip ties or just melt it with a blow torch and stick it on like longboard slideing gloves
