I hate pedals.

I know a lot of people like jimmy c's and snafu's but I haven't tried
either one. i have never had any pinned pedals but when my dx arrives
they will be my first pinned pedals. I have thought about getting the
primo tenderizer pedals because they look good and I have always liked
them.

Yes there are better and stronger pedals.
If you're doing trials or street then try the Odyssey Jim Cielencki
pedals.
If you're doing muni you'll want pedals with more grip than the Jim
Cielencki pedals. My suggestions for muni pedals would be pedals like
the Atomlab Aircorps, but they're also about $100. I stopped using
cheap pedals for muni a long time ago.

The DX (wellgo?) pedals are [censored]. I can't say it any other way.
They're just [censored].

Snafus are okay but they aren't quite as beefy as the JCs. If you're
doing pedal grabs you will break your Snafus sooner than later.

If you don't like the pin height of the JCs they're easily available at
your corner hardware store in many different lengths. Problem solved.

The way I see it, the JCs are the be-all, end-all of metal pedals.
They aren't for freestylers, but if you're riding anywhere outside the
gym, you should be riding JCs.

Alright, y'all have convinced me...not that much more money for better
pedals...I'll get the JCs.

Thanks y'all

eh, the jimmy c's aren't *that* great. they're pretty heavy, and are
designed for bmx so you don't feel like you're clipped in and so you
can get your feet off them to do no footed tricks. snafu's (i think)
are better but not quite as sturdy for street. there are grippier
pedals, and a few tougher, but probably none tougher at that price,
plenty grippier though. snafu, kona, and a few others are one's i've
tried that are grippier than jimmy c's.

primo balance

Depends on what you like in a pedal. The Primo Balance pedals don't
have the offset parallelogram design that the Odyssey JCs have. The
offset parallelogram design makes it so the pedal will automatically
flip to be flat under your foot no matter how you step on it. The box
pedals, like the Primo Balance can end up vertical under your foot if
you step on the wrong. Some people like the offset parallelogram
design and others don't. It also depends on the type of riding you do.
Just realize there are differences in general pedal designs and that
there are different shapes for different folks.

I love the offset parallelogram style pedals. I never have to line up
the stupid things. I would hate having to do that. I also think that
the parallelogram design ones would grind better because since they are
on the angle at the front they will be less likely to get stuck on
something. Am I right?

Also these pedals are very rough and they have non removable pins, This
is great if you don't mind building and putting a grind plate on but
some riders prefer a flat smooth pedal with removable pins so that they
can slide directly on the pedal.

We've found that for Muni, Shinburgers are excellent. Wide platform
gives great support on drops and 20+ fixed teeth on each pedal yields
great traction for bumpy rolling. Drawbacks are weight and price. But I
defy you to wear them out.

Here's my stupid response:

I read the thread title and thought: Fine, if you hate pedals, don't
use them. No one's making you. Just take them off and you can either
ride on your cranks or wheel walk everywhere then hop on your tire.

Problem solved.

Seriously...
Freestyle - who knows, some rubber or plastic pedals
Street - JC's, best all-round: grinding, flipping, spinning, grabbing,
etc. The give good grip, but don't stab you in the legs!
Trials - I'm not sure. Snafus or JCs would be fine.
Muni - Snafus, probably, since they're plenty grippy and still pretty
cheap.
Distance - I'm happy with the Snafus, since i want grip, but there may
be lighter pedals out there if you're crazy about that sort of thing.

The lightbulb goes on. Thanks, being the original owner of an ancient
Schwinn and recently getting back into the sport, I couldn't figure out
why they did that on some pedals!

Hmm... those look just like the DX pedals with a few more pins. The
edges of that pedal look mighty thin and I'd venture to say they'd
break after any number of pedal grabs.
