Pedal Pins

I advise learning how to bail without slicing up your shins.

I've only hit my shins two or three times since I learned last year.

I do have shin pads, I just don't always wear them.

I would put in a good pair of plastic platform petals untill you get
better than switch back to the metal platforms.

or you can just wear shinguards, cheep soccer ones work fine but you
will still slice up the backs of your legs if that is a problem.

If the pins are screwed into the petal you just need to unscrew them
with an alan wrench to remove them. Sometimes the pins get damaged
making this hard to do.

yea, the thing is that i have been riding with the nimbus for a while,
and already, 1 pin has fallen off of my left pedal, and 2 off of my
right.

anyone have any recommendations of -cheap- plastic pedals that are good
for learning street?

They still are good as new. The hard nylon teeth can give you a scrape,
but nowhere near as bad as metal pins. Grip is very good, but less then
metal. Can't beat the 330 gr. weight.
I am using a 365 gr. dimension city pedal on my 19" now. It is the
most shin friendly of all. I never slipped off, until one day I forgot
about it, and did some hopping in the rain. Landed hard on my back and
got a good lesson.
These 8$ MTB pedals have decent wet grip. I have done a lot of rain
riding on the 36 without a single slip.

All Unicycles, except for Giraffes with 1 Piece cranks use 9/16"
Threaded pedals.

Maybe really old Schwinn's use 1/2"?

It will be fine.

'these are the pedals I used' (http://tinyurl.com/3yfzxp), they were
great

I realy like these because of the large platform. Not to expensive
either
