  1. Has anyone used these pedals? I tried searching but didn't find much
    information. I'm using Snafu's now, and have ridden my brother's Wellgo
    B-37's. I'm looking for new pedals for Trials/MUni and am considering
    buying these, for way less then the retail price:

    http://www.norco.com/05/news/archives/0304_pedals.htm

    Both my brother and I have had problems with the Snafu pedals with pins
    falling out by stripping the threads, even though I don't grind. These
    have more pins and screw in from the top so that looks better.

    Are these good pedals, what are the pro's and con's?

    Thanks for any input,
    Cameron

    Those look like some nice pedals! However, I would be worred about the
    removable plates snapping off if you hit them to hard.

    Does anyone use the Axiom pedals? Or even heard a unicyclist using then?
    They look very simular to the Welgo pedals.

    I'm sure Kris Holm has used them since they're a Norco product. I don't
    know what kind of bearing design the Axiom pedals have. One problem
    with the Wellgo and similar pedals have is they put a lot of side load
    on the sealed cartridge bearing. The bearing will eventually fail (fall
    apart) and the pedal body will fall off the spindle. Usually happens in
    the middle of a ride.

    Have you looked at the Odyssey JC (Jim Cielencki) pedals? They seem to
    hold up well to abuse from pedal grabs and such. Make sure all of the
    grip screws are tight to begin with and install the screws with Loctite
    just to make sure they stay tight. Not the most grippy pedal if you're
    also doing muni. But seem to be very good for trials.

    Pedals that I like for muni are the 'AtomLab' (http://www.atomlab.com/)
    Aircorp, but I have the old model and haven't tried their new
    bearingless design yet. I also like the look of the 'Specialized Lo Pro
    Mag platform pedals'
    (http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=11143). Should be
    a good muni pedal. I'm thinking of trying the Specialized pedals when
    my Aircorps wear out. But if you're breaking pins off I don't think
    either the Aircorps or the Specialized Lo Pros will suit your style of
    abuse.

  6. yeah they are a f**kin awesome pedal.

    the are very flat and pretty damn strong, i only broke one cos i grinded
    the metal too thin.

    i defintiely suggest getting them... they dont completely stick your
    shoe on (which is good for street) but they can if you have a grippy
    shoe. for mountain and trials.

    plus if you dont really grind a hell of a lot, they will last you a very
    long time
