Four months of learning to ride and I've finally worn out the bearings
on the stock pedals that came with my Torker LX 24, so I need to buy
some new pedals. I like the plastic pedals because I don't worry about
shredding my legs on them. Does anyone have any suggestions for quality
plastic pedals, or is that an oxymoron?
Somewhat related, I eventually intend to take my uni offroad, hopefully
sooner than later, but my gear isn't up to snuff yet. As I wear out
parts on my Torker - my tire is getting pretty smooth too - should I
replace them with more offroad friendly parts, or am setting myself up
to completely trash the Torker?
Please keep in mind that I don't do any big drops (nothing more than
down a curb or out the air as high as I can jump on level ground), and I
don't have much desire to do so. Freestyle and XC offroad are the main
styles I'm pursuing, and I only weigh 140 lbs. So I don't need the most
bombproof, exxxxxtreme parts available.
