Jim C's are very good, the sealed bearing ones run about $130 in NZ, but
there is many many pedals and so many people have different opinions on
them.
Jim C's are great tho.

Sorry for the german link haha, but they should be available in
Australia in a while: http://tinyurl.com/35vzjg they're the new 'Qu-ax'
pedals, they're made in the Wellgo factory with the exact same build as
the Wellgo pedals, the only change is that these pedals are 40 euros
and the Wellgo's are 80... sealed bearings, magnesium body, 376 grams.

I know why Tomsey is so good at backs and why Shaun owns at normal
flips.
It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards

Recently, people were writing about bad sealed bearings in a Wellgo B-27
pedal. I found this bearing supplier online that sells a wide variety
of bearings of this pedal type. If you get the number off your bearing
, I am sure they would have the right type for any pedal.
http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/MBB/686zz1
My suggestion is that pedal bearings do not appear to have a long
life under harsh uni bashing. Sealed bearing pedals are a lot more
expensive. Maybe 80$ +
or so. I have read that sometimes when the bearing fails, the pedal
falls off!😠
I recommend buying a 10 pack tube of pedal bearings for 25 $ for the
type pedal you buy. Note, at the bottom of the page they list a
variety. So if you ride in swamp all the time you can pay a bit more
for top grade seals etc.😎
You might have more fun with the pedals by replacing the $2.50 sealed
bearings every time one starts to go. Instead of waiting for it to fall
off !
I don't have the experience to recommend a good sealed pedal. You pay
for lightness and strength. Just remember that the top of the line
pedal uses the same bearing as the cheaper one. So it will fail to.
The above link went to the bearing site, but not the example, edit
try again.

The Jim C's which come on KH unis these days are the standard loose
bearing kind. The Sealed ones cost more, as you would expect. Basically
means they should last longer, but some people seem to destroy anything
they ride.

If you like your Jim C's on ur uni then you should use them till they
die, do you not like them? Have you rode anything that you do like?

Yeah, that's what I would do. I am notorious for doing like this, my
pedals are always wrecked, and well most of my uni :P

But yeah, how retarded are they exactly? Is it a very funny
retardation? (Borat quote, in case you don't recognize it)
