Every single (proper) bmx pedal comes in 9/16". Three piece cranks and
9/16" pedals are pretty much de facto in bmx. 1/2" is for kid's bikes, shitty bmxes and shitty
mountain bikes.

I'm not protecting Usenet from you. I'm just pointing out that you're wrong.

Make sure you get a good pair of platforms with the replaceable pins.

MTB Ride hard die free.

But how would you know unless you actually posted it and was told it was false. Otherwise you would
not post and it could be true, but you thought it might be false so you didn't post and then you
wonder if it was true or false and............OMG, I've gone cross eyed.

You post it with the correct qualifiers.

I'm just disturbed that there's such a clueless mtn biker in the 'hood. He must have been one of the
guys in that car that tried to run me over in Burbank on Thursday. They yelled something like
"clipless pedals SUCK!" as they drove by and threw a wadded up piece of gum at me. What utter
morons. BMX pedals are for 12 year olds.

BMX pedals are for those who can bunny hop without cheating. Clipless are for off road roadies.

I can bunny hop perfectly well with flats, yet I use clipless for mountain biking. Where
do I fit in?

I could bunny hop when I was 12 riding flats, and I can still bunny hop with flats. Why should I
ride with a pedal designed for 12 year olds? Just so I can prove I can do something? Sorry, but I
don't need to use a pedal for 12 year olds to validate that I can ride properly.

A pedal for 12 year olds probably could be translated as being a lot more fun. I've noticed that
most of the riders on flats are out there having more fun. Clipless folks moreoften seem to be after
speed and heartrate.

Brilliant! Pray tell, when will you be writing your thesis on the positive correlation between flat
pedals and positive human emotion?

He might look like a **** from where you're standing, Jock - try getting out of that crouch and
backing away a little, and you'll be able to see the rest of him.
