    I would say Eastern Plastic pedals for <$20 just do not grind on these,
    it will kill the "pins"

    But is depends on what you are going to do, flat, street, trials,
    muni...

  5. I like DMR V8s - they were about £25 last time I bought a pair.
    Some of the Wellgo pedals get good reviews and are quite cheap.

  6. It depends what style you ride. Snafus are ok for street if you wear
    shin guards. I'm guessing they are good for Trials.

    But I would say the best (strengthwise) metal pedals for anything big
    are Jimmy Cs. Those are pretty much unbreakable, never heard of a
    single failure.

  9. Jimmy Cs aren't that great in the mud, since they have short pins. I
    think you can put longer pins on though.

  10. ^^^^^^^^^^^^
    More importantly they're significantly lighter.

    I've had to put in longer allen or set srews in all of my metal pedals.
    Just get some from your hardware store.

    If I were to get pedals w/ that price limit, I'd get the Trailmix's.
    But what I really want are some Kona Wah Wah's ($80 US).

    Ive tried the Kona's/ they are insane. they grip so incredibly well,
    but DONT pedal grab. they are thin, and my friend bent one just BMX
    grinding on em.

    Weird. Ive had a set of Konas for maybe 4 years now. I constently did
    grabs with them, and wrecking and missing ledges and yeah, put them
    through every pedal abuse they can go through on a uni, and they are
    still fine.

    Ive already smashed most of the pins on my Snafus, so ill switch those
    out soon.

    Anyways, Snafus are great, its what ive been riding on quite a bit, as
    with Kona jackshits and Tiogas.

    im not picky with metal pedals though. I go into the shop, find a
    $20-$20 with a good ammount/longish pins, and buy them.

  17. 'These' (http://tinyurl.com/7357s) are definitely my favourite metal
    pedals. I use them for muni, trials and grinding. They've got great
    grip, plenty of pins, they're big, lighter than snafu's and Jim C's,
    and they're cheap!
