Which pedals for muni?

I say snafus. The tiogas look pretty weak imo.

my brother has these http://tinyurl.com/3bcrlu

they are the most insanely grippy pedals i have ever experienced. the
only downside is that they are almost too grippy, sometimes it can be
difficult to reposition your feet.

I think you can find them on sale at www.pricepoint.com but I haven't
checked in a while.

umm, they are both the red snafu... perhaps that is a bit of a snafu

teehee!!

Out of those two I vote for Snafu, but the Jim C. pedals on
unicycle.com are sooooo good!! I love 'em. But actually I used 'em
primarily for trials...but they'd still work for MUni I think.

I'm gonna suggest the Snafu's. I have the DX pedals which have the same
pin configuration as the Tioga's, but I have ridden the Snafu's and
like the better.

I have some of 'these' (http://tinyurl.com/2qbldv). They are the
grippest pedal I have used besides snafu's. They are also really light
and I would recommend them for trials and muni. They are a bit smaller
than the average pedal though.

I would go with the Tioga Pedals. They have more grippy screws which is
important. I went expensive and bought the Bontrager Big Earl pedals.
They are very grippy and great pedals. However now after a month I am
loosing the Alen grip screws. Bontrager did not use lock tight seal and
the bike store wants a dollar for each replacement screw. I bought for
15 cents each from a hardware store. Also I don't like the fact that
the screws screw in from the outside and not from the inside. The Alen
holes get filled with mud and dirt. It is very importatnt to get
replacement screws with the pedals.

See the above link for a picture of the pedals.

'Shinburgers' (http://tinyurl.com/qut6o). All the grip you need, when
you need it. And they don't wear out (quickly). These are one year
old:

Is there something about the Aircorp that makes you want to try
something else?

oh sorry, i meant to link to 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/yv6sx6).

Of the two pedals you list, I'd go for the Tioga pedals for muni. They
look grippy enough and at least 6 pins per side are replaceable. The
Tioga pedals are thinner which is nice for muni. Thinner pedals are
less likely to roll under your foot and give you better grip.

If you do very aggressive muni in rocky terrain or do things like pedal
grabs with your muni then the Snafu pedals would be better suited. The
Snafu pedals can better handle that kind of abuse without the pedal
body breaking.

I think they are the ones he broke just before he attempted the 7 set.

I was thinking about these 'Tiogas'
(http://www.cambriabike.com/Shopexd.asp?id=9902), $75 at my LBS, but
settled on a $60 pair of Kona 600 gram sealed pedals (the best for my
limited budget of what they had in stock)

That's right. Although since re-crimping the c-clip on the end of the
spindle, it hasn't come apart since, but it's still bothers me that it
could happen again at the least opportune moment!:eek: So those
drilliums have even more foot area and are also very thin, but the
spindle is stronger and there are 3 pecision bearings per pedal (1
needle & 2 cartridge) instead of bushings. Plus Vivalargo swears by 'em
and that's good enough for me!

I forgot about that for a bit and was beginning to think you just had
an extra pair lying around or barrowed one for yesterday's ride.

I think a more concave surface would be good and those drilliums look
pretty flat, but kool though🙄

Wouldn't lighter pedals w/ pedal protectors last just as long and still
be lighter than some more heavy duty pedals w/o
I'm thinking about these next: 'wellgo mg1' (http://tinyurl.com/33vqer)
376 grams / pair:eek:

A few grams won't make any noticeable difference to me, esp. since I'm
already carrying several pounds of water on my back! :p But I like
pedals with LOTS of foot area width and are thin as well, like the
drilliums and the aircorps. When I went back to the snafus I felt way
more unstable and they felt bulky. But like anything else it's
individual preference.🙂
