I thought the Slim Jims were good pedals! They were grippy enough for me, pins did tend to dissapear quickly though, but you get spares with them. Plus you can just buy a load of grub screws from a bolt/bearing place for cheap. They look good too! Another downside is the bearings started to go after a good few months, maybe from big drops etc... Gave them to my bmxer mate and he finished them off! I've got some Primo Stricker pedals on now, unsealed magnesiums, and they're mint! Had them for months and only lost one pin!
