i am using these, have been for a good few months now. i took all the pins out one side which confuses people that go on my bike but also it makes me only use one side so i dont damage the pedal on the side i use. i have not lost any pins at all and they still look in mint condition (on the side with the pins in) :P . and for £17 or what ever they are now they are well worth it.
i wouldnt bother with these expensive things. if you do want to spend a lot go the whole hog and get them assult racing pedals for £120, not this half arsed £50 bollox :)" :D :P
