Luke Rainbird Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Also no.Metal pedals tend to offer noticeably better grip and are far more resilient to wear and tear. Plastic pedals would undoubtedly fall to bits in no time, and due to being a cheaper, low end option the bearings are likely to be a bit pants too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Good for bmx, bad for trials.They don't offer enough grip for trials so they would be far to dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 As you quoted that i best point out the bearings in the Twisted PC are better than the JC Unsealed ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabiot Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yeah I can't really say more than what has been said but I will reiterate... you probably wont have that great of a grip, the pedals might even break depending on what you're trying and how hard you are on your bike. Once you get a good metal pedal with like a nice 1/8"-1/4" set of spikes or whatever the actual term is, you'll never go back. You put your feet on those pedals and unless you literally lift it up and then off, they arent sliding anywhere. The grip is awesome. I guarentee you'll never go back to plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NileBrown™ Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=563 Similar price much better option.This man knows where its at, I have to say my V8 copies (the wellgos) were just as good as my v8s I had previously, only thing different was the Wellgos didnt have a 'Grease Port' go for these, who wants plastic pedals anyway.

Ben John-Hynes Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Wellgo pedals are awesome!I had the v8 copies, they were mint,Now i have wellgo cage pedals, they're great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
