stewie87 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 i think the majority of people on here ride metal pedals bit stronger and that, personally i use dmr v8's cheap and grippy as hell but pedals is always personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxRogers Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I've used Odyssey Twisted pedals before and I'm going to again. Hurt less, possibly cheaper, lighter. Just better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Do you have a budget? What pedals are you running now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 If I was you I wouldn't replace anything until it breaks, there's not a lot of point chopping and changing between parts until you've got the basics of trials locked down. Once you start improving and getting more experience you'll begin to notice parts that don't quite feel right for you, especially if you try out other peoples bikes. That's when you can start worrying about upgrades. The pedals on the Rip look fine anyway, only thing I'd consider investing in is some shin pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadflasj Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Most plastic pedals (ie plastic pins) won't last under hard use especially with concrete/cement and learning new moves. The Onza caged pedals are okay but if you have large feet, size 10+, a larger and stiffer metal platform will perform better. Also, its nice to have replaceable pins to account for both wear and adjust grip. Most decent shops will carry several diferent sizes so its relatively inexpensive to experiment. I just got a set of Inspired Team pedals and couldn't be happier, average weight but very solid and very thinly profiled combined with both pin types.
