dezmtber Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Plastic pedals are great, and then they smash. Those cheaper clear bmx ones usualy first to smash. the nylon nukeproofs and those u showed in the pic, are stronger. But by a long way not as strong as alloy pedals, which last as long as the pins and bearings without a huge crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Trials Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) I don't get people who complain about echo axles, they're okay. Wouldn't dare run plastic pedals, especially in the wet.

Mark W Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I used to run plastic pedals for about 2 years or so, and all of my friends at the time did too. They're also more popular than metal pedals in the BMX world. People (including me when I had them) do pedal grinds on them, and even with that I haven't seen anyone "smash" a pair. You just need to look at the size of shit people are doing with them to realise that they're not the same cheap, weak, shit pedals you get on budget mountain/road bikes. Ben's been running the Odyssey plastic pedals the whole time I've been here (and longer, before that) and the axles and bearings have been fine throughout that time, and the bodies have held up really well too.

Well, at least someone on TF knows something about pedals. Don't know why there are this stupid stereotype "plastic pedals are poo, no grip in wet, you smash'em in one ride".

Clerictgm mk2 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) So clerict, thoughts on Vladimir Putin? He's a human, current president of Russia. Lol, what are you want to know? He's not someone who you can describe in one sentence. Question is too common, try to ask something more specifically. In general he's very smart, very rich (because of his intellect) and powerful. He's a good leader that done really much for country. Also it's must be obvious for you that power of president may vary very much, depending on alot of factors. For example Poroshenko is not a president, he's a puppet, that sucks balls of Ukrainian oligarchs and US (they suck US balls together). There was no revolution on Ukraine. Revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. What was happen on Ukraine is just a coup d'état obviously supported by US and they faithful dogs. Also supported by stupid infantile people that thinks if UA became a part of EU it would be paradise right off the bat. It's not that easy to rise quality of life of whole country. It's a very complicated process that will take decades and also may fail. I don't know why this idiots think that EU membership are rising their quality of life. They think like children. The most stupid in this situation was people (not mercs, ideological dumbs) that was jumping on Maydan for this "revolution" getting as a result total crash of UA economics, loss of the territories, causing this "war", tens of thousands of dead, injuried people, hundreds of thousands of refugees that for some reason flee to Russia, not in EU and US. And now they're really surprised by fact where they stupidness led them. Edited July 20, 2014 by Clerictgm mk2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 These are very good pedals, light, very strong and grippy as you like. I've been running a set on my Amity BMX for over a year now in all types of weather and I haven't slipped them once and the bearings are still silky smooth haven't ripped any of the grub screws out which is good and at £14 you can't really complain.
