Gusset Slim Jim Pedals

[lil Jsy Chris]

I have a Koxx Levelboss with bright green rims. At the moment I have Try All double cage pedals, they are good but quite weak. I was thinking of getting some Gusset Slim Jim pedals from Tartybikes because they look strong and come in bright green. Do you think that I should get them? If not do you know of any other good pedals that come in bright green and where from?

Cheers, Chris

I've got the mag version on my bmx and they are really nice pedals, had several large smacks and only one pin has semi pushed through

other than that, i have had no troubles

[poopipe]

They're really nice to stand on and have just about the right amount of grip (without tearing your shoes to shreds) but my pair only lasted 3 or 4 months on the bmx before the bearings went (thats the ally ones).

If you're not hard on pedals they'll probably last you a fair while but if you are, they won't.

I think Hoffman sole-mates come in green, oddyssey do all their stuff in stupid colours now, fly and animal pedals probably come in green too - check alansbmx.com

of course you could just spray some not green pedals

Hi there mate,i have some on my bmx for £30 you cant go wrong really sealed bearings,pretty light,good coulour choice (green),only down fall is i dont think that they are that grippy so what bike they go on, larger pins might help,shane.

If you're not hard on pedals they'll probably last you a fair while but if you are, they won't.

Agreed. Mine sucked. I wouldn't purchase a pair again.

You might want to check out the Primo Balance pedals in Mag. £30 from Firmbikes.

There are enough suggestions in the FAQ part about pedals. Check out the top of trials chat. You won't be able to post but you can still read.

Alright Chris!

As you know I've had my (bright pink) Gusset Slim Jim's for quite some time now. They do feel very nice to stand on but i wouldn't take it any further than that. Even though they have sealled bearings, there is only one bearing in each pedal, the other side is floating on a heap of grease (not good to be honest) which puts s**t loads of strain on the bearings, making them fall apart quicker, also the pins come loose very easily and drop out with the smallest of knocks (hence the reason why they give you a huge supply of spare pins in the box).

ALTHOUGH... You are a smooth rider, and you won't be doing anything too big, so if you like them, get 'em, but I reckon you should browse the net a bit more first!

The thread just died on mine. Replacement pins, well what am i suppost to do with them

[Gandalf the Yellow]

for the money they're pretty good, i had mine for about 8 months now, haven't lost a pin but the bushings seem to be gone on them and making a crap rattling noise, apart from that the bearings seem to be alright.

but i won't buy a pair again cos i want to try DX's, i've heard good reviews about them.

maybe you should consider spraying the pedals? at least you have a wider choice.

I would deffinatly recomend them

I've been using them for a few months now and they've been great.

Good grip and very strong.

GET SOME!

[gianttrials]

personally dont like em, but try em out if you can on some1 elses bike, if you like em then get em

[BenLeacock™]

Ive never riden them but i would reccomend the DMR V8/V12 These are great pedals and last long, not sure if you can get them in bright green, have a look

I had some on my BMX and after a month they were shagged , Proper making noises and i stripped them got new barings and regreased them but they just were never the same.

I was probably unlucky, i think i am going to buy another pair sometime soon.

Which is the same price, near enough, i believe.

[mr_malcolm]

i know loads of people who run them on their bmx's and find them great.

i have ridden on a few aswell and they feel nice underfoot and seem to last quite a while.

[gu_lew]

i havent ever ridden em but i have got onza shin-digs are they are gr8 in all weathers had alot of bails with em and apart from a few minute scratches threre fine.

[jsy trials matt]

Hey Chris

I would get them ,as you have seen John's they come in the exact green you will need for your rims and are strong, but if you lose the pimpels i dont know where you will be able to get new one's , i would take the risk and get them , but we all know what im like

But as we know they are still a bit pricey

good pedals, had mine for about 8 months now if not more. they feel nice, grip well and aslong as you dont land to pedal alot, last a while too.

[ALEX@BIKETRIALSFUN]

Yes defiantly get a pair soon I’ll be getting a pair they look so pimp oh what one’s you getting steel/titanium

Edited June 3, 2007 by ALEX@BIKETRIALSFUN

[Simpson]

Might have to get me a pair of these TIT anium ones then

[Mod Man Leo]

Does the paint come of like the DMR's? Cos its stupid, you put your bike down and pick it up and half the paint on your DMR's are missing.

[gu_lew]

have you considerd the onza shin digs?? they are cheap and gr8 pedals they dont come in different colour but are very strong and very hard to sratch lol
