Stickiest pedals

I use axiom double jump pedals, the pins on them are a bit over an
eighth of an inch long, they are light, cheap and strong. I would
highly recommend them.

I really need some new pedals. My current pedals are very crappy, so
I'm having a lot of trouble with my feet staying sliding off. From
what's available on unicycle.com, what do you guys think is the
stickiest of the pedals. I want something that will really keep my
feet from sliding off even in wet/muddy conditions.

As you may have seen from Tom's recently posted Joachim Miller gallery,
when my feet slip off the pedals, bad things happen...

Actually, I think what happened in that situation was that you were
trying to jump off the unicycle and get your right foot down on the
ground, but your weight was still on the seat and you had a bunch of
speed, so the right pedal came around and took your leg out from under
you.

I use Snafus and light hiking shoes; they stick pretty well.

Unicycle.com doesn't have any pedals that I consider especially grippy
(except for maybe the expensive Shimano's). Best from that bunch would
probably be the metal Odyssey Twisted Pro pedals.

I've been considering getting the 'Specialized Lo Pro Mag 2'
(http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=14968) pedals if
my Atom Lab Aircorp pedals wear out this season. They're listed on the
Specialized web site under MTB Components >> Pedals. They're $75 which
is about $25 less than the Atom Lab pedals. Still not cheap, but they
should hold up better than the cheap pedals.

Thin and flat pedals with the grippy pins do best for holding my feet
even in wet and mud. That would be pedals like the Specialized Lo Pro
and the Atom Lab Aircorps.

I think we're both right, Tom. I was trying to jump off, but only
because my left foot had just slipped off the pedal and things were
going downhill fast - literally and figuratively. When the right pedal
kicked my right leg forward, my left leg was already up in the air.
With both legs in front of me up in the air, I was in trouble. We're
really deconstructing this biff...

Aside from that, I was having the foot slippy problem all day. I'll
check out the Snafus, probably.

natappin, the Axioms you mention aren't on Unicycle.com. All the bike
shops in Palo Alto seem to be geared toward street and racing, so for
convenience sake, I'm just going to limit myself to what I can order
from UDC. Thanks, though.

just curious nick, why UDC, do you get deals there or something?

because there are millions of hard-core mtb sites that have gazzilions
of times more pedals than UDC, not that UDC is bad, but for the
grippiest, nicest pedals, you can look elsewhere online

-colin

p.s. those specialized pedals look really good, so do the Crank
Brothers 5050s

The Specialized pedals can be ordered from any LBS that carries
Specialized bikes. The Specialized pedals aren't at any online bike
shops because Specialized won't allow that, so you have to go to a
brick and mortar shop that carries Specialized.

i love my easterns. they have tiny removable screws that rarely
slip...when they do though, they will eat your legs if you're not
wearing shin guards. also, if you ever need too, barefooting is a
no-no with them

Wellgo B-36 pedals are nice. Light and really grippy, but I can't say
I've had tons of expirience with pedals.

Me and Shadowuni used to work at a Specialized dealer so we tried the
pedals on our Munis. They weren't really that grippy because there are
so many pins on such a small pedal body that our shoes (both 661
Dually's) kindof floated above the pins. We each bent ours pretty
quickly. Also, we were with Shaun Miller at a bike trials comp and his
left lopro stripped out 2 high quality aluminum trials cranks. I don't
really like any specialized products really, come to think of it.

The Kona Jackshit pedals (seen on this page part of the way down)
http://tinyurl.com/mt5fl
are the best I've ever seen for grip. I have the cheap version... I'm
not sure on durablitity, however.

Get yourself a set of pedals with removable pins. We can go to OSH,
grab some longer pins, sharpen 'em to a point on my grinder, then
you'll never worry about slipping again. Sure, the soles of your shoes
will be shredded after a half-dozen rides, but it'll take a miracle to
get your feet off the pedals.

Heck, we could even thread some fatty barbed fishhooks and put 'em in
your pedals. Just make sure you get your foot in the right place when
you push down 🙂

Seriously, just grab a pair of pedals with removable pins and you have
infinite possibilities for grip... just make sure the body of the pedal
is relatively beefy... some of those Snafus get thin in places and have
a tendency to break (ask Corbin or Bevan)... also stay away from
Wellgos, the bearings have a tendency to fail.

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.
