  1. Does anyone have these? They really look cool and seem like high
    quality. They're called *PRIMO BALANCE PEDALS (sealed)

    *What I find interesting is that there are only 4 pins, and little
    raised bars in between them. I'm assuming that is sufficient for good
    grip.

  2. ooh la la, those look very nice. I'm just imagining having them instead
    of the ones I have - they look very comfortable and, I'd imagine,
    light.

    The mags sealed are 425 g vs 535 g for the alloy sealed, which are about
    $20 less. here's the web page:

    I'm wondering if a few ounces in weight savings will make any
    noticeable difference...what do ya think?😄😕

  6. pedals are all personal preference but i didn't really like the feel of
    the balance pedals, they aren't very grippy.

  7. i imagine those primo mag pedals you have the pic of actaully in the
    thread work well. they go with the few pins but well places strategy
    that snafu uses and those rock. as far as a few ounces weight
    differnce, unless you're crank flipping like mad, i don't think you'll
    notce much.

  8. I love my GT pedals on my BMX, too bad they're 1/2" threaded. I'm sure
    there is adapters, but I would rather have proper threading. Plus the
    pedals that come with the Torker DX are probably better than my GT
    pedals.

    My GT pedals are exactly like this, except they have different grip on
    them.

  10. I've been really happy with the 'Snafu (sealed bearing) pedals'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=524). I won a set at
    Moab a couple years ago, donated by Nathan. Not sure why he was parting
    with them. I put them on my muni to replace the original Primo
    Tenderizers. The Snafus were much grippier, with really zero slipping.
    I like them enough that I bought another pair to replace the original
    Wellgo pedals on my GB4 36. This has given me very consistent feel
    between my muni and Coker, which are the two unis I ride the most. That
    said, the Snafus are almost -too- grippy on the Coker, where I have a
    bit more trouble getting perfect foot placement during the mounting
    process. Sometimes it's a bit of a challenge getting things adjusted
    while pedaling, but once I have the feet in the correct position, they
    don't budge until the next time I dismount. I like them a lot.

  12. I have those expensive Tiogas. Came on my coker.

    Very nice platform for your feet, feel solid, and super grippy.

    I didnt realize they were that expensive though. Good thing I got them
    for cheap. =p

  15. As General Dibbles said, pedals are pretty much a personal preference
    kind of thing, but for Muni I've found the following to be important
    for riding in So Cal:

    Wide Platform. The super light ones (mostly cut out) don't give enough
    support for big drops and hurt my feet (you're basically absorbing
    impact on a couple thin bars--not good at 210 lbs.). And they gotta be
    grippy or my feet slip off during hard rolling. If the pins are too
    high it makes it hard to shift feet (on the pedals) on the move, and
    this is a necessary skill, where you gotta shift foot position from
    balls of your feet to over your instep during drops. I also like the
    pedals too look cool. So all in, these are my favorites:

    http://www.cambriabike.com/shopexd.asp?id=20688

    However, the Speedplay's are stupid expensive and at less than a
    quarter of the price (25 bucks) the Azonic Mag pedals are still tops in
    my book. Jess Riegel of the SB Muni club was the first one to find
    these gems, and he told the rest of us. I believe Jess likes them for
    street riding as well.

    I've got a set of DK Iron Cross pedals on my 29er, and I love them.
    Not only do they look fantastic, but they're really comfortable and
    grippy.

    They do weigh just about as much as all the rest of the uni though,
    although to be honest, for road use I really don't find that a
    problem.

  19. I've used Shimano DX pedals for the past 10 years or so (whenever they
    began re-issuing them) on both b*ke and muni. Rock solid, light-ish
    (480g), and durable.

  20. I've been using DK distortion mag sealed pedals on my uni for a while
    now.

    There awesome...

    light, strong, and smooth. They also look awesome(I have the white
    ones)

    They have perfect grip.
