    Hi,
    I need new pedals for my Muni and was considering Atomlabs also. Does
    anyone have any opinion on the Aircorp vs the TrailKing. I am not sure
    what will be best for Muni. I went to 'www.atomlabs.com'
    (http://www.atomlabs.com) and I did not really find out much about the
    pedals. Also the pictures of the aircorps in this thread look
    different than the pictures on the atomlab website. I like the looks
    of the ones in this link below. Very cool looking.

    I thougt maybe atomlabs just did not update their site but it says 2006
    models. Maybe I am missing something.

    Thanks for your help,
    Brian Maw

    Mike from atomlabs told me that I have the latest aircorp pedal, as in
    my picture above; same as their website. Only thing they haven't
    updated is that now they are using a "quad" ring instead of the "wave"
    ring as listed, which replace the earlier "o" ring. These peds have
    gone through MANY changes indesig and appearance, but the new ones are
    really nice...and THIN! As for the "trailkings", I don't like the
    design. The bearing caps are on the very outside of the pedal which
    means they're gonna get bashed up,unlike the aircorp. And the the
    trailkings don't have nearly as much foot contact area. Hope this
    helps. Btw, Mike is the owner of atomlabs, and was very accessible and
    helpful on the phone.

  2. I need new pedals for my MUni too, but...

    1. Magnesiums are light but wear a lot faster if you do pedal grabs and
    such...

    2. I don't like the off-set platforms... maybe it's just me, but I like
    both sides of the pedal to be centered around the spindle.

    3. I have really big feet(14 EEE). I wouldn't want to go any smaller or
    much heavier than my current Wellgo B-36s. Which by the way are an
    excellent and fairly resonably priced pedal at $76 bucks from Bedford.

    4. A lot of the pedals so far on this post are ugly. I'm not terribly
    picky, but c'mon, I'm a unicyclist, not a treki.

    5. I love having one side of my pedals smooth(pins removed) and one
    side pinned. The problem is, I love having both sides pinned too. Dang.

    Aside from those minor issues, picking the perfect pedal should be
    easy.

  4. They are starting to show the almost 3 years of abuse I've put into
    them. They click around a lot and I'm missing a lot of pins. Even
    though they are sealed I've broken the bearings right out of both of
    them. I'll still keep them around for when I feel like abusing picknick
    tables or grinding. I think I might just end up getting another pair
    the same, they've been really good to me.
