    It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
    in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
    flip backwards then forwards

  4. Jim C's are very good, the sealed bearing ones run about $130 in NZ, but
    there is many many pedals and so many people have different opinions on
    them.
    Jim C's are great tho.

    Sorry for the german link haha, but they should be available in
    Australia in a while: http://tinyurl.com/35vzjg they're the new 'Qu-ax'
    pedals, they're made in the Wellgo factory with the exact same build as
    the Wellgo pedals, the only change is that these pedals are 40 euros
    and the Wellgo's are 80... sealed bearings, magnesium body, 376 grams.

  8. Recently, people were writing about bad sealed bearings in a Wellgo B-27
    pedal. I found this bearing supplier online that sells a wide variety
    of bearings of this pedal type. If you get the number off your bearing
    , I am sure they would have the right type for any pedal.
    http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/MBB/686zz1
    My suggestion is that pedal bearings do not appear to have a long
    life under harsh uni bashing. Sealed bearing pedals are a lot more
    expensive. Maybe 80$ +
    or so. I have read that sometimes when the bearing fails, the pedal
    falls off!😠
    I recommend buying a 10 pack tube of pedal bearings for 25 $ for the
    type pedal you buy. Note, at the bottom of the page they list a
    variety. So if you ride in swamp all the time you can pay a bit more
    for top grade seals etc.😎
    You might have more fun with the pedals by replacing the $2.50 sealed
    bearings every time one starts to go. Instead of waiting for it to fall
    off !
    I don't have the experience to recommend a good sealed pedal. You pay
    for lightness and strength. Just remember that the top of the line
    pedal uses the same bearing as the cheaper one. So it will fail to.
    The above link went to the bearing site, but not the example, edit
    try again.

    are they the same

    The Jim C's which come on KH unis these days are the standard loose
    bearing kind. The Sealed ones cost more, as you would expect. Basically
    means they should last longer, but some people seem to destroy anything
    they ride.

    If you like your Jim C's on ur uni then you should use them till they
    die, do you not like them? Have you rode anything that you do like?

    Yeah, that's what I would do. I am notorious for doing like this, my
    pedals are always wrecked, and well most of my uni :P

    But yeah, how retarded are they exactly? Is it a very funny
    retardation? (Borat quote, in case you don't recognize it)
