Pedal protectors are coloured rubber, so not matter how often you drop
them they won't show the scratches as much as metal would. Also, as
Evan says, they dampen the "EVERYBODY, LOOK AT THE UNICYCLIST WHO JUST
FELL OFF" noise your pedals usually make.

I also like them because I keep my unis indoors and they help stop me
from chipping / scratching things in the house.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

that dampening helps the pedals last longer, as the sudden stress of
hitting the ground is lessened. keeps them nice and tight.

Pedal protectors are most useful for indoor riding, as they're very
floor-friendly. But they're also handy outdoors to cut that awful
dropped-uni noise, as well as to reduce shock and impact on the pedals,
helping them last longer.

But they do add weight. My Coker is heavy enough, so I haven't tried
them on there, but on the other hand it's all about training so why
not? When Cokers fall over, they land HARD.

Did you try the 'Click Here'
(http://www.unicycle.com/PedalProtectorInfo.pdf) link on their site?
It shows the pedal shapes, so maybe you can just do a comparison.

I have them on all my unis, including my coker. Cheap insurance for
me.

they also slow your uni down when you upd, cause as soon as the pedal
hits, the rubber grips the road and stops you from having to chase
after it. i'd assume this is more of a problem of big wheels because of
the greater inertia.

They also make the uni bounce 10' in the air. But I found that my nuts
and bolts don't vibrate loose as quickly with them on. I had to modify
my pedals (odessy pc's) for the protectors to fit. One of them broke
off 3 days later, but I think that was my fault. I'm sure they'd be ok
on any pedals that don't need modifying. They're ok I guess. Just make
sure you do your pedal modification very carefully and according to the
instructions, if it's necessary.

Me too.

I've had a couple of 'incidents' in London where the metal pedals on my
29er have come in to contact with cars bodywork. With the N36 being
wider and less manoeuvrable, I did't want to risk scratching anyones
car, even if it is their fault.
