  1. Hey
    Right, my pedals are bust (again), and instead of buying Wellgos again,
    I feel like splashing out and getting something a bit more expensive.

    Any suggestions?
    I have been looking at Snafu platforms and DX.

    Cheers big ears,

    Joe,

  2. For muni or trials?

    Either way, I'd recommend DMR V8s or V12s- loads of colours, strong,
    good grip, sealed bearings, greaseport (great feature!). Can change the
    pin length too.

    Azonic A-Frames have fantastic grip look awesome, but perhaps are a bit
    pricey for trials at £50- good for muni. I think the pin holes are
    shallow so shorter pins are still quite long...

    Primo Tenderizers are great for trials- actually make that
    freestyle/trials/street. For pure trials they may not be grippy enough,
    I find sometimes I slip off them when hopping sideways with a lot of
    force. Great for unispins and moves where you want to take your feet on
    and off the pedals. Magnesium versions are light, but not recommended
    for grinding. Nice for pedal grabs too.

    I'm going to try some double caged pedals for muni as the grip is pretty
    good and they're light. Not twisted though... May be good for trials,
    but I reckon pretty quickly.

  6. I have DMRs on a couple of my unis. The ones with grease ports aren't
    sealed. Nice pedals, though. I also use DDG platform pedals. DDG =
    "Drop dead Gorgeous" = trade mark of Super Cycles in Nottingham. They
    are the Onza people. Roger speaks highly of the shop. I find the
    counter service a bit sloppy. Dunno if they do mail order, but I guess
    they would.

  7. I ordered my bike from Supercycles online and you can order most other
    things (unicycles included!) too. When I called the shop to find out
    about a delivery time the guy who answered seemed a little... dim to say
    the least. And a bit gruff. And got the delivery date wrong (not to
    fear, it came earlier!) But I called again recently and a different guy
    who seemed to have his wits about him picked up and was really helpful.
    They don't seem to reply to email though... 'Supercycles'
    (http://www.supercycles.co.uk/)

    Mike, is there a Just Scooters shop on the same street as Supercycles?

    Anyway, 'Chain Reaction' (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/) have the
    V8s on sale for £20! Plus free delivery!!!

  8. Hey Des, Im great. Hurting a bit - si and aaron have been up for the
    weekend. Been riding too much! :P
    I hear you are coming to the BBC ride on the 4th. Look forward to
    meeting up with you again. How is Gemma?

    Back to pedals, and I think I will go for the V8's from chainreaction,
    as they are highly spoken of.
    I shall order them now....

    Joe,

  10. I hear those grind plate pedals are bad. The plate supposedly falls off
    really quick.

    I have had good experiences with Snafus. They are not terribly heavy and
    have good grip. They are durable except the pins can fall out if you do
    a TON of pedal grabs. Other than that I have found them durable.

  11. Can anyone tell me exactly what pedals Kris Holm's uses on his
    municycle?
    Surely, it's not the Super Primos sold on his Pro-series 24".
    My guess is that it isn't the cheap wellgo pedals (of KH 24" fame)
    either.

    I am considering the Sunringle? pedals.
    The pins seem longer for mud clearance
    They are 25% lighter than Super Primos
    They have sealed bearings and look more durable than my Wellgo B-37
    They have removable pins

    My goal is to find some pedals with more grip and lighter weight than
    Super Primos
    WHILE having higher durability and less grip (so that my shoes don't get
    torn up) than the Wellgo B-37s.

  12. I *think* the KH 04s have Snafus on them, but I'm sure I've seen the
    Tenderizers on that red muni he uses.

    Magnesium Tenderizers are also 25% lighter than the standard ones.

    I have heard great things about the Jim Cielencki pedals, both from
    unicyclists and BMX riders. Alot of trials riders seem to like the DMRs.

    The Sunringle Zuzu pedals are not good for aggressive riding. The
    crossbar (where the row of 4 grip pins are) is weak and can break,
    especially if the pedal hits a rock.

    The Zuzu is a nice pedal and I use it on my Coker. But I wouldn't use
    it on my muni.
