    Question: Which pedals should I get?

    - Eastern Magnesium
    - Animal Hamilton Pedals
    - Hoffman Sole Mate
    - Oddesey Jim Cs
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I ride street and trials so I found a few options (all unsealed):
    Eastern Mag pedals
    Animal Hamilton pedals
    Hoffman Sole Mate pedals
    Oddesey Jim C
    You can find them all on 'Dans Comp'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/www.danscomp.com) in the platform
    pedals section and i think they're all on the same page. Just ignore
    the prices too.
    Any other suggetions would be nice too.

  3. I have the hoffman sole mate pedals and I really like them. They are
    nice because you cannot strip out the pedal body. I have the orange
    ones, it says they are peach but they are orange.

  4. Spencer- Would you say that they are grippy enough for trials?

    I'm also interested in the Animal Hamilton pedals, and whether or not
    they would be grippy enough for trials.

  5. The animals are definateely grippy. they have those realy sharp kind of
    pins. only thing is, if you crush one, they would be hard to get out.
    that would be a small concern as it is kinda unlikely you could bend a
    pin easily.

    most pedals are grippy enpugh for trials. according to him they are
    grippier than jimmy cs so that would mean yes/

    Awesome. I'm in the market for some new pedals. I grab and grind with a
    grindplate, so I doubt I'll break the pins. Nice price on them too🙂

    EDIT: Have you actually tried them yourself?

    Well yeah, my brand new Hoffman pedals grip better than my old, used
    and pedal grabbed on Jimmy C's that I got from Evan.

    They come with an extra set of pins so you can pick between short pins
    or long pins. I am riding the short ones and they are still pretty
    grippy. I think they are the same pins as the Jimmy C's. The Hoffmans
    are lighter though.

  12. I'm also very curious about the hamiltons.

    Does anyone know what the weight differences are between the hamilton's
    and the J.C.'s?

    Does anyone know which is a better pedal?

    All I've been riding are J.C.'s...and I'm thinking of switching to
    something with a little more grip, as strong/stronger, the same weight
    or possibly lighter...without having to spend a ton of money. I'd
    rather not spend that much money on pedals, because of how much beating
    they take. Something's that's just going to get beat up, especially
    from pedal grabs, is not worth more than spending $50 USD on, in my
    opinion.

  14. I got a set of Animal Hamilton pedals the other week, I find they are
    really good for trials, they are grippier than the jimmy c's but I'm
    not sure about the other two.

    I did some research and found the weights of the pedals:

    jimmy c's: 697g
    animal hamilton: 601g
    eastern magnesium: 510g
    hoffman solemate: 618g

  15. Anyone have experience with Easton Magnesiums? They seem light, a good
    looking shape, are cheap and have great colors.

  17. One more question about the Animal Hamiltons. How well do the bearings
    hold up? The bearings in my wellgo's are getting eaten and I don't want
    to buy a pedal without decent bearings.

  19. I tired my brother's Jim Cs but I dont like the grip. they have
    significantly les grip than my Azonic Fusion Mags I have on My mountain
    bike. I'd use those, bu they aren't the BMX size that would be nice for
    landing tricks and I don't want to swiths pedals all the time.
