  1. Hey everybody, I'm thinking of getting some of these pedals and I'm
    wondering if anybody has tried them, They look like they would have
    similar grip to jim c's. They are really light aswell. And would they
    take lots of abuse? I know magnesium isn't as strong as aluminium but i
    would only ever grind/pedal grab with a grind plate.

  4. Dude to be honest i would save your money. Magnesium pedals are only a
    tiny bit lighter then alloy/whatever else pedals. I dont think its
    worth paying all the money and the shipping and stuff when you can use
    pedals you can buy here.
    Whats wrong with your plastics? They are pretty grippy.

    I dont think i would pay that much for a set of looseballs anyway, cos
    the shipping will probably cost a fortune

    See ya,

  5. I would steer clear of any magnesium pedal bodied or titanium spindled
    pedals for a trials unicycle. They are less strong and much more
    expensive than steel and aluminum pedals.

    Edit: However if you insist on getting a magnesium pedal and want
    something with similar grip to the Jim C's might I suggest you look
    into purchasing the Magnesium Jim C's?

    Hey max, The magnesium onse are like 6 (120 grams i think) ounces
    lighter than the alu ones and thats a fair bit. I never said i was
    getting them from danscomp anyway :p . Even though i am, but im sharing
    shipping with ed and chris and some other people who are ordering stuff
    from danscomp.

    Well I'm not worried about the price at all, I know magnesium is less
    strong but it is a fair bit lighter too. Are people only breaking
    magnesium pedals doing pedal grabs and stuff or on jumps too? I'm not
    worried about breaking them on pedal grabs because I use grind plates.

    really nice and grippy. they come in magnesium and aluminum.they also
    weigh really light.
