My friends and i are getting into grinding (again) but the pins on my
primo pedals really dont like to slide. So i did some research on RSU
and found some threads about pedal grind plates from a little while ago.
Some one was nice enough to link to a couple places that sold grind
plates for BMX pedals. Since im cheap and didnt want to spend 20 or so
bucks, Jake and I set out to make ourselves some. They were pretty
simple to make:
We found some sheet metal that was just laying around
jakes house.
We traced each of our pedals with a marker. We added little
tabs that would wrap around the side of the pedal so we
could bolt them on.
then cut out the sheet metal with some heavy duty cutters.
Then we put the flat metal on the pedal and used a hammer to
bend the tabs around the sides. (i stepped on the metal and
the pedal while i was hammering so it didnt move)
with the tabs in there final position, we could tell where
to drill the holes for the bolts and did so.
Then we put the bolts on.
Then end 🙂
Heres the pics:

Jake did the same thing for his wellgo pedal. It worked
great. I did kinda a sloppy job on mine but it worked
just fine.
There are a couple shots of us trying them out in our album:
