BTW, If u're just looking for the info, and not the anecdote, its in the
second paragraph 🙂
I've been looking for a pair of flat bottomed grinding
pedals ever since a m8 bought back Universe 2 from BJC and I
saw someone using a pair to slide rails and crankland boxes.
I've been able to crankland my onza 24" for a while now, but
its always been a problem to find anything landable cos the
stock pedals chew up wood and chip off stone, ruining the
furniture. I've had to practice on a massive total of 2
different items, a metal bench in the local skatepark, and a
concrete wall nearby. This has of course limited my
abilities, and when I saw that a flat bottomed pedal was
available I went into my local bikeshop at the first
opportunity... "Have you got any flat bottomed pedals?"
"Never heard of them!" And this was the stock response. In 5
different bike shops, even one that sold a 20" Nimbus
Training Uni (£85!) , No one had heard of a flat bottomed
bike pedal. I began to despair of the mythical grinding
pedals. People told me, they said "Why?, what would they be
for on a normal bike?" And i had to agree, from a 2 wheeled
perspective they were a bit pointless.
I had almost given up the search, until earlier today, when
after a frantic weekend searching countless bike websites I
found them. A pair of Gusset Full Throttles, black, £30 for
www.wiggle.co.uk "Rejoice" was heard in the streets, as I
went for a ceremonious ride through my village "celebrate
the day", and so on... So I bought them, on the spot, as
well as a 20" Onza Trials (Which I was getting anyway) So
now I am fully kitted out, for a new life of slides, hops
and rails. All I need now is some wax... Loosemoose
