Grind pedals-DX problem

You cant unscrew them. Get new pedals. Or just grind them down.

yeah. If you want really good pedals for grinding, get plastics.
plastics are good for ledges, and rails, but metals work just fine on
rails/

Do you need wax to grind stuff, or can you do it dry?

well it depends. for cement and metal, you dont need wax. if it is wood
you might, depending on how pointyy your pedals are.

I'm asumming you grind with your pedal.

well, doing alot of grinds smooths it out real quick

make sure you make one side of the pedal so that that is the side that
get grinded on, or you'll end up with a completely slick pedal.

If you get a grindplate you can grind with any pedals. I made one out of
a plastic cutting board and it works fine. You can also buy them from
danscomp.com I think.

On my DX pedals, from all the pedal grabs and stuff, it jammed the pins
in the pedals, and I couldnt get most of them out. I think I only got 2
out. lol

I just grabbed a file and filed the pins down, until the pedal was
completely smooth. Worked perfect, then I got a free grindplate and put
that on, which made it even better. I broke that pedal with a rolling
hop, cause it to brake in 3 pieces. =p

Now, I have Kona Jackshits, and from doing lots of pedal grabs, I have
knocked out all but 3 of the pins on one side of the pedal. I use that
to grind with, and it works pretty good. Ill make a grind plate for it
soon.

All my grinds have been on cement ledges, and some rails, but mainly on
waxed ledges.

I dont suggest the lexan/ cutting board grind plates

they are really thick, and cause your pedal grabs to be messed up
soemtimes.

they are also really anoying for street stuff because you always land
crankflips and unispins on the side of the pedal that has the
grindplate, causing you to fall off.

If I remember right, when I got my DX the 4 pegs in the middle were
almost level with the main body of the pedal. I don't know for sure
because I took them off as soon as I got the uni. Just take a dremel
tool and grind them down, it should be soft enough metal not to cause
any real trouble.

My dad has this one thing, you hit it with a hammer, and unscrews things
automatically, makes it impossible to screw up the screws lol, and they
always come out.

Really cool thing.

Haha, it is called stripping the threads. It is really cool if you want
to ruin your pedals.

Grind plates suck. Just like what Miles said, if you are doing unispins
or crankflips you land on the grind plate all the time. It is pretty
annoying. Plastic pedals are the best for street (well not big street).

or u could invest in the butterfly pedals and take out the pins on one
side, or as many as you would like...and tada you got a very smooth
pedal...
