WELL everyone here is gonna tell you grind plates.. honnestly I think
it's such a waste of money/time.. just take a grinder and grind your
pins out if u cant just unscrew them..

I have the danscomp plates. I think they work extremely well.

i have a danscomp plate and it provides a much smoother, faster grind
than pin-less snafus and jimmy c's. it also provents pedal wear and is
easy to remove. i put it on for street but take it off for trials
because it makes pedal grabbing more difficult.

the lexan is etremely tough, and although it gets scratched it does not
get structurally damaged in any way. -i have not tried many
gap-to-pedal-grab's on it though. im sure if it was to snap or crack
then that would be how.

Cheers,

Max

well, i`ve been trying and grinding my pins off...
but i really think i'd better stop it, and get myself a grinding
plate... fast.
one of the reasons is that, as i dont have one side of pedal that i can
see its diferent, i'm f***ing both sides of it...
and that sucks...
oh... i guess plastic slides better, but metal seems to be safer (or
slower...)
... yeah...
thats it.

If you grind off the pins or take them out it is really easy to land on
the smooth side making it hard to ride out of tricks. If you get the
grind plates then it's weighted enough to not have that problem.

I use cheap plastic pedals with a cromoly axel from some bmx pedals.
They slide good, and i wirte grind on one side and pedal on the other
to make sure i only wear out one side. They're good pedals if you don't
have 661's or just don't feel like wearing them.

Koebwil What kind of pedals do you ride? and would the dans comp plates

mean.

the danscomp ones i think are lexan. (i know some lexan ones exist) it's
a super tough plastic and should hold up pretty well.

Yes they are made out of lexan😉

I made a grind plate out of the metal that surrounds a cd drive. it
works pretty good I think, I don't know how strong it is but it at
least let me experiment with making one.

Hey!
If you are making grind plates for your pedals out of metal, DO NOT be
tempted to use aluminium! Aluminim "sticks" to most metals and does not
grind well! The most "slippery" metal is steel, the downside to steel
is that it is fairly heavy for all you people bothered about weight.
