new peddles

Yeah man. You can do that. Just buy a pair of Odyssey Jim C's.

Sealed or loose ball bearing is your call.

You want something that has good grip and is strong. If you wear skate
or bmx/mtb designed shoes this helps. If you don't have shin
guards/leg armor invest in some of those. A good brand is 611. They
sell the 4X4 leg armor at unicycle.com (or your bike shop might carry
this brand). I suggest this because you'll want pedals with metal
traction pins in them.

I beat the [censored] out of Jim C's and they last a long time for me. I buy
unsealed too. That way I know when I replace them...because by the
time they are all bashed up the bearings and housings are shot. And, I
buy unsealed because I do pedal grabs now and then. If you do pedal
grabs you're going to want something flat, so you can grab on to object
and not lose grip, and not destroy your pedal at the same time. Caged
pedals would not be good for this.

Hope that helps.

I have metal peddles on my mountain bike and like the way that they hold
my shoes. I was curious if I want that in a uni. My current uni is
who knows how old, I bought it at a garage sale, and the peddles are
rubber on an odd bracket. This causes my feet to slip the second they
are wet (if I step in the grass, mud, ect.)

You can go to your LBS and buy a pair of konas for about 15 dollars,
they have lasted for about 6months, and haven't had any problem with
them at all, the pedals are grippy, and strong, and I beat the [censored] out
of them lol.

Also, as trialsuni said, do get 661 shinguards, you can get the
knee\shin guard, or you can just get the wraps that will cover your
shins only.

Your really gonna want the shinguards, trust me, these pictures dont
lie, and they arent even the worse of what I got before I got my 661's,
besides, they are cheap, excellent protection, and very comfy. I
recommend to get a size large, unless your under 5 feet, but I doubt
you are.

Oh, if you dont ride your bike that much, you can take those pedals and
put them on your uni, well, in most cases you can. Also, if the pins
are too grippy on the pedals you choose to buy, you can remove some to
keep grip, but keep it easy to move your foot around on, or smooth the
pins out with a file.

Im going to second the motion for the Jim C's. I love mine. Very grippy
and you can customize your pins on each side. But if your on a budget,
the ones Jerrick suggested, Kona Jackshits, they are also a great
grippy pedal.

Thanks for the advice. As for using my MTB pedals they are bit to
aggressive for a uni. I will use the stock ones for a while and see
what I think from there. It does look like shin gards are a must.
