Unless you really, really suck at landing big drops, and you
do 6 footers to flat cement, you're not gonna bend pedal
spindles. I think you mean the cranks, which is ususally
what goes first. I've used cheap K20 pedals for the last 3
months, with static 3' drops seat out without the slightest
hint of spindle damage (I've also hit a few 5/6 footers, but
they were to dirt rollouts, so they were easy ont eh equip).
No offense to your riding or mechanicship, but I think
you've misdiagnosed. You bearings could be shot, or the
crank or hub is bent. And one thing, 4' seems big, but
honestly, if that's all it takes for you to break a pedal,
mabey you should lay off the 3 footers and up until you can
improve your form. I can do a 5 footer to a rollout without
bending a crappy lasco. The morale, if 10 four foot drops
will break your pedal, don't replace the pedal, stop doing
the drops.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out?
