  1. James Potter: hopefully, i understand your post right, but the pedals
    don't have 4 flat-head screws, the plate does. If you look at the pic,
    the plate attaches to the pedal by pinching it (using 4 screws) between
    2 horizontal strips of Lexan and the Lexan plate. So, all you have to
    worry about is that the plate and the strips are the proper dimensions
    to fit onto the pedals that you want and that the pedals have the holes
    in the sides to fit the strips though. Since i'd assume that most
    pedals have roughly the same dimensions and that almost all have the
    holes for the strips, your pretty safe. Just look at the pic of the
    pedal to make sure the holes are there, but you may need to call them
    about the dimension thing.

  2. For grim muni, Weyless B-67 CNC Platform Pedals.

    Big platform and screws in the middle make for the best traction out
    there -- a boon for rocky stuff where the feet tend to slip. Nothing's
    even close . . . Not the lighteset, nor cheapest (39 bucks) but man do
    they grab.

  3. It looks like this is a non-issue now, but.....

    Don't get the bulletproof alloy platforms. They won't hold up, the
    reflectors tend to fall out, and they're not that grippy.

    They're pretty, though.

    They hold up well for me. True, the reflectors fell out, but who cares?

  5. i have the Odyssey Jim Cielencki Platform Pedals with Pins and they work
    great right now for me, i attached a grind plate to the bottom of them,
    and so far its standing up great. I just got to get better at doing
    grinds.

  6. Thanks, but I got some now. They're BMX 'bulletproof' or whatever those
    are called.
    And I've decided to give up on grinding.
    1) it's not that good (in my opinion)
    B) it damages public (or private) property unless done in a skate park

    *The Jim Cielencki odyseey's are ok the pins pop out in pedal grabs
    from what I hear.

    Not true! Jim Cielencki is famous for doing pedal grinds on his BMX and
    he designed his pedals specifically to stand up to that sort of abuse.
    I've had a pair on my trials uni for about 6 months and done plenty of
    pedal grabs and grinds on them and not lost a single pin. This is
    compared to losing 3 pins in one ride on Snafus.

    Jim C's are some of the best pedals I've owned.

    Wow, thanks. I just got a new set of snafus ($15 USD at danscomp). I got
    them only for the left pedal. My right one is fine. I've decided for
    concrete trials I'll ride the old ones, and for natural trials I can
    stick the new ones on. that way it improves the lifespan of the pedal.
    But if the Cielencki's are that good, I'll get them next time. I just
    didn't think the pins would hold.

    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?
