  1. i use animal hamiltons. they're the best pedals ive ever used. good grip
    and extremely durable. ive had them for well over a year and havent had
    a problem with them. plus they come in a whole heap of cool colours.

  2. I use Xpedo MX-3.
    Advantages:
    - Weight.
    - They use socket-headed pins instead of the common allens. These do
    not bend like allens do.

    Disadvantages:
    - Replacement pins are hard to find (although you get a few with the
    pedals).
    - IMO allens provide better grip.

    So far they survive for 4-5 months and took quite a few hits, so they
    already survived longer than the Wellgos which I had before.

  3. I would recommend the DMR v 12 if you want a metal pinned pedal, based
    on strength, weight , price compromise.

    I use plastics a lot because I do a lot of hot, mostly level, sandy sea
    weedy muni over soft ground. I 've used the metal DMR's for this, but
    run the risk of striping my leg with the pins. The pedals are more
    dangerous then the ground. LOL

    So plastic pedals have a lot going for them in hot weather where you
    can ride bare legged. Lightest, cheapest, shallowest scratching, and
    some plastics have ok grip.

    I like Odessy twisted pc, and the dimension basic 8 $ MTB pedals.
    These two have the best wet grip of plastics I have tried. Some
    plastics at truly horrible wet. I think A E B still has the best deal
    on these, with their low shipping charge.

  5. I agree with Kobis that the Xpedos are great pedals. Currently I have
    Bontrager Big Earls on my MUni. They are not bad Downhill pedals but I
    don't like the Allen grips. I have had the Xpedos that Kobi talks about
    on my trials unicycle for over half a year now and I love them. The grip
    is amazing and they only weigh 416 grams. I am going to get them for my
    MUni as soon as the Bontrager dies.

    As for Hex head replacement pins. I am thinking of having a large batch
    specially made. Let me know if anyone is interested in ordering form
    me.
