LIGHTEN UP YOUR BIKE-PART 4
OK NEXT ON THE LIST ARE SOME OF THE SMALLER PARTS AND HERE IS A QUICK RUNDOWN ON THE LIGHT AND GOOD PEDALS
PLASTIC PEDALS
--KHE-LIGHT AT 16.9 OUNCES AND ONE OF THE STRONGEST OF THE PLASTIC PEDALS AND MANY OF THE TOP PRO FLATLANDERS USE THIS PEDAL.
--GT NYLON PLATFORM PEDAL-YET ANOTHER GOOD PLASTIC PEDAL AND WEIGHS A TOUCH LIGHTER THAN THE KHE AT 16.1 OUNCES BUT NOT AS STRONG AS THE KHE AND THIS IS THE SECOND MOST POPULAR PEDAL USED BY PROS.
METAL PEDALS
--GT PLATFORM PEDALS-A PRETTY GOOD PEDAL BUT WEIGHS IN AT 20.4 OUNCES SO ITS NOT THE LIGHTEST OF PEDALS AND ITS NOT AS STRONG AS SOME OF THE OTHERS BUT AT $23.00 IT IS A CHEAP AND REASONABLE BUY IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT THEN FOR THAT MONEY IT IS GOOD
--ODYSSEY TWIST PEDALS-THESES PEDALS HAVE A WEIRD TWIST IN THAT THEY ARE TWISTED AND LOOK WARPED AND YOU MIGHT THINK THEY WOULD FEEL WEIRD BUT THEY ACTUALLY FIT YOUR BOTTOM OF YOUR FEET WELL WHEN PIVOTING AROUND TO GET IN POSITION TO DO SOMETHING. THESES PEDALS ARE 18.6 OUNCES SO THEY ARE A GOOD 2 OUNCES LIGHTER THAN THE GT PLATFORM PEDALS.
--PRIMO TENDERIZERS-THESES PEDALS ARE THE BIGGEST IN SURFACE FOR YOUR FEET BUT IS ALSO VERY VERY HEAVY AT 23 OUNCES AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO TWEAK AT THE PEDALS SPINDLE AND HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO LOOSEN UP ALOT WHERE AXLE NUTS ARE AND THE PEDALS MAKES REAL BAD NOISES WHEN YOU DROP YOUR BIKE DOWN FROM A TRICK AND IM ALL FOR THE BASKETBALL SOUND AND NOT HEARING A BIG CLUNK.
--S&M DX PEDALS-THESE ARE THE LIGHTEST OF THE METAL HEADS PEDALS THAT ARE IN THE REASONABLE PRICE RANGE AND THEY WEIGH IN AT 18.1 OUNCES AND AGAIN THESE PEDALS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO TWEAK AT THE PEDAL SPINDLES AND HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SPINDLES NUTS COMING LOOSE AND BEING STRIPPED BUT AT 13.00 A PAIR THEY CAN BE EASILY REPLACED.
--S&M PRO PLATFORM-YET ANOTHER S&M PEDAL AND IT WEIGHS IN AT 19.2 OUNCES AND LIKE ANY OTHER S&M PEDAL IT HAS THE SPINDLE PROBLEMS LIKE THE S&M DX PEDALS AND PRIMO SUPER TENDERIZERS.
--THE LAST PEDALS ARE FOR OF YOU WHO HAS SOME CASH AND WANT SOME MEDAL PEDALS THAT WILL LAST AND THESES ARE NOT CHEAP BUT THEY ARE LIGHTER THAN THE KHE STIMULATORS AND ARE HARD CORE IN TOUGHNESS. THEY ARE THE WELLGO MAGNESUIM PEDALS AND THEY WEIGH AN UNBELIEVABLE 16.1 OUNCES BUT THESESM PUPPIES COST A WHOOPING 70.00 A PAIR BUT WAY WORTH THE COST.
