good product
For the price, these pedals can't be beat. They installed easily, and I ran into no complications whatsoever. They're light, strong, and all metal. Thus, my Huskies can't chew them. (yes, that's why I'm replacing them in the first place.) If they're Husky proof, they'll survive anything. Just be sure you know which axle you have before ordering, as the same product comes in two axle sizes. Mine were 9/16.
Love this product. The replaceable screws are awesome they provide excelent traction!
I checked the "would recommend" dot mostly because there is a real lack of quality pedals with 1/2 spindles, and these were relatively decent pedals when compared to what else is out there. The materials seem pretty robust, the allen screws that act to hold your foot in position while pedaling seem ok, and the pedal body itself looks like it will last a good while and be comfortable when used. My gripes: adjustment is a joke. The pedals arrived with the bearing load set too tight. The pedal was reluctant to rotate on the spindle without a bit of effort, and I could feel the bearings working much too hard against the races. Disassembly includes getting the plastic cap off the end of the pedal (I ended up drilling a hole in each and popping them out with a pick tool), removing the retaining nut and slotted washer, and then arriving at the adjuster nut itself. The problem is that all the adjustment has to be made inside the pedal body itself, which makes fine tuning the tension a joke. After packing the bearings with better grease, I was left to setting the tension at a particular level, reassembling the washer and lock nut, then tightening down on the whole assembly in the hopes that when it all drew together it would be somewhere close to right. It took a half dozen tries on each pedal, but it finally worked ok. Also, the lock nuts are made out of cheese, and one tightening effort resulted in a complete strip of the threads, so a trip to Ace Hardware was included in the pedal adjustment. Obviously, most casual cruiser cyclists won't care in the least about any of this, but if you want the best performance and the longest life out of these pedals, you will have to mess with them when you get them. One last thing--I took all the allen screw grippers out of one side of each pedal, so I can pedal barefoot on the smooth side but also opt for the increased stability by flipping the pedal over when riding with shoes or sandals.
The problem with these pedals for me was one of them had bearing that did not allow the pedal to free wheel properly. It would turn but too tightly. I didn't have the energy to send them back so I am using them as they came. They have a nice design but poor quality control.
