Vise grip works like a charm

+1 on Vise Grips.

If it moves when it shouldn't. --> Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move when it should, --> Vice Grips.

That oughta see you through 90% of lifes problems.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried installing an NS Rotary pro ss driver on an NS Rotary pro cassette hub? Both have 135x10mm female axles.

Hi I have 50/50 pedals with replaceable pins ,but they're all pretty much bent or smashed so I cannot replace/pull them out with a Allen key. Any alternatives to get them out?

Kinda thick and overly heavy but plenty of grip.

even a pair of blackspire sub4 pedals are great too, and at ~100 bucks for a set off crc they seem like a good deal and they feel and grip great (own a pair)

I'm fine with the thickness and need more grip, so they should be fine. I was looking through the interbike thing and saw the wellgo b252, they're fairly new and seem like the ultimate "bang for the buck" the AL is ~54 euro and the TI/MAG is ~75 euro

IMO the best value pedals are spank spikes

Most hub manufactuerers make through axle or bolt on axle kits for there hubs, so you basically just need to what kind of rear hub you have and then go from there
