I've got a set of the old Mallets and I've had no problems with them for a season riding on the shore, aside from having to regrease them once. The feel and ease of clipping in and out is awesome and I love the grip, but I'm sure they would proably disintegrate when smashed against a rock in Whistler, but that's what my bomb proof flats are for. As for Shimano, they may produce stronger more reliable pedals, but wtf, why don't you guys produce a clipless pedal with some grip?! A bit of slippery plastic under my foot is not what I want when I'm not properly clipped in and I've just committed to a sketchy rock face line. Shimano, sort your life out and give us a real DH pedal else CB will slowly capture the market as they make their products stronger and more reliable! The top DH guys use Mallets for a reason!

Inspirational. See you in Whistler mate! There's no better place on earth :-)
