plastic whore!

where did you order plegs at?? there not even avalible yet... and the eastern pedals are knurled so they look like they'd do bad in dirt and getting caught in it. but PCs dont grip that great when there wet...
Plegs have been out for a while have they not I've seen them on danscomp for a while now.

dont get em... save up a bunch of money and buy the fly pedals (the ones wit the griptape on em) they are only 6 ozs more than the plastic pedals for the pair and you get metal pedals with metal pins and if u get a ti axel, i think they would be almost the same weight as the ody twisted plastics

they arne't strictly plastic. they're GRP, and for that reason really strong.

there more like fibreglass than plastic so they have good strength and stuff, but if you grinded something rough then they'd probably die! hahaha

I'm sorry but that's just stupid, the whole reason the pedals are being talked about is because of their price, and their weight. So for 100 dollars more it seems like your suggestion is completely useless. I'd pay for 13 buks for a decent pair of plastic pedals, then 100 dollars more for a metal pair.
