sweet! i was thinking about getting some pc pedals and metal pins to fart around with, but i cant find a place to order the 2mm allen pins, dans only has the socket head ones left.

Update on the modification. After a good 2 hour ride on them, I must say adding the metal pins to the Twisted PCs helped out a ton even though I only replaced 6 pins on each side. The last time I had them out in the snow, my feet were slipping constantly this time around the ground conditions were worse and not one slip. I just used the pins from a set of pedals I had laying around so all together, $15 got me a real nice light set of pedals with amazing grip.

BMX is just returning to its roots but with higher quality materials, everything that they're releasing now started out as plastic back when.

Its alot easier to just buy metal ones, and not worry about anything
