hey guys, can i ask a favour? take a look at my bike. im torn between the brown easterns and the odysseys. whats you opinion, do you think that the fact that the brown ones would look sick outweighs the fact that they are more expensive (although im not sure of the price??) or do you think that i should go with the potentially cheaper option which wont look as good? bearing in mind grip qualities, etc....
any help appreciated.

just go with the easterns, if you dont like them you were only out like 15 bucks, and then you could just try the oddysseys if you wanted too

THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL BMXers CONTEMPLATING BUYING ANY FORM OF PLASTIC PEDALS
THE BOTTOM LINE IS DONT.
I WENT OFF A (2 FOOT!) GRASS HUMP AND LANDED PRETTY SMOOTH AND MY f*ckING PEDAL BENT TO SHIT (ODYSSEYS)- SO I WENT OUT AND GOT EASTERNS, THEY WERE GOOD FOR AROUND A MONTH UNTIL THEY TOO BENT!
GET METAL PEDALS
PLASTIC IS DEAD.
THEY STOPPED MAKING PLASTIC ON RALEIGH BURNERS A LONG LONG TIME AGO!
AND FOR A GOOD REASON TOO!
matt
p.s. i now have odyssey limited edish orange metals.
nicest pedals of all time.
despite the weight difference.
thanks

Just buy a pedal with a wide surface area
-Demolition makes some wide ones=http://www.danscomp.com/465191.php?cat=PARTS
-Twisted PC's are wide as well=http://www.danscomp.com/465058.php?cat=PARTS
-Odyssey trail mixes=http://www.danscomp.com/465131.php?cat=PARTS
-Pemium slims are wide and pretty cool looking too=http:http://www.danscomp.com/465046.php?cat=PARTS
-and macneils "Slipless" (superquote)pedals=http://www.danscomp.com/465256.php?cat=PARTS>>>
wait for $140!?!? i don't think so macneil!





BTW= any pedals are slippery when wet.
actually, pretty much everything is slippery when wet...
