they are ace better than 5050 hahaha lol they have good grip and run smoothly the only thing i would say about mine is that the paint comes of relativly quickly i got the white ones and are now 1/4 silver oh well great grip get them.
errrm if there better than 5050 how come 5050's are more expensive and fair enough mine mess up, but i've never seen anyone else who thats happened to, and i've rode my cousins 5050's and your v8's allan and the 5050's grip so much better..read mbuk they rave about the 5050's not the v8's
and i have a copy where they say v8's are the best pedals for the money and they go on about 50/50 xx do they not and they are almost double the price and they are not much better if atoll
quoting doddy - "I've been running crank brothers 50/50 pedals for an age. They dont mind being clobbered on rocks, and once the pins have been swapped for grub screws are as grippy as anything out there." mbuk 218 page 100

yeah I know that and I knew you'd pick up on that..why didnt he do it on the v8's then ..and I know v12's are better if you were going to bring that in..
they are not better i will tell you that now they might be equaly with extra pins or new pins if they stay in for long enough and for the extra money i would expect more and with the experence you have had with them i has put me off
