Gravity Pedals

The stealth looking Gravity pedals may look unassuming and run of the mill, but the thin platforms have a number of interesting details that separate them from the masses of other pedals available. Like all of Gravity's products, there is a lot more function than flash hidden within these gems.
Watch the video to learn more about the Gravity pedals!
Instead of using a traditional and quick wearing small sealed bearings, the Gravity pedals turn on Norglide® teflon® bushings that are not only lighter, but also easier to service when the time does come. Spindles are made from high quality chrome-moly and should be up to any miscalculated landings or other abuse you can dish out. Keeping out the elements is a combination of square and round seals that provide B.C. worthy protection. The pedal body is secured with a dual C-clip system, one hidden and one visible, that is protected within the pedal body's cage.

The large machined pedal bodies are a reasonable 16 mm thick and have a slight concave shape to them to help keep your feet planted over the roughest terrain. They use closed end traction pins that taper to a smaller diameter where they will meet the soles of your shoes, but the real trick is how they are installed or removed from the body. Like a lot of pedals, the Gravity's pins use a small Allen key to replace them, but unlike most, you do not insert the Allen key into the outer most end of the pin. Instead, the Allen key goes into the base of the pin and is fully protected and surrounded by the body itself. Down the road when you possibly damage pins you won't have to wrestle with bent or dirt filled Allen key slots.
The 449 gram Gravity pedals can be installed and removed with either a pedal wrench or 6 mm Allen key, something those who don't have a lot of tools will appreciate. Available colors include only your favorite to make it simple, black, and come with a two year warranty.

Edit: ok like 50-60....but eBay has some legit deals
about the pedals... sweet there is both options for mounting - all pedals should have allen key option. but really? only 2 pins in the front and 2 in rear? come on people - I fill every threaded hole with a pin on my 50/50s and still sometimes want a few extra pins in the front. though must say, just got some 510 shoes and they really are extra grippy - even on my nylon molded pedals. just nice to at least have the option for more pins. they do look nice and wide tho

I'm struggling to see why these are so great to be completely honest.
