Those pedals have so much grip in them its sometimes to much. So that the reason why ive kept them. Will change them out the minute the bearings go. But 2 years aint that oldschool. 10 years, thats old school

 I've mant that 2 years before it was my dream to have it, so I was so glad to finally have them, but they were longer before it. especially this version of yours with different print on it. that's true about the grips, not the number of it is important, but how they are planned on pedal. now I've got 10 grips instead of 16 and it works the same or even beter.

 Only thing i dont like is to long grip pins/skrews. They eat up your shoes. And can do damage if you wear a shoe with thin sole.
