@YoshimuraCycling: Love my Chilao pedals! I've used them for 2 seasons and have roughly 700-800 miles on them riding rocky New England Singletrack and they still spin freely, have no play, etc. I've snapped 2 pins off of my pedals and my wife has snapped one off of her set of Chilaos; all 3 were easy replacements, threaded right out. I know these pedals aren't cheap but, like Oldschool, i'd gone through 4 sets of lesser expensive pedals over a 6 year period and spent less than the combined totals of those on my Chilaos and I see no sign of them giving up on me and they just keep taking the hits. Some people like to spend a ton of money on cosmetic changes to their bikes (which is great for them) but I prefer to spend more money (relative to the average) on functional things, like points of contact and for my feet/riding style/terrain, these work very well. Also, Collin @ Yoshimura was great to work with as well!

@jenksy: Um, you do know that you can easily reapply DWR to jackets.......
