4. Weight, our claimed weight for this build is 445g (not sure why this is heavier), the 419g is for medium sized cages and the trail pins. The weights change depend on how you build your pedals, but weights are between 400g - 450g depending on build. We didn't want to compromise strength for weight.

In response to this review and to some of these comments. 1. Grip. Pinkbike asked for this build to test, however buy far the grippest option is the full flat with the DH pins, but they didn't ask for that or try that set up. Our platform allows you to test flat, concave and convex profiles to actually find out which suits you best (it might not be what you think). I personally run flat DH pins for my leading foot and trail pins on the front with DH pins on the back, for my trailing foot. This tilts the pins at a slight rearward angle. 2. Price. To compare the cost of our pedals, against a mass produced full plastic pedal using off the shelf parts is not really a fair comparison. Our pedals are metal pedals with only the outer cages being plastic. To produce the plastic cages is super cheap (hence the $5 dollar price for spares). However creating the metal bodies, custom made pins and insert's are expensive. Also being a very small company means we don't get the benefits of ordering 10000 at once (economies of scale). We also custom build each set in house. The real question is why are full plastic pedals so expensive. 3. Longevity. The initial design brief was to design the toughest pedals possible. I got fed up of ripping pins out of plastic pedals on every ride, or in some cases ripping the internals clean out. And metal pedals are great but they don't deflect impacts as good as plastic, and they are still easy to rip the pins out. As soon as you loose pins you compromise the grip. I've been using these pedals for the last 5 years and still haven't even broken a pin. And I'm not the only one. We made our pedals to be bombproof. Hence our 5 year warranty. But the review barely goes into any of this. Let the hate continue. Rich

We've sent them a few sets for testing, so disappointed we're not included again.

I was really enjoying the Sprung/Earthed vibes to that, then saw it was done by Alex Rankin. Awesome, more of that please.

@twodogsfighting: Sorry if we offended you, we were simply trying to explain why your statement was incorrect. If you ever come to Whistler we would be more than happy to lend you a demo set. Then if you still think they're shit, at least it will be an informed opinion. But in the meantime never let a lack of knowledge of the facts stop you from having a strong opinion on the matter :)

Yes but you can have up to 4 different cage colors per set if you really wanted. And we're only just getting started

@twodogsfighting: so they're clearly cast? Care to put some money on that? Maybe because it's bead blasted and then anodized that it's confusing you.
