Well this is are first product reveiw. I don't know if I should be doing this on something cooler like an iphone or an ice chest for beer holding, but I got cheap pedals so here we go. First I want to say that I previously had Ruben Fly pedals which if you don't know cost 12 to 13 times as much as the odyssey pc twisted pedals. The Ruben Pedals were great for about 10 months or so until the spindle snapped clean in half. After that, I opted to get something on the polar opposite end (as in way cheaper),unsealed, and some what lighter. I picked these bad boys up for about 9.99 which was awesome compared to 100.00 bucks. The first thing I noticed was that the odyssey pedal really craddled your foot with its concave, which I love. The odyssey pedals also have plastic pins molded on them, which I guess is not to good because you can not replace them after time. However the pedals are pretty grippy and I think odyssey is going to address that issue with there next pc pedals. I also have to mention how well they slide for pedal grinds. The pedals are really fast. I have only done one pedal grind and it was out of control fast and half of my pins were gone.It was more of a curiousity thing, I usually do not pedal grind so the plastic pins are fine for me. In a 1 out of 10 rating I would have to rate the pedals at a high 7.5. I've been riding my pedals for almost 5 months and have been completely satisfied. I may never ride straight metal pedals again. The odyssey pedals are cheap,light, have a great concave,and are fairly grippy. I can't wait for the PC Jim Cielencki pedals.

Like grinding? I wouldn't switch them i think they'll be fine. but if you plan to do alot of pedal grinds then you may want to switch to aluminum ones they'll last a little longer. thats my thought.
