foot jaws or rat traps
« on: September 14, 2014, 06:18 PM »
Always loved the 7 & 10's
And had planned to use these on my team build



But tried some ratty BM1's and they just look right

Restore the BM-1's Kev, the foot jaws are the wrong era, problem is replacing the rivets for the reflector cases after having them chromed, i'm sure you can find someone to do the black finish :daumenhoch:

Although they're not my favourite pedals, I think the rat traps look far better.

Bonzai and kkt's rat traps were in the mongoose catalogue, but the actual standard issue Team mongoose pedals were MKS BM-1's on a complete, ask Bobafet , he spent years looking for a set.
