I'm running odyssey ones and love em but i cant say there any better or worse than other brands as odyssey are the only ones i have used.
For the sake of a tenner there worth a try.

Plastic fooking pedals, first thing you'd get rid of as a kid.

Why, don't tell me you want to save weight, take the change out of your pocket

 :LolLolLolLol: Cheers Nick, best advice yet. Didnt know if they were any grippier than my Cielenki's, i'll just get a new pair of them i reckon.

Cheers for the help chaps.

Dont be hasty... I first thought plastic pedals were sh!te but I got a pair of Primo.Really light and well grippy.But I dont grind or do any tricks that would hit the pedals on the coping.Feet dont move when on vert.I think they are fine.For me.

Yep the Primo Strickers are lovely, we've got some coming into stock tomorrow so might change to them myself.

I run Odyssey iPC at the moment, but only because I wanted some clear ones.

The Primo's are meant to be stronger as they are not as brittle as the clear/translucent ones - but I don't know if this is true or not.

Steve - give me a shout buddy, I can hook you up with some Strickers me old sausage...

That said if you break alloy pedals, don't buy plastic.

The primos are ok now I've got them sorted.At first after 5 mins riding the bearings came loose and rattled.I hate rattles >:(. I took off the end cap to find that there is no lock washer between the nut and cone.How strange. I tightened them together then glued them to the spindle.Sorted. :daumenhoch:
