Title: Phil Woods California highway patrol pedals
Post by: oldschoolace on August 14, 2016, 03:17 PM: Picked these up today for £8 :daumenhoch:

They are silky smooth sealed bearing and pretty rare. Planning to mod them slightly for bmx use >:D

Post by: oldschoolace on August 14, 2016, 07:30 PM: Apparently they were the first pedal to receive formal approval by the California Highway Patrol. Hence the chp logo. One pedal has damage to the reflector area so the plan is to tidy it up and shape the good pedal the same. Insert some pedal pins on the top edge and cut some classic pedal V slots in the leading edge under Phil's signature

Post by: rooski on May 05, 2017, 08:32 PM: These had toe straps on originally, which explains the apparent lack of grippy bits. :daumenhoch:
