Pedals

I finally wore out the bearings in the plastic Odyssey Twisted pedals that came with my Torker DX24, and needed something new.

Sixty - pinned, aluminum, sealed bearings

Of course I chose something with sealed bearings, and I thought I would go for metal pedals now that I have proper shin-guards.

A couple of the local bike shops recommended the Sixty brand, and they were a good price. They came in a slightly lower profile magnesium version, and these aluminum ones.

I like the big surface area on these, as well as the fact that the axle doesn't go through to the end - where it will get beat up. I also like the adjustable / replaceable (very sharp) pins.

The bearings on these pedals (or any sealed bearing pedals) feel so very smooth compared to the non-sealed versions.

Edit: These pedals are really grippy, and GREAT for tough MUni. However, the long sharp pins have a tendency to shred the soles of my shoes - so it might be good to limit their use to when I really need them.
