Swann Morton is working on a surgical blade insert that can beattached to pedals...
Not satisfied with ripping your shins when their studded pedal is vertical, Nukeproof have now added studs to the edges of the pedal, all the better to rip your shins on a 360 degree radius:

Well, it's still an optional pedal, not compulsory. Pointy and stabby pedals are perennially popular across a wide price/quality range, though the trend is to removable pins, as you linked. That doesn't slow sales of things like this however: http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/dscf0440_copy0_blowup.jpg -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

No problem. Just wear shin guards: https://www.google.com/search?q=shin+guard&tbm=isch Personally, I prefer bear trap pedals for maximum shin damage: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/wellgo-bear-trap-platform-953-flat-pedals/rp-prod5207 Probably should be bundled with a first aid kit: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/43-hardware-first-aid-kit/rp-prod125037 -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

I've also heard "bear claw marks" and "wolf tracks", which describe what my right shin looked like after the chain slipped. https://www.google.com/search?q=bear+trap+pedals&tbm=isch I specifically selected an example pedal for inflicting maximum shin damage. Notice that the teeth are not quite sharp. That's probably to avoid injuring anyone in shipping. The Philips screws are obviously for removing the teeth for sharpening. The straight cage teeth are obviously designed to inflict maximum damage. A rounded convex cage, as found in the common "bear trap" design, only has one or two teeth that make contact with the shin. However, a straight line cage, as in this pedal, allows more teeth to make contact, thus maximizing the damage. A concave cage, designed to match the contour of the shin, would do even more damage, but nobody has seen fit to start a Kickstarter campaign for such a pedal. Meanwhile, increasing the number of teeth that make contact is a good temporary solution: http://i34.tinypic.com/2qktso5.jpg This pedal has 6 rows of teeth instead of the usual two, which should help maximize the damage. Unfortunately, the dull teeth will need to be sharpened before use. This version doesn't have as many teeth, but seems to be easier to sharpen: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=82451 If you made to here, you're probably wondering why this is important. The Christmas gift giving frenzy season will start shortly. I believe that such a pedal would make an idea gift for someone you detest, or who stands a chance of beating you in a race. Such pedals, with a pre-stretched chain, should slow them down for a while. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

You guys are wicked. You will assurredly be condemned to ride all eternity on such pedals, liberally rubbed with teflon.

harHARhar....
well done calf burger http://goo.gl/Ld5DKG as AM may know, I have 4 bear traps at $12per hararhar for sizing under a 15EEEEEEE foot. problems were from the standard rectangular cage...with fish scalers ..pedals were too small and were built with low mileage mediocre axle/bearing/nut/seal/lube you name it. Now these here low volume spiked MTB or BMX whatever pedals are well built is a desirous way BUT built for gnomes n dwarfs. I sent a really nice largest available set back to UC as waaaaay to small. Too small for Rhonda The Pygmy ! and so...4 sets. I groundout a lube tool ! I'll betcha I have the only bear trap lube tool in NA ! gargabe build. 2500 miles n pray. I should change to Red from FL these here gar....bear traps are covered with plywood painted bulldozer yellow. Very comfy, do not immediate destroy terminally used sneakers or my feet. I have a bag of sneakers marked BIKE BIKE finding new $100 Trail runners last 5 miles pedaling. Py pedals surface area does in facto add propulsion energy with empathy under the physio foot motion compared to the standard platform MTB or BMX whatever. I would have a photo but we have rain maybe later. Hold your breath. Informed Sources tell me the traps teeth are for MUD comma are used covered with MUD |

Such pedals, with a pre-stretched chain, should slow them down for a while. This use of shin destroying pedals seems to the confined to the wealthy and effete as the downtrodden masses are usually seen with at least one pedal that is nothing but the pedal axle firmly screwed into the crank arm. Perhaps a return to basics, the Ashtabula Crank and rubber tread pedals, would reduce the number of shin scars. See http://books.google.co.th/books?id=O...pedals&f=false or http://tinyurl.com/p8fdujc for maintenance instructions. -- Cheers, John B. |
