'Shinburgers' (http://tinyurl.com/qut6o). All the grip you need, when
you need it. And they don't wear out (quickly). These are one year
old:

Is there something about the Aircorp that makes you want to try
something else?

Of the two pedals you list, I'd go for the Tioga pedals for muni. They
look grippy enough and at least 6 pins per side are replaceable. The
Tioga pedals are thinner which is nice for muni. Thinner pedals are
less likely to roll under your foot and give you better grip.

If you do very aggressive muni in rocky terrain or do things like pedal
grabs with your muni then the Snafu pedals would be better suited. The
Snafu pedals can better handle that kind of abuse without the pedal
body breaking.

I think they are the ones he broke just before he attempted the 7 set.

I was thinking about these 'Tiogas'
(http://www.cambriabike.com/Shopexd.asp?id=9902), $75 at my LBS, but
settled on a $60 pair of Kona 600 gram sealed pedals (the best for my
limited budget of what they had in stock)

That's right. Although since re-crimping the c-clip on the end of the
spindle, it hasn't come apart since, but it's still bothers me that it
could happen again at the least opportune moment! So those
drilliums have even more foot area and are also very thin, but the
spindle is stronger and there are 3 pecision bearings per pedal (1
needle & 2 cartridge) instead of bushings. Plus Vivalargo swears by 'em
and that's good enough for me!

I forgot about that for a bit and was beginning to think you just had
an extra pair lying around or barrowed one for yesterday's ride.

I think a more concave surface would be good and those drilliums look
pretty flat, but kool though

Wouldn't lighter pedals w/ pedal protectors last just as long and still
be lighter than some more heavy duty pedals w/o
I'm thinking about these next: 'wellgo mg1' (http://tinyurl.com/33vqer)
376 grams / pair

A few grams won't make any noticeable difference to me, esp. since I'm
already carrying several pounds of water on my back! But I like
pedals with LOTS of foot area width and are thin as well, like the
drilliums and the aircorps. When I went back to the snafus I felt way
more unstable and they felt bulky. But like anything else it's
individual preference.
