these pedals suck!

well a while ago i bought these pedals becaus everyone says they are
great but gues what by doing something as simple as a rolling hop over
a 34cm high obstacle the right pedal snapped! heres a pic of the dx
pedal or whatever they are called.

I've heard of chain suck, but not pedal suck.

But those photos do suck.


For a brand new pedal to snap like that, it probably had a defect
somewhere in the spindle. Or maybe you just need stronger pedals if you
plan on doing lots of drops. I've destroyed pedals over the years, but
mostly from impacts to the sides of the pedals. Never a broken pedal
from hopping or dropping.

if those are the kinds of pedals I had, I know they're weak, but I
didn't know they were -that- weak...I bent mine pretty bad on a five
foot drop. that's pretty crazy how you broke it though.

That's crazy. You could have gotten hurt really badly if you had been
doing somthing crazy like a big drop.
