You could have gotten hurt really badly if you had been doing somthing crazy like a big drop. * If you're doing big drops that have consequences and haven't noticed that your cheap pedals aren't strong enough then yeah, you could get hurt. If you're doing drops onto things like elevated structures where a broken pedal could lead to a bad fall then you probably ought to think about making sure you have good pedals designed for aggressive riding. Pedals designed for aggressive BMX riding are the kinds of pedals you should be looking for. Stronger pedals are generally more expensive but they don't need to be super expensive. Stronger pedals will have a spindle made from stronger steel. Stronger pedals will have a larger diameter spindle that doesn't taper off the diameter so quickly. Look at the spindle that broke. The diameter went down really quickly after the pedal wrench flats. Strong pedals aren't designed like that. -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Gallery: '' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs) ' Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) 'Click Me' (http://tinyurl.com/7lvbu) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42658 |

Calm down Butty, you obviously misunderstood the stat. Don't rise to fexnix's bait... Being totally honest, I side with Butty (reluctantly) here. I would have assumed a quoted value for sidehop would be the distance, not the height, so a 75cm sidehop is fairly straightforward. However! A sidehop that manages to gain 75cm in height is a different matter, and is definitely cause for some celebration. I'd be interested to know, was it seat in or out? I'd assume out since I can probably just about pedalgrab 80cm seat in, it must be seat out... Good work anyway Fexnix, i'd love to see a vid sometime. Back on topic, its unfortunate that cheap pedals break before expensive ones, but there you are. You get what you pay for, and I've never paid less than £30 (bout $50) for a pair of pedals. Both those pairs (only 2 needed) are still in great condition, and rock solid. Loose. -- Loosemoose - HA! Sod You Gilby, I HAVE DAMMIT!
