Fashion/practicality dilemma
My KH trials pedals have recently bought the farm. They were limping for quite awhile before I gave up on them. My old Wellgo B-35 yellow pedals on my Coker are ahout 3 or four years old and a bit bashed up. I put those on the trials and the yellow doesn't match the black/orange KH motif that well but tey're beat up and they work. I see that as a good thing. I put my last pair of Wellgo B-27 chrome pedals on my Coker because they didn't fare well on the MUni. The pedals go nicely with the standard Coker frame, Airfoil rim chrome/black theme. They looked good on the red anodized MUni, too, but wouldn't stand up to the abuse I gave them. I had intended to put them on BlueShift which has a blue anodized frame. Instead, I have some blue Wellgo B-35 pedals on it, which look OK but the blues don't match. I recently bought three pairs of pedals from UDC. I have red (fire engine red painted) Wellgo B-35 pedals which *-CLASH-* with the SH red anodized MUni frame. I have some blue anodized Primo super tenderizers which would work on BlueShift but then I would have blue painted Wellgo B-35 pedals that don't go with anything in a -flashy- way. Finally, I have some Snafu black painted concave pedals but the platforms only carry four pins per side which seems weird to me. What would you do? What would Martha Stewart do? I'm looking for a *-GOOD-* thing. -- harper -Greg Harper B L U E S H I F T *jc is the only main man. there can be no other.* This is still my nth post....*AWESOME!!!* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/426 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44355 |

I'll give them a good home and lots of attention! More seriously, I'd just go with the Snafu pedals. You will get comfortable with only four pins per side eventually. Four pins simply dig further into your shoe then 8 pins, I'm not sure if there is actually much more grip with 8 pins. ~Cameron -- UNIquelyCanadian "If you're looking for truth, don't search within yourself --You're the one who's confused in the first place!" - Frank Peretti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UNIquelyCanadian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7524 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44355 |

Likewise, give me the red SH frame and I'll use it for my Fireball buildup. Red pedal problem solved. I'll let you keep the stock coker frame, then you'll have three sets of pedals you can rotate on to suit your mood. Any color scheme goes well with the stock coker frame, as you've already proven with your yellow pedals. -- tomblackwood Tailgate at your own risk... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomblackwood's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3762 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44355 |

I have loaded all my (your) unicycles into my truck as well as all of my spare pedals, seatposts, saddles, and tools. I've got $400 cash in my wallet. I'm on my way to Issaquah now. Should I stop at the ATM for more cash first? -- harper -Greg Harper B L U E S H I F T *jc is the only main man. there can be no other.* This is still my nth post....*AWESOME!!!* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/426 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44355 |

I would ask the same question of the Snafu's: how do they hold up to crank and pedal grabs? The Primo's are much better for pedal grabs, this is because the pins can not be striped out. The go into holes in the pedals and instead of threads it has spline like things. I pedal grab everything with my primos and dont worry about the pins. Do not use the snafus for pedal grabs. My brother uses them and one pedal only has 3 pins left (out of the 8 on each side) 6 of his pins have been striped out total. I use the snafus for Muni because they are gripper in wetness and i don't pedal grab with my muni. -- KcTheAcy ¤-Kaycee http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Kaycees-Unicycle-gallery http://www.maineunicyclist.2ya.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ KcTheAcy's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5003 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44355 |
