What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

Your foot would blow off those pedals, they're the reason I gave griptape a shot & still shinned myself. Hate those pedals

i first cracked them while doing a 18-stair, they just broke when i did about 2m (80 inches or somethin) drop. it was quite a narrow place to land, so i tried it 3 times. first time my foot blew off the pedal, second time i drove into a wall, third time would have been perfect, when suddenly there was a loud boom and i saw my pedal flying around busting sparks and sh*t. i luckily didn't get hurt or anything. oh and they were the v2's.
also recieved my royal v2's today so luckily i can ride again! stoked!

Looks like installation error to me
barcodebilly:
put some s&m bar tabs in
macandcheese:
installation error, yea right.
i think those pedals are really nice, they are magnesium, sealed bearings, light, and if you put on the long pins you cant slip pedals very easily, i haven't got a shinner in like 6 months, maybe you had the short pins? also, i got them for like 15$ so i'm happy. i slipped pedals because of the impact, im pretty sure that would have happened even i had twice the pins.

Had to take a file and pick thing to carve out a bunch of paint and wax from my pedal after finding a good street ledge to do un-lucky grinds on and doing a ton of them.
Also just gorilla glued my pivotal bolt hole rubber thing back onto my seat, hopefully it stays in place next ride.
