Pedal design devolving?

Fuck it, I think I'm going to run my spare set of Spank Spike pedals on my 20".

Thin pedals make a huge difference to the feel of a bike.

I have Shimano Saints on my mtb and Dx's on my Bmx, the Saints feel far nicer (being thinner) but develop play very easily. The Dx's have no play at all after six years of riding and not one service - but I wish they were thinner.

If you have managed to make a thinner pedal that doesn't wobble G, especially if it has the same pins that screw in from the back like trail mixes, then that is pretty much perfect. :)

Do it. i ride them on my bmx since 2 years and no problem so far. i just had to remove some pins because those pedals are too grippy with all the pins installed, i hate when my foot is glued to the pedal and i can't escape from the bike.
The only problem you will have is that all other bmx pedals will feel like SHIT when you try them.

Haha I actually removed a bunch of the pins last night and I'm getting new bearings pressed into them today so they will be ready to rock soon.

I'm also considering cutting down the pins 2mm as well, but we'll see if I need to once I ride them.
