Pedal design devolving?
JFax:
The serious pedal grinders I know use those Ody JCPC pedals with pins removed on one side to get that metal grip but smooth grind.

I used to make them, and immediately stopped using them once the JCPC's came out.

JCPC for life. I was using disposable pedals (one of the reasons was the idea that plastic pins are not so aggressive on shins). I still have a full big box of bent loose ball axles, cracked bodies etc. When I switched to JCPC I realised Im not hitting my shins at all with pedals, cause my feet are not slipping.
Had first pair of JCPC for around three years. The right one was setup for grinding. I grinded thru two frames, cracked dozens of cranksets but JCPC were fine. They got loose, then pin heads wore out / dissapeared. No maintanance. The small hole from grinding appeared on the side. They were slightly loose (but still pretty noiseless). I still had them on my second bike. The 17mm hex is almost round. What is AMAZING that I usually cracked +-10 bodies transparent Polycarbonate (but solid Nylon which are stronger - like Twisteds, Animals too). But JCPC is a solid brick, thick enought and INDESTRUCTABLE.
I tried BPE and they stuck in one day. No warranty. No spinning. Thick and ugly.
I just got another pair of JCPS. I even use them on my 650b Enduro bike. They are pretty big surface/flat bodies = good feeling. Slightly on the thicker side (mtbikes dont like the thick classic look).
getting rid of bushings/small bearings = BEST DESIGN EVER.

I like the look of the new éclat Stevie pedal its basically an eclat slash with metal pins on one side(perfect Imo)
