Pedal design devolving?
MilkyWilky:
I know this leaves the realm of BMX, but so far as I'm concerned FUNN is one of those OG brands that I used to associate with extreme mountain bike riding. While their seats and 48h 24" wheels have fallen out of favour, I'll never forget their Soljam viper pedals.
In an article on Bikerumor about their new platform prototype with 'float' they also showed a shot of their plastics with metal pins.

Lately I've been looking MTB stuffs, because slim BMX pedal with metal pins are hard to find.

This is pretty good deal.
I just got this for my barcode. It's wide, grippy, and light. The body feel solid.

All I want is a re-release of the original DX pedal.

woah hold the horses here.... isn't that the JCPC axle system a la G? i kinda thought that he patented it (would be silly not to) and here it is in a different pedal? either G's involved in this company's pedals or he's selling royalties on it... pretty sweet if that's true, it's like making a really decent car chassis that's application to many car types, so every manufacturer go with your chassis to allow them all the designing they want on a good platform...

No it's probably different enough to not be a patent violation I think, plus they aren't selling huge numbers so it isnt worth the effort.
