The Grandstands are enormous, as in I actually thought they were too big. I put them on my mountain bike and went to Eclat pedals for the bmx.

I had JCPCs for a while (until I realised they were putting holes in the soles of all my shoes, even with half of the non-essential pins removed) and they seemed pretty big. Bigger than my sealed JCs IIRC, and definitely a lot bigger than the Colony plastics I have on now

blueee:
sounds like you should file the pins down.
stock pins grip so much your shoes will stick while trying to eject. mine are about as grippy as a new pair of plastics

ediotism:
you can either ghetto file down the bolts (i.e. pedal pins), or just get shorter ones

iirc, the stock JCPCs come with 21mm long and 18mm long bolts installed. i just took one of them to a hardware stall to get matching ones at 15mm long, so i could install the 18mm ones in the 21mm slots, and the new 15mm ones in the 18mm. they're still a bit too grippy to my liking since i also ride a lot of flatland, but they should be good for street riding/ big jumps

weedbix:
I took them off a couple years ago while I decided what to do with them. I was going to give them to kkmk but he never collected and I have lost them in a move :| I had considered trying the next increment down in bolt length, particularly for the ones  next to the spindle (essential pins) and wanted to explore the possibility of actually using plastic in some way for the outer pins
