that would be me :- i've had them for about 7 months now, and i cant really find any faults with them. they weigh slightly more than VP cage pedals (but are much lighter than any other flat pedal i think) the grip is very good with my globe shoes and my try-alls. ive never had to adjust them, or touch the bearings etc and they have always run super smooth. i use them for comps are street riding and they seem to cope very well with both, and they're not a problem on rocks. some people moan that they dont have enough surface area for your feet, but my globes are size 13 (Y) and i dont have any problems. hope this helps.
