Mine have been excellent, I don't twat them a lot, but certainly every ride. Bearings are good, they look good. They are very light. I have used the pins that screw in from the other side before, and they were dire, every time I smashed the pedal on something one of them would strip the thread out of the pedal body, making it impossible to replace the pins. With the stud pins, they screw right down the to bottom, so when they get smashed up, you can replace them by simple undoing them with a pair of pliers.
