flipkickbs Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 So, question is, what are the grippiest pedals to buy????????Its a good plan in theory, but the grippiest pedals i would imagine have the largest, sharpest pins. Pedals like that would be more unlikley to slip, but when they do: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorfiets1234 Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 i didnt do it riding trials, but i "shaved" my entire chin off when i fell with my courier bike, i shaved my whole chin all the way to the bone. what made it worst was that i also scraped both my shoulders and hands on the pavement. i didnt know at first that i hit my chin beacuse my shoulders hurt more. so i got up and rode 10-15 feet and noticed that i was dripping on my handlebars. (for those faint of heart: stop reading now) anyways so i stopped and touched my chin with my already roadburned hand and felt nothin but bone, yeah it hurt!, so after noticing to myself that 1)i and shaved my chin of all skin and 2)that both my hands and my shoulders were severly road burned. all of this happened 2 mi away from my house with no other houses in sight. but i maneged to get back home bruised and beaten to take a shower and get cleaned up, only to realize nobody was at home! so i waited around for about and hour until my sister got there which when she drove me to town to the hospital...so yeah theres my story, i still have a wierd scar on my chin from the wreck, o one more thing 2 weeks ago i got hit couriering by a lady who ran a stop sign...that hurt aswell!

poopipe Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 So, question is, what are the grippiest pedals to buy????????v8's or similar but instead of using the shabby little pins you get with the pedals go down the hardware shop and buy 3/4 inch grub screws and put them in instead.. mmm bitey. i nailed myself to a pallet with them on sunday..

deanie-b Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I call plastic pedals, with short nails put through them )Might really hurt, But hey, we should make the most of gravity pulling us to the pedals.In theory If i put on weight, I'd have more grip on the pedals, how weirds that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
