    Flatties

    My trusty set of Kona Jack-Shit flatties are pretty trashed, so I'm looking for a new set of pedals. I don't want to spend more than $120 if i can avoid it (the konas cost me $50 and lasted 4 yrs over 2 bikes and that's without any maintenance!) and i want plenty of grip (i.e. replaceable...
