Just don't get Fooker pedals (or any of the knock off brands)
Saint are most overrated pedals ever. New model was 100% better than previous ones......but a block of firm tofu would have been.Saint pins are 10 bucks, plus 13 bucks freight!

I think Adidas has improved them, tbh. More comfortable, and seeingly more robust, but early days.@Scotty T One Ups are a decent choice - I use them on both bikes now.
I haven't bought Five Tens since the Adidas takeover, so not sure of quality these days. My 2014 Freeriders are still structurally fine, just the inner sole has worn down so they aren't as comfy. I've got some Freerider Contacts from 2017 which are my main shoe still - even if the laces did rip through the eyelets at the top... If I know they are going to last 3+ years, I don't mind paying $200 for a pair.
You've removed the washers? Makes them ALMOST long enough to grip satisfactorily.Saint pins are 10 bucks, plus 13 bucks freight!

Nothing wrong with being hardcore and not blaming the pedals.
Local bolt store for the win. Don't be a Patsy to big bike

Big bike made them special. Big (cheap) bolt won't have these.
Our safety guy is not a fan but he's a fucking dweeb.
You mean these? I doubt there is anything special about those Shimano bolts. Sure I chose not to get the washers, but who wants those anyway? This not very expensive box should last me a life time.
Nope. I'd need to drill the pedals to fit the larger pins. I got two packs on Catch posted for one dollar more than a single pack from Pushys. Next set of pedals I will make sure they have inexpensive box of bolt style pins. I figure two packs of the Saints will go at least until I'm 50 at which point I expect to be less hardcore and start blaming the pedals.
Fair enough. Those nylon pedals that many of us use are only about $35-50...why wait?
I watched the video about the Race Face pedals. The previously mentioned good ones are around $80.
