Seriously, try the Odyssey Grandstand plastics. They are $45 posted from Luxbmx, tough enough to withstand Tom Dugan (check out YT, you will shit your pants) and grip like shit to my size 14 5.10 Freeriders.
They seem to work fine, and they definitely agree with your shins a lot more.
I guess it can't hurt to try! Shame they don't have the Billiard colour, that pretty much matches my frame!
Hard disagree. Shitty plastic pins CAUSE slips and shin issues. I run THE longest and sharpest pins possible....and never slip...and I promise you it’s not due to any special skill.
If they are good enough for Tom Dugan (who rides like how you want to ride in your dreams), they're probably good enough for you.
I watched 10 seconds...and I DO ride like him. Ok, fall like him...ok, I fall over, but unrelated. Might have stuck that first trick with decent pedals.
It's all about the pants isn't it... you secretly want those pants.
He's also got plastic signature pedals. Cue little mexican girl.
These look nice! There's a long term review on the site too btw - https://hucktoflat.com.au/odin-review/

These punch well above their weight for a cheap pedal. I paid $30, but free post.
Mmm they don't seem that much wider than what I have now.
They look almost identical to the OneUp composites, just at a third of the price.You can really go down a rabbit hole of pedals! I've now found the Chromag Synth which is the same size and internals as the Scarab but plastic. Can't find them anywhere bar Wiggle/CRC though ($199 minimum grrrr)
Mmm they don't seem that much wider than what I have now.
