“and if the pins mushroom then go to a hardware store and get grade 8 hardware for the pedales before you use them and you wont to have to worry about mushrooming bolts”

Then Odyssey should rethink about the specs of the bolts.

Why would I need to buy extra bolts when Odyssey should use harder bolts in the first place? They don’t cost that much either so any “to keep the cost down” excuse should be considered stupid beforehand.

Also George’s excuse for not selling the halves separately and not putting the ‘R’ and ‘L’ is LAME. Get a better excuse, or better yet spend a few extra seconds in Solidworks to put them on.

i don’t right on these things normally. but tubes your a tool! steel is an iron/carbon based alloy. last time i checked no iron in any of the standard grade ALUMINIUM alloys, the clue is in the name!

if you listen to the odyssey review they say that if you use them to grind then take half of the pins out and use one side to grind and one to spot the grinds.. and if the pins mushroom then go to a hardware store and get grade 8 hardware for the pedales before you use them and you wont to have to worry about mushrooming bolts

After all, they will not be able to disassemble after sliding. So?

as far as that mcballs guy goes, a poor craftsmen always blames his tools sounds like you aren’t very good at using a “file” pick up a angle grinder and a sanding wheel an get with it.
these pedals rule! odyssey takes it home again

Oh forgot to mention,

Last but not least, engineering a new part around a ‘trick’ that is literally putting your foot down or a trick that was originally done accidentally is stupid.

These are overhyped, much like the plegs was.

“and last but not least… steel pedals??? i would like to see those…”

Get your head out of your ass and study some basic elementary level engineering.

‘Aluminum’ and ‘mag’ are steel alloys. Go read an engineering book and look under non-ferrous alloy STEEL, buddy, get it straight.

ok i feel also the need to saz something to the whiners!!!

Here is the thing – if you grind down the pins flat why buy the pedals in the first point. the idea is that if you want to do lots of pedal grinds leave one side of the pins off. no grinding needed…
second …
because of this very reason that you can leave the pins off is the main reason for the two colors!!!! side with no pins black and the side with pins white…
ie if you would want to run one side pins then while you are riding you can quickly find the side with grip…

and last but not least… steel pedals??? i would like to see those…

either aluminum or mag. but not steel buddy get it straight…

its fine that you dont like them but leave it at that
