Now some of you may have seen this pedal around, especially tucked within the DirtWorks Australia catalogue. I too have known about it for some time now, but only last week has the bearing design came to my attention.

Each pedal is equipped with 4 bearings!!! The axle support system comes with 12mm needle bearings, 2 cartridge bearings and a 20mm DU bearing for increased axle stability! This is a godsend considering most high end pedals only come with one cartridge bearing and a lame DU bushing to pick up the slack.

If and when you mash the pins on this puppies, you can easily replace them using a 6mm wrench (like you use on you brake caliper). The 2 pins in the centre of the pedal also act as grease ports, so that you can pump them full of grease for a stiff pedal that won’t rotate during your mad one hand, on leg, 2 toe, 4 finger superman x-ups!

All this lavish pedal making does come at a RRP of between $250-300, but we think it is worth it for the quality you get, plus you get a lifetime warranty. If you manage to bend the axle, no questions asked, instant replacement! Rest assured i will be getting my hands on some of these pedals to test ASAP, most likely will be in a few months when i build up the new jump bike………………the gimp…………yes the review wen’t well, stay tuned it is coming very soon!

The CroMoly version comes with cast in pins built specifically for grinding, how ever i would prefer to grind the stainless steel pins them replace them!
