get some LAW moto pedals

I have seen these for just £25 in the back of recent bike mags?

my buddy Hot Carl has these on his Demo7 and they are not actually very grippy, despite how fearsome they look...

f*cking heavy too

Jungle import Syncros if you wanna go for the Mental Alloys...just don't use the long pins as you will have hamburger for shins  Cheesy

i said 70 quid off the price,30 quid on winstanleys.... Roll Eyes

On this topic, my Funns are the best pedals I've ever used. However they are always ripping pins out on rocks and the threads have got knackered now so the new ones I put in do not stay there very well.

So: I've taken them into the lab workshop, going to drill through them, tap the thread and then use bolts like on an atomlab that come up from underneath, will post back here how I get on!

avoid these like the plague in my opinion. Ran them for a few weeks, had an incident with one of the pedals clipping a rock at cwmcarn (probably due to the fact they are rediculously large)

The outer cage just mashed in on itself, plus the fact the grip isnt even that impressive.. the bearings were smooth though Smiley

What are peoples views on Gusset Slim Jims?

Note - My pedals must be capable of handling a battering.

And what's the difference between the DMR v8's, and v12's?
Can all the pins be replaced in the v8's, and is the pedal as strong as the v12?

My friends got them and there pretty s**t. Not much grip, the platform's pretty small and the anodising wears of real quick.

I've had Funn Soljams and they were alot grippier with a larger platform. I'm now running straitlines and love them. Worth every penny.

I'd stay away from Slim Jims if I were you, I have a pair and after a couple of months of not too heavy use the axles came loose and the bearings feel as though they a crumbling away. I found the grip with the standard pins was pretty bad, but that did improve with some longer pins. The threads also seem to be made of cheese as I keep ripping pins out. Finally, as Hopeless says, mine went from the standard black to silver with black patches in a few weeks.

I'd say the opposite... mine have been awesome now i got some long pins for it. I've had it for about 3 months and as of yet there's no play. The ano does come off fast though, but i don't really mind for the price...  Smiley

The replies in relation to the SlimJims are a great help.

Its quite a hard one, i find v8's / v12's platforms are too small.
The Truvativ Holzfellers that i have were ok, just nothing can be replaced, and the threads for the pins strip very easily.
I dont really want to spend more than £35.
Hmmm  Undecided

CRC had Sealed bearing Soljams for 35 but I don't know if they still do. I found them a lot better than Slimjims.

Sealed is out of stock, and really expensive everywhere else...
Is the ball bearing pair worth it?
