Can you provide any more information about the pedals? How long you've been using them, how the bearings (or equivalent) are holding up (is there any play in the pedals?) etc..?

I'm not worried about the surface, I'm sure it could be replaced with skateboard grip tape, and there are a couple of skate shops near me.
