Im looking into pedals and cranks. i want some good cranks for about 100-130 dollars. Im mostly street but ride some dirt jumps. For the pedals im looking for about 50 or less. I like the stolen cranks or the redline device cranks. As for pedals maybe the odyssey pc's they look good and light but will i have to replace them a lot? I may just go for jim c pedals...not sure so im asking you guys. Thanks!

for cranks, dont go redline. just dont. and stick to chromoly. im looking at the maderas right now... but that will only work for you if you have an american bb or a mid sized bb.

tell me one innovative product shadow has come out with thats hasn't sucked or broken all the time, and is better then anything odyssey has put out. Within reason too, seats and **** like that dont count.

Never heard of their stem breaking or sprocket.

like i said before, within reason. a broken stem is very uncommon, and shadows stem is just a heavy chunk of aluminum there is nothing special about it at all. as far as sprockets go, most of what is out now is very similar, they wear out, and unless you bend them they usually dont just break. shadows hubs, cranks, pedals, on the other hand are not so reliable. the pedals are not so bad, but in the short time they have been out i have seen multiple bearing blow outs, and i know people who have been running the same jim c's for years with no problems. Cant even count how many shadow hubs ive seen blow up, and kinetic is a good example, and i've heard a few horror stories about the cranks, and seen 2 pairs **** up, the first one being a cracked and bent left arm and the second being the spindle boss was machined spightly off and caused the cranks to wobble and eventually strip the splines. shandow sucks.

I never said shadow was great or anything to begin with, I begged to differ for the pedals. I've had them for a couple months and nothing has happened so far.

any pedal will hold up to riding down the street.

That's why Jim C's hold up for so long :roflmao2:
If you can't tell what sarcasm is you are a noob.

You can't tell what pedals are good just by "looking into them".
You would need to run each set for a few months at least, and ride hard on them aswell.
