Mountain Biking - More pedal action

Would like to get a new set of flat pedals for my MTB. Do mostly XC riding(do not like clipless) and a little freeride type action. But the set I am using I actually found a couple years ago and they are basically one notch above plastic platforms. I would like something that is a good size, NO spikes, not that BMX stuff, but I don't mind the typical pins. Nothing that weights 10 lbs either. Just something simple and cheap that won't break under normal XC riding. My old Trek 4500 has a simple set of flats on it and they worked great. Nice and big and my feet never slipped off them riding with my usual new balances. Something like that.

I use THAT bmx stuff.
Spikes\cages are mountain\mud, pins are bmx.

I use MOSH halfstep, w\ unsealed bearings so I can maintain them easily.
Cheap, take abuse well.

But you can't...

I seriously need to put this link in my sig or something (but displace my song quotes? waah...)

Get the 9/16 version. Great pedals, not too heavy, nice size, replaceable/removable pins. You can probably do pedal grinds if you're so inclined, take out half the pins so the bottom is more slippery.

Most importantly.. the price.

Are these things quality?

I use Odyssey Southgates (http://www.speedgoat.com/product.asp?part=42089&cat=240&brand=176) on my trail bike and I've never been happier. No fuss no muss. Pins that grip, bearings that run smooth, it's a good thing.

I also have a pair of DK Iron Crosses laying around those served me well until I went to clipless on that bike. Those were some soild pedals.

edit: reposted from the LAST pedal thread which was in turn reposted from a previous one It's called a search function people.

Actually, scrolling down works atm.

Bmx cages are strong - like using pedals for grinding etc, many DH bikers use bmx platforms...they are cheap, pedals DIE.
Only thing worse than a 45$ broken pedal is a 145$ one. I'm on a second set of bearings, 1.5 years use.
I got removable pins, 2 have been punched out, I use a small bolt to replace.

Get some with supa nice sealed bearings for XC. DMR also makes some nice ones.

Pricepoint has a combo deal that has pedals and shoes. The shoes I am using are literally the most trashed pair I have ever owned. Good use out of them though. BUt what do you think of these pedals? They have sealed bearings, at least.

What pedals? Copy the link and paste pls.

Got it. Nice deals.

my bad

I got my girlfriend a set of those pedals. They're ok

Ya, I'd try em. Looks a deal.

probably will. pedals are a bit lighter than most, they still got 10 pins and all, and they come with shoes. seems good to me. my trek pedals were good and i cant imagine these are any worse.

Some bearings suck, sealed or not. Being a pedal specific company I'm confident they are competent.

I've 'spun' a few types and there is a great difference in the revolution smoothness.

I'm not so hot on sealed bearings because I maintain them, change the balls, ride 'em until the races erode.
