i didnt pop out until a fee months ago. im sure they arent on their super duper races on year old pedals either that have been through a few crashes from being hit by cars that turn without turn signals either. (yes i have brakes too lol)
It could be my pedal form, but it didnt happen until recently as they are showing their age. being on the max spring tension for so long may have worn them prematurely, plus i commuted on the bike for maybe 6-8 months while i was in japan? so they are well used by now. hence wanting new pedals.
preferrably something that will last more than a year before i have to replace them since ill be in saudi for 5 or so
