. I think there must be a bmx style pedal with replaceable bearings. Sadly my lbs doesn't stock such a thing, just lots of clipless pedals and shoes. None of which are any use to me since Koreans have small feet anc getting a 290mm bike shoe is impossible.
I want to love the XT platform pedals, but my favorite pedals actually are some Mongoose BMX pedals that came on my Stumpjumper.
