"Didn't Einstein say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again with the expectation of different results" I believe that might have been him. I did the same thing over and over with the belief that some input the results may be changed. Quite different than buying them and saying dang, those reviewers knew what they were writing. It's not some theoretical science......I figured that when someone that can type says that pedals are slippery they pedals will probably be slippery. But that they can easily be improved.
