Are you talking about Forte Campus pedals? If you want them to settle at the same orientation every time, pry the seal off the axle, trim the lip a bit with scissors, then put the seal on backwards. Works with brand new pedals.
I prefer the Campus pedals to Shimano's 324 pedal. Campus lighter alloy cage, Shimano steel. Campus pedals grid off easier if you have a pedal strike, Shimano being steel will lift the rear end of bike and throw it sideways.
