From: Aalesund, Norway

Bikes: Trek Top Fuel 26" & Trek ion cx 28" (cyclocross)

Well they landed. Took 14 days from China to Norway. Opted to pay the $3 something shipping cost instead of the freebee horseback carriage ride to get them a few days faster. The seller did as i asked and marked the shipments value at $25 so i could escape any import fees (sssssh, don`t tell anyone) They came in a transparent squared off blister pack type of thing with the manufacturers waste band label (wellgopedals.cn) Fancy sticker saying "titanium axle" and some very fancy ID stickers to look the part, everything in chinese text. As i suspected, the pedals were very small in size (no i didn`t check upfront) and clocked in at 195 grams. They certainly looked very nice and the axle felt very tight to the touch, not much play. They do look very small on the bike, so they could be ideal for smaller (chinese?) feet or women who often have smaller feet than men. I would not consider these suitable for a fully grown man, better off buying something bigger with any weight penalties that would imply. Don`t laugh now but i am also considering getting some 15mm titanium pedal extenders. Mainly to help support the outside of the shoe that pushes. They`re only like $13 and supposedly weighing in at 24 grams. You know where to look
