29r is an important life-style decision... next will be single speeds and thongs.

Those are pretty tame (but good pedals).

THESE are shin-shredders (and calf-shredders and doorway shredders . . . .):

Simply removing the center pins front and rear will reduce shin damage by a surprising amount without significant loss in grip. Perhaps more applicable in street riding where shinguards are, let's say, less favored, but seems like there're more platforms on the trails these days.

This Killswitch came into my LBS recently. Pretty smooth looker.

Those nicely used pedals would give me instantaneous cred at the local trailhead/starbucks! $10 bucks shipped.

It's hard for me to keep track since I moved from rubber band shootin' range to 10 hrs away, but I still see him from time to time. I think he's riding more and shooting riding less.

Maybe we should PM bomb him and call him out.

Haha, you can do your own pedal treatments at home with a bag of ceramic ball bearings and a dryer!

I suspect that you are mocking me but your finely crafted prose has kept you protected.
