Cool MTB pedals...
Spotted these cool pedals on a group ride in Sedona. Met the guy who makes them locally here and we'll be hooking up with him in the next day or two to get all the details.
Interesting to see what creative people come up with...

Personally, I'm not crazy about the semi-proprietary design (needing crankarms that are bored out for the Flypaper inserts); but at least they are Gravity cranks, which I run anyway. The pedals themselves seem quite cool.

Those are compartively benign. These on the other hand, are quite intimidating. Trust me.

I'd buy 'em if they fit my crankset. I would bore out my freakin' steel inserts for some silly pedals, man. What if I decided to go back to clipless later?

For $35 bucks or so, these look nice:
Though they are a "loose ball bearing" design. And I hate that little plastic'y end-cap.

Azonic's "look" kinda cool, but may go beyond functional striving for the aesthetics:

Naw, I tend not to judge upon first impressions.
We all get Judged in the end.
But with that out of the way, let me correct myself, it is my buddies farm, we (friends) just help him out.

I'll give you that, D...they are cool. But I was trying to keep the budget down below the level of needing to finance
Syncro's $280
Straitline $120
Sunline $107
Twenty6 Rally $175-$420!!! ($265 in the PIMP'ness pictured)
The craziest I posted was the NS at $88, but I'd just as soon go with the $60 DMR's...who the crap can afford $280 flats?
