... and this is why you don't take pronunciation advice from unilingual Americans.

Zombie thread time.
Is it possible for a chainring to go out of round? Positioning the crank at 12 o'clock then 6 o'clock, I get about 1/2" difference in play, and I swear it wasn't there when I got the bike six months ago.
It's All-City's basic chainring, 612 Track.

Question: How durable are Nylon pedals compared to metal? In particular the Odyssey Twisted PC pedals? I'm wanting to get some BMX platforms and these were suggested to me. Normally I don't put much faith in anything but metal, especially when I'm putting my weight on it. I don't want to end up with some cheap Mongoose quality crap pedals.
Unless someone knows of a brand that sells orange metal BMX pedals. That would be cool. I'm having a hard time finding any.

I'm pretty sure these are overpriced for what they are, but they're orange. And I also happen to like the look of them.

I have plastic BMX platforms on my road bike for comfy commuting. Used to use them on a fixed bike until I had a few nasty pedal strikes. They're a little scuffed but still in one sturdy piece.
