Look Great, Feel Great, Won't Shatter

I had taken my previous set of pedals on a pretty rough ride and after a couple of bumps, they cracked and shattered in places. It seems they were made of cast metal and could not withstand much of an impact. This caused a bit of an unnecessary hazard on my long ride out. These pedals are solid and machined so I do not have to worry about them splintering under my feet. For those who like to count grams (I don't), they are 410g for the pair. There is plenty of platform and the studs grip great. There is a wide choice of colors that really pop and the red looks great with my old Raleigh M60 Hardtail paint job. One thing to note is that there is not a lot of clearance for a wrench so a fat crescent will probably not do you any good for tightening it. If I break these I will circle back and update but they feel like good pedals for the money.
