details pleasE??? how old were they? howd u brake em?

i first cracked them while doing a 18-stair, they just broke when i did about 2m (80 inches or somethin) drop. it was quite a narrow place to land, so i tried it 3 times. first time my foot blew off the pedal, second time i drove into a wall, third time would have been perfect, when suddenly there was a loud boom and i saw my pedal flying around busting sparks and sh*t. i luckily didn't get hurt or anything. oh and they were the v2's.

also recieved my royal v2's today so luckily i can ride again! stoked!

i kinda wanted them to break, because they were pretty old and bent, also new cranks were on the way. i wasn't expecting the break and i had never broke cranks before so it kinda scared me.

I tried crank arm slides on a pretty decent sized rail at the park on it.

Yesterday I took my frame apart and stripped the paint and put some stickers on it.

Your foot would blow off those pedals, they're the reason I gave griptape a shot & still shinned myself. Hate those pedals

Looks like installation error to me

put some s&m bar tabs in

installation error, yea right.

i think those pedals are really nice, they are magnesium, sealed bearings, light, and if you put on the long pins you cant slip pedals very easily, i haven't got a shinner in like 6 months, maybe you had the short pins? also, i got them for like 15$ so i'm happy. i slipped pedals because of the impact, im pretty sure that would have happened even i had twice the pins.

Had to take a file and pick thing to carve out a bunch of paint and wax from my pedal after finding a good street ledge to do un-lucky grinds on and doing a ton of them.

Also just gorilla glued my pivotal bolt hole rubber thing back onto my seat, hopefully it stays in place next ride.

Got a new (used) 26" frame and fork on Friday ... just waiting on a couple parts and I'll build it up.

got hooked up with folding white tanwall aitkens at the lbs, put them on on my bike and adjusted my brakes a little

Got this back from the paint shop on Christmas day, and just stickered it up tonight!

Holy shit. I wanted one of those so badly back in the day. Isn't there something funny about the seat tube?
