[Closed] Less stabby pins for DMR pedals? Easier on shoes and shins

Got a par of lovely DMR magnesium pedals, but the pins are a bit aggressive for my use (mostly commuting these days), and tend to chew up delicate shoes (e.g. soft foam trainers).

Are there less sharp still reasonably grippy replacement pins available? Or just get plastic bmx pedals?

M4 stainless grub screws off eBay in a variety of lengths, I got some cool anodised alloy pins from moovebikeCo a few years ago, they use a socket or spanner to install, think they're still in business and use PayPal.

Which pedal? On Vaults you can just flip the pins over

DMR V12s!

I went for Premium BMX slim pedals with sealed bearings for 30 euros, you can buy a new body for 15 euro if it wears down https://premiumbmx.com/collections/pedals/products/slim-plastic-pedal, about same low weight as the DMRs, trading a bit of grip and longevity for less shoe munching.
