£70 to £100 for decent set 17mm flat pedals, is the machining really that expensive?

Do they represent good value for money? I've been looking at straitline, NS bikes offerings.

Have a look at one of the bmx sites - loadsa colours and BMX stuff is getting much lighter now - just make sure you order 9/16" axle size (which most decent quality flat pedals are anyway) and you'll be fine.

I use [url= http://www.customriders.com/prodshow.asp?prodid=10302&cat=31&parent=1001&sid=3 ]these[/url] - grippy and light - job done.

Yeah I appreicate wellgos last ages I've hasd DMRs do the same, i'm looking for a bit bigger platform.

Also the new bread of thin profile interests me as it appears to really make sense. I have been looking at a few BMX numbers on the alans bmx site.

thanks for the help 🙂

Wellgo B54 if you can find them. Wellgo do quite a few large platform pedals.
