Fyxation Gates BMX Platform Pedal

Great pedals. I currently use these on my fixed gear, and I think they're perfect. Color is great, obviously, the white pedals are going to show dirt easier than other colors, but I'm amazed at how nice they still look after a ton of use. These are nice wide platforms, great for any sort of technical riding. I ride standing for the most part, similar to a BMX; and these give a nice, stable base. I wanted straps for my fixed gear, and these fit most standard straps. The pedals have a good weight to them. Very durable feeling, and so far, they haven't broken in any way. (probably have about 200 miles of street riding with these so far) I've broken cheap plastic pedals before, and I doubt that's going to be a problem with this set.

The pedals feel sturdy and substantial, without feeling too heavy. These are quite a bit larger than the generic pedals commonly seen on cheap bicycles. This makes for a comfortable pedaling even with soft soled shoes. The surface has small knobs to provide grip without being excessively rough. The threads easily turned onto the cranks with a little grease. The bearings seem to be of good quality and the pedals rotate easily. The holes in the side of the pedal are generously sized and make it very easy to install a foot strap. The logos are subtle and the overall appearance is clean and attractive.

These are primarily made for BMX style bikes, but they work well for my wife's MTB as well. Unless you turn hard with the pedal in the fully downward position, you won't have any ground clearance/contact issues, so they are good to go. I also like the fact that they are molded plastic (uniform in color) so if they get scuffed or scratch, the color doesn't wear off or show through (since they are solid)--they get a good rating from me. Priced well and easy to install in a few minutes (anyone can do it).

I like the pedals overall, and it was pretty simple to install (make sure you have the left and right correct, and add just a bit of grease on the threads before tightening). However, I'm disappointed with how it came. The inner packaging came ripped already with the pedals rolling around loose in the amazon packaging, and one of the pedals had some dents. Honestly, this does not really matter overall since I'm sure I did more damage to the pedals after a few rides than how it came, but it's just disappointing to open something new and see this.

I bought these pedals to replace the cheap stock pedals that came on my 6KU Track bike. So far, they have been working great, rotating smoothly with no bearing noise, and they are wide enough to accommodate pretty much any shoe. Things I like: - The width. These easily fit my standard Vans, and they should be wide enough for even the fattest skater shoe if anyone still wears those. This also means that they create an extra large gate with my pedal straps, making it a bit easier to slide my shoe in. - The grip. The little nubs on these pedals provide a surprisingly solid grip. In fact, I sometimes find myself wishing my shoe slid a little more on these things so it would be easier to adjust my position. If you have been having problems with your shoes sliding too much on your pedals, these should help. - The seals. I like how tightly the bearing areas are sealed off from the outside. There is only a minimal gap around the threaded peg to allow rotation, and the end caps are tight and flush with the outer pedal surface. My old pedals' end caps fell out easily, allowing dirt inside the bearing area. These pedals seem to be designed to take abuse with minimal maintenance. What I don't like: - The width. Yup. This is both a like and dislike. It is great for ease of use, but I have noticed a slightly greater tendency to pedal strike with these. I tend to take sharp turns at a relatively high speed, and although I don't think the width increase from my old pedals to these is extremely noticeable most of the time, it is noticeable when I bang my pedal on the pavement taking a turn that would have been no problem with my old pedals. I am getting used to it, but be aware that these are wide enough to make a difference around curves, especially if you are riding a fixed gear.

These are great for everyday riding, not sure would use these racing competitively… the cleats on them are molded so if the break or wear they are not recoverable unless you drill holes and install small hex screws yourself… they seem durable for regular use, trail riding, perhaps freestyle use. Good quality in my opinion, lightweight, seem durable enough- like the color- mine are blue and accent nicely.

These fit on my bike very well. They’re very heavy duty. I’ve had no problems with them over the course of four years.

Update: 1/17/19 I decided to rebuild these pedals and found that the pedals had different amounts of ball bearings in different races. The lowest was 11 and the highest was 13. I thought these were a pretty good pedal for the money and if I hadn't taken them apart I wouldn't have known. But now I know there is a quality control issue and will look elsewhere for cheap pedals. Took a star off for this reason. ============================================ I like the Odyssey Twisted PC pedals a bit better. But these are doing the job (using them on a unicycle) The nubs could provide a bit more traction but I didn't want a lot of traction so these are fine. If traction is important to you get the twisted PC.

it feels very sturdy and strong. it could probably take alot of abuse. the bearings are not very smooth when i spin it using my hands, but it is expected at this price point as they are probably not sealed bearings. however, on the bike, with the pedals i cant feel the crunchiness of the bearings so its fine.

I love everything about these, they’re super lightweight but still durable enough for street riding. They’re very brightly coloured and great at gripping onto your shoes. I’d 100% order these again if I needed a replacement for any reason.

Buen material, resistente a un precio accesible

My daughter loves her pink pedals

Nice pedals, would have been better if they came in purple.
