Shimano PD-MX30 Flat Pedal
one of the best.
The Good
theres a reason why so many pros out there are still sticking with these... becos they are so comfortable and grippy. love the design too... makes it look so space age ( even though its a pedal from the 90s ).
also, if u know how to service, u can actually set how fast its gonna spin.
The Bad
comes fixed with microscopic pins and changing them into the longer ones which are supplied takes effort ( 40 pins in total ).
expensive for a pedals when theres cheaper alternatives out there.
Overall Review
the second gen of the pioneer platform pedals. amazing to see something still selling after a decade. what a classic!

Crankbrothers 5050 X Flat Pedal
The Good
It spins!!!
The Bad
Why on earth would you add extra joints to a part like a pedal body. It doesn't need them. Sure, you can customize the colors, but it also makes it heavier, thicker, and weaker. What a poor idea.
Overall Review
All the fancy packaging in the world can't make up for the fact that this is an inferior design. The spindle and bearings are the same as every other pedal on the market. The only feature setting it apart is the moronic 3 piece body. Do yourself a favor and buy 3 sets of generic pedals with that cash. They're all made in the same place.

Super stiff casing.
The Good
grippy, tough
The Bad
The casing is so hard I had to run 20 psi to make it feel right. At that pressure it spun on my rim. It runs well flat after the valve stem tears out.
Overall Review
There are better options. Intense should stick to frames.

Superco Charger Hardtail Frame
Just right.
The Good
Light, tight, super fun bike. Doc's been at it a long time. This is the culmination of everything he's learned and it shows. You would have a very hard time finding another frame with this kind of fit and finish. The guy refuses to do anything he doesn't absolutely believe in. Perfectionist almost to a fault.
The Bad
Disappointed that it's big brother isn't in production.
Overall Review
See above. It's all good news.

The Good
This post is a set and forget item. It will not move or let you down. Really fine angle adjustment.
The Bad
Kind of a bitch to swap saddles, but the amount of time spent is made up for by years of trouble free use.
Overall Review
Not enough stars to give a proper rating.

I never broke one.
The Good
Well sealed, good looking, great feel, don't rattle.

bearings are tough to rebuild if you aren't familiar with clipless pedals.

Can't go wrong with these.

Any bike I plan on keeping will get one of these.

Good bar...
The Good
this bar is way light. wide enough to keep everyone happy. anodizing is done very well and is very resistant to scratching. looks great with the 2010 graphics. great color options (im running the tooth blue). also its extremely stiff.
The Bad
bend is 4x8 not 4x9. half an inch rise is a little too low for me, i would have liked to see a couple options for height.
Overall Review
if you havent tried wide bars and a low front end, your way behind the curve. it is way better if you ride fast or want more control or stability.
