I bought a pair after buying into the concept of an ergonomic pedal. First
thing, oh my gosh are they ugly. They are hge and bulbous and look
hideous on my AHH and so I quickly removed them before anyone saw my
purchase blunder (got a good online deal). I intend to try them on my 20

The pedals don't have sealed bearing and it seems that not enough grease is
packed in when they ship. Nothing particularly bad occurs but in my first
set one of the pedals developed a clicking. I couldn't find it anywhere. I
thought it might be my saddle. I greased and lubed all sorts of things.
