I love V.P. pedals until they start going bad, which is pretty quick in my
experience. Needing to rebuild a pedal regularly gets in the way of my
minimal maintenance schedule, so I decided to try these Fookers-

cheap/disposable. To my
Yeah, they are pricey. Much more than a little marine grease, which is what
I used to slather on the spindles of my VP Vice today. Turns out, when I
look at all the pedals out there, mine are hard to beat, considering they
are every day "just ride" pedals. About 100x100 square, not too heavy,
Man those are pricey but I love that they are about the same weight as
composite pedals, they look great and are made in America. I am going to
give those a shot sometime soon.

Does the Pedaling Innovations rebuild kit work for VP Vice pedals? It looks
like the axle and bearings are the same.
Anyone know?
Also a nice choice for a high-end pedal are these bad boys, made in the USA:

Black Ops Torqlite UL platform pedals, now almost impossible to find. And

I have the Spank Oozy pedals on my Chameleon and like them a lot, metal,
low profile, and availabe bushings that are easy to replace. Too bad you
don't like composites, I also have Race Face Chesters on a couple bikes and
find them to be just as good and much less expensive.

I like the Blue Lug MKS XC-III pedals. Not too big and they hold my 8.5
shoes well. They look like the bear trap pedals that I had on my Redline
BMX bike back in the early 80's. I got mine from Hope Cyclery. They have
them in six colors.

Thanks for all the good suggestions, everyone. I'm Narrowing down the
parameters, I think. So far, what I think I want:
1. Metal pedal body, not composite.
2. Rebuildable pedal (can rebuild parts be had?).
3. At least as long as the Vice (106mm, I think).
4. At least 100mm wide.
Does anyone
Yes, I did grease theses once already. Grease is inexpensive, so of
course, I could regrease them. As for the Catalyst, I don't want to go
there for a few reasons:
1. I already experience toe overlap (fenders on my 700c Sam) at times, and
the length of the pedal is way longer than the Vice.
I started with VP Vise when I moved to flat pedals 7 years ago. A few
years ago I've moved to Catalyst pedals (like Jay above). They are made
for Cycling Innovations by VP, but CI sells rebuild kits should the need
arise. I'm not a high milage rider, but so far no issues with the pedals.

Someone on iBob recommended DMR Vaults for people with larger feet. I put a
set of them on my new Homer and I love them.

I’ve not yet read all of the responses, so apologies if I am repeating. I have
converted to flats exclusively and have not been attached to any bike for 5 or
6 years. Part of this was my interest in the catalyst pedal. I’ve still not
tried the catalyst, but I have adopted the mid foot position
I have several pairs of the VP "Thin Gripsters" in colors, many pairs of
the MKS RMS "Sneaker" pedals (best bang for the buck in silver pedals and
they have reflectors), tried and sold the Catalyst pedals a few years back,
several pairs of Deity TMACs in colors, one pair of MKS Lambda "Grip
Crank Stamp 1 pedals are my absolute favorite after trying a bunch of
different flat pedals. They are light, come in two sizes, are super grippy
and have tons of great colors. Totally serviceable and affordable too. If
you must have metal or a fancier version there are more expensive options
Do you add grease to your Vice pedals John ? I always add grease to any
pedal, open them up, slather some grease on the axle and slide the body
back on the excess oozes out the axle side. I have 2 pairs of Vice and
they've been flawless. Before these I did this with Wellgo MG-1's.
I wear
The Vice's are my favorite flat pedals so you've already identified the
Superior Option. My impressions on other flat pedals I have now:
- MKS Lambda - put these on my "street" bikes for the reflectors, the
bling, and to avoid the pedals rashes but as others have mentioned they
