    And you can move em to another bike. Mine haven’t really bothered me is why I haven’t pulled the trigger or anything. But like you said...20$ is a cheap upgrade lol

    Yeah I’m surprised mine haven’t slipped or anything. Honestly I’m still really proud of and impressed with my bike and components, but I’m sure that’s partially because I don’t have much to compare to. Now...those pedals...made a huge difference.

    My old ones started falling apart and your hands would turn black every time you touched them. Old bike problems.

    These were definitely a huge improvement over the old ones. They are pretty thin, which I like, so they won’t feel as padded as others.
