Ares Eighty-Eights

Got a new set of pedals yesterday...



Ares Eighty-Eights, $10 plus shipping from AresBykesAmerica.com. Plastic components are all the rage these days, obviously because they're so light, and these things definitely are much lighter than the metal Wellgo's I was using.

I didn't get them because of the weight thing, however, but rather because they're rounded instead of being squared off on the edges. This allows my feet to twist and rotate on them better so there's less chance of getting stuck with my foot on the edge rather than on the flat part. They also look like they would work well with a single cross strap set-up.
