Plastic Pedals...

After seeing a wave of people building light bikes with Odyssey Twisted PC pedals I just have to wonder... why? I am all for taking it to the next level and I know they are cheap, but they are still heavier then some mag pedals. I stand by the Wellgo MG1's, low 13oz and WAY tougher than plastic. Some may not say it is a big deal, but breaking a pedal is NOT cool. Checking out Ian Schwartz's build on the ride site brought this up, aside from the pedals, sweet bike. Side note, if you are fucking up pedals like the JC's then the MG1's wont last long either, they also grip like a mother so you may have to pull a pin or two.
