Sometimes if you're patient enough and wait long enough good things come your way. This is the case (in my case, anyway) with Riv's new platform pedal offering from VIP. When I spied these on their web catalog I ordered a pair right away and have not been disappointed with them in any way - they are exactly what Riv (Grant?) describes them to be. I replaced the cheap, clunky old MoSH BMX pedals on my Rambouillet and went for a test spin. They do, indeed, have a much lower profile and the pedaling is much, much smoother presumably due to higher quality axles and bearings. I also noticed that the exposed threads on the pins that are screwed into these pedals tend to grip much better than the smooth-ended pins in my old ones. But then there was one more surprise: all of the creaking and other racket I couldn't exactly identify in my drive train has disappeared! Riv also offers these pedals at around the same price as any of the other Web retailers so no need to look anyplace else.
