Good to know. I'm tempted to get some but first I'm gonna try putting some pedal spikes in my Grip Kings. Didn't Grant say a while back that there was gonna be GKs with better bearings and spikes? Maybe I'm wrong. I actually like that the GKs have reflectors so I wanna stick with them. I can't believe I just said that. When I first got them I wasn't a fan of the reflectors.
