Platform pedals were developed back in the days when BMX racing was in its infancy. They had to be fast, tough, cool and cheap. Much of the style of flatties was lost with the advent of clip in pedals through mountain biking. However, the advent of 4 Cross, Street and Dirt Jump scenes has seen flat pedals come back to life and produced by NC-17 in memory of the good old times- just with the benefit of today's technologies. Cold forged aircraft aluminium. With sealed ball bearings. Replacement pins included.
