Pros: Cheap, Good for light riding

Cons: Cheap paint, the pins will bend and break off. Do not hold up to heavy use.

Recommendation: I rode on a set of these for about a year. After a few months the permanent mounted pins began to bend. After a year, they were all bent or sheared off. The adjustable pins were still intact but it wasn't enough to provide good traction. Buy some 50/50s and don't look back.

Pros: Cheaper, light, resilient, easy to maintain.

Cons: non-sealed bearings and the paint chips off easily.

Recommendation: These are some of the best bang for your buck pedals out there. They've been around for a while now and are still a damn good choice considering cost, durability, and ease of maintenance.
