Ya, those would frack you up fo sho.

CruiserGuy · 2013-02-03 11:33pm

Those look nasty! Probably draw some serious blood if you were to actually slip. Very cool!

We did an old school ride in downtown Milwaukee this past summer. I thought for sure, I was going to gauge my leg on my Trickstar, with Beartraps. Another guy ended up tearing his leg up, with some plain platforms with pins. Go figure!

Pffft....

Homemade cages? They look scary and awesome at the same time.

coffin2death · 2013-02-04 2:08am

They do look awsome, and with regards to scarring ones legs - if A jobs worth doing, then do it properly.

My pedals are clip ins, AKA just two knives I stab my feet through each time I ride.

troynlori · 2013-02-04 9:44am

Sorry Flock....didn't mean to threadjack. I thought all you guys knew I've been making and selling replacement cages for XCII for a year and a half now.

Any pedal can do serious damage, and those DK's are no exception. Take one to the shin and you're going to be hurting. When I was a kid...maybe 10....I slipped a pedal to the front side on what were probably simple rat traps. My foot stomped the ground and the pedal jammed my Achilles' tendon. The bike stopped immediately locked up on my tendon. The next day, I was in agony, and couldn't keep my foot at 90 degrees to my leg...I had to drop it down..."limp ankled". Went to the doc, and he decided the right thing to do was put my foot in a cast perpendicular to my leg (normal position) to keep it from freezing in the wrong position. I shed a few tears that day.

Platforms with pegs, caged pedals, etc....they can all hurt. You can get your shins opened up by pegs too. Done so myself. Key is....keep your foot firmly planted on the pedal. There's a real trade off between traction and the ability for a pedals to jab you.

i went tatt'd the notorious hutch pro pedal to the back side of my calf , i remember as a kid how much they hurt and was like it would be a killer tatt . and no i didnt do any blood stuff just good ole black ink with shading . the tatt was my birthday present to myself

I have a 10" scare for a set of Trogs down my left shin. You could see the bone. ahhh good times.

flatland1974 · 2013-02-04 9:54am

I have the same set-up that I picked up from (Neil-son)...Thanks Brotha..
And YES they hurt!Sh-t..they bit me just moving my Titan around!

CruiserGuy · 2013-02-04 12:41pm

One strange thing I always noticed on my XC-II pedals was that I slipped a lot with the stock cages and it always hurt like hell and I think I chipped the bone a few times.

But when I switched to the Hutch Pro pedals I rarely slipped but when I did there was always blood. The funny thing was it didn’t seem to hurt as bad as the old stock XC-II cages did. It probably had something to do with the bunt teeth on the stock XC-II.

You should not have many slipping issues with those!

Yeah I got some scars! Haha!

God dang shark bites too ...man , they hurt ALOT

RACEIT · 2013-02-04 1:14pm

Way BITD we raced in the rain. I couldn't keep my feet on my Shimano DXs to save my life, or race.
The next weekend I had SR Speed Traps with TROG cages.
Sure during the weekday rides I'd bloody a shin here and there but racing wise I can't remember any more problems.
Love the aggressive caged pedals.

RoadRunner · 2013-02-04 1:26pm

I'm surprised they don't make you sign a disclaimer when you purchase those pedals....

DXs is what I had and some scars to prove it...especially when you freewheel backwards and get a running start....OUCH!.....Trogs aint no joke either.......I do need braceless bodies though
