Duration Product Used:

Purchased At:
bow cycle
Strengths:
good grip, nice finish
Weaknesses:
pins, bearing and warranty
Similar Products Used:
lots of other high end flat pedals
Bike Setup:
demo 9 and santa cruz bullet
Bottom Line:
I have two pairs of these pedals and they have great grip. they DO NOT HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY, though. The pins constantly fall out unless you locktite them in and the bearings crush very easily. I went to warranty one pair and they said that the bearings are not covered under warranty, yet to quote there website:
Does that statement not sound like the whole pedal is covered? Especially since they mention bearings and litetime warranty in the same statement.
Good Pedals, but if you don't mind paying extra for good warranties from companies, look around because the axiom lifetime warranty is just marketing hype.

Strengths:
Not to expensive, seem to be good quality, sealed bearing axles, large pedal body.
Weaknesses:
Pins fall out if not lock-tighted and regularly tightened, wears out shoe soles.
Good pedal. Not the best one out there, but pretty good. Just make sure to check the pins from time to time and get a harder-compound soled shoe. Would I recomend them? Yes. Will I buy another pair? Probably not, there are many good pedals for the same price. But the Road Gaps seem to work as they should, and the sealed bearing axle is perfect. Good value for what you get: replacable pins, life time warrenty, sealed axles, large pedal body, durable. But do your research before you decide on these. You can get great pedals without the draw backs (AKA: DMR V-12).

Strengths:
massive surface area tons of grip look cool sealed bearings LIFETIME WARANTEE
Weaknesses:
cost to much
Similar Products Used:
stock specialized DMR v 8s Crank bros 50/50 (suck)
Bike Setup:
2 wheels a handlebar, you know...
Bottom Line:
these pedals are sweet.. there is a massive amount of grip to them and you dont have to worry about breaking them in the first year of use because of the lifetime warantee!
the only bad thing i can see about them i have to keep buying shoes because of the gaping holes they leave(i might have to take some pins out)
if money is an issue id go with DMR v8 s or the v12s for a lil extra. but i take these pedals first any day
