| 1982 | Shimano DX pedals. Bicross magazine juillet 1982: Les vélos des teams officiels Motobécane et Peugeot en sont équipés; c'est une référence, non ! Tout dural, avec axe acier au chrome moly et super roulements. La forme est trapézoïdale avec de petits tétons qui tiennent la semelle mais ne blessent pas. Bien entendu, le dural est anodisé en différents coloris. Le prix est à la mesure des prétentions: de 200 à 230 F la paire ! |

| 2008 | Brian Tunney, espn.go.com, august 2010: The very idea of what a BMX pedal should be saw a drastic sea change. One moment, everyone rocked alloy pedals, and then, almost overnight, alloy pedals were replaced by "plastic" (or polycarbonate) pedals. This isn't to say that alloy pedals went the way of the dodo -- they still have a loyal following among a broad group of riders -- but plastic pedals became all the rage in a way the BMX industry hadn't seen before. This was due to several factors. Plastic pedals were lighter than their alloy counterparts, much cheaper, and a little more forgiving on the shins. | |
