monkey-man - I can assure you that these cost much more than $15 to make. As you can see they are cnc machined from one piece of aluminium. If I remember correctly it takes 12 hours to machine one pedal. So that is a day of machining to make the pair. Hence the price. From my experience I'd say these are a great set of pedals. They do have lots of pros and cons though, as most mtb equipment does. Much more grip than the V8/V12's, but sometimes too much. I find myself having to take my foot off to reposition it rather than just slide/wiggle it. But if it is on at a funny angle it isn't coming off easily, which means you can get through that rough section. The anodizing is very good and doesn't really scratch too easily. Some of the pins on mine came loose, but after a fresh dab of loctite they are all good. I've used them on my dh and xc bikes. i really like them on my xc hardtail as i can almost use them like an spd and pull up as i pedal, due to the grip. I much prefer them to my old V12's as they feel a lot sturdier when standing on them which inspires a bit more confidence.
