Whats the worlds nastiest pedal, designed to destroy shins

[My_Teenage_Self]

My shins vote sharkbites.

True story; I sharpened mine for 'extra grip'. It gave them extra bite. To. The. Bone.

I was thinking Odyssey Shark-Bites, but theres been a few others that look like they are designed to trap and kill small animals

Anyone got any truly horrible example of pedals from bitd ? (I dont want to see your shin injuries)

Agree about the shark bites. Still have the scars on my left leg from them.

the rob warner basejump pedal, evil slicing pedals! used to sell these back in the day, as much as the others hit hard these used to slice and dig in!

My nomination is the old Odyssey Triple Trap pedals.

Worst pedals I’ve ever owned, no actual traction so slipped off them constantly with maximum shin pain on every ride!

Shark bites I think I had a pair on my bike when I bunny hopped the end bit of a slide foot came off the pedal and landed with it against the top part of my shin that wasn’t pretty.

Triple traps were the worst pedals ever just felt like a flat slab of metal with no grip terrible design.

Another vote here for Shark-Bites (from experience)... I still bear the scars approaching 30 years later.

This has triggered the memory of slipping off the pedal and hitting your knee cap on the underside of thumbies

The extra bonus with the triple traps was since they were so much wider than others pedals it was really easy to catch them on the ground pedaling through a corner and send you flying off the bike.
