atomlabs are indeed lovely.

I found that the cheapo v12 copies I had didn't last very long before
going wobbly.

With hard riding and lots of riding, cheap pedals last about 3-4 weeks
before not being so nice to ride and maybe 6 months before being nasty.
Whereas atomlabs ones just keep on working. I've also had success with
azonic a-frames, although only after I loctited the endcaps down which
due to the side load that John is talking about.

Expensive pedals also have much better grip which is great for winter
riding.

If you're wearing out a pair of pedals a year, then get expensive ones,
£50 for good pedals is only three pairs of cheaper ones. However if
you're riding on cheapo ones and they're lasting forever then you may be
fine with them, although you're missing out on the extra grip and better
platform that they have, which really makes a difference to your
riding.

Personally I reckon people are silly about pedals, surely along with the
seat, they're one of the most important parts of the unicycle, probably
more so than an expensive frame, it's worth getting good ones.
