I'll start by saying that I used these pedals for three years, and only ended up replacing them to colour-code my bike. During those three years, they were a reliable and worry-free product. I didn't really use the grease port feature, because being a dirt jumper I actually wanted to minimize pedal spin. Though the pedals are certainly heavy, (523 grams I believe) they easily stood up to three seasons of abuse, which says a lot for a 40$ pedal. The paint wore off somewhat quickly and the end caps fell off, but this had no effect on performance whatsoever. After three seasons, a total of 7 pins fell off, but with 5.10 shoes they were still adequately grippy. I was also impressed with the bearings, yes there was some play but not a distracting amount.
Overall, a good value pedal that is quite strong and certainly cheap. A good candidate for a budget dirt jump or downhill bike.
These come with a grease injector that you are supposed to inject the grease into your pedal. However this grease isn't enough and without taking the pedal apart not enough grease will get on the bearings and who wants to start playing around with a cup, cone and loose bearings on a new product? They'll start grinding very young. Add to that the fact the pedals are thick as a brick and too narrow. You'd be better off spending your money on a sealed bearing Wellgo pedal, which are probably made in the same factory anyhow.
