Back in the day, when one used to race, these pedals were the choice of many. These Suntour XC-IIs (photo courtesy of
Helix BMX) really gripped your shoes and were deadly strong, thanks to the chromoly axle it had and the rather strong, replaceable cages. There were more exotic and expensive alternatives available like the Hutch Bear-trap pedals. Quite a few people used to file these Suntour pedal cages to make them sharper so that they would grab the soles of their shoes better. Remember, these things came out even before clipless pedals came into our sport. I have seen a pair in a shop near my place. I might get them for memories sake and put them on my old BMX.
