Thick 'Reflector' Pedal Reinforcers
This is a cheap Taiwanese DX-copy pedal. It has a good shape and it has replaceable steel pins. I have found these for as low as 10 bucks a pair. The problem with these is that the aluminum platforms break when impacted on grinds. I fixed this with a small block of aluminum. These little blocks fill the gap and prevents this crushing. They bolt on to the same tabs put there for reflector mounting. Hence the name, "Reflectors". Once they are bolted in they are almost as strong as a solid design and still cheap. I just can't justify buying $100+ pedals when I know they will need replacing in the same or less amount of time as this cheapo setup.
