Purchased these after becoming frustrated having to rebuild my oneup aluminum pedals too frequently to avoid squeaking on the trail. The waveform pedals seem to be of good build quality and certainly look nice but won't be for everybody. After riding them for about a month, I have not adjusted completely to the narrower "q factor" of the pedal. They still feel narrow on the bike. Maybe I am just accustomed to a slightly wider stance on my flat pedals and I will adjust over time. Despite the concavity of the platform and the plentiful pins, I do not feel that the waveforms are as grippy as the oneup aluminum pedals. I have also noticed an increase in pedal strikes. Apparently those few extra millimeters in thickness make a difference on my home trails. This is completely subjective, of course, just one rider's experience. In short, the waveforms have a high quality build and are a solid choice, but narrower stance may be a turn off for some.
