Is there anyone in CT that stocks Spank gear? Can't think of any shops I've been into lately.

Yeah. I could get cheaper pedals, but I had 3 criteria.

 

Must be hardy. Check. 

Must have pins that go ALL the way through. Check.

Affordable (ie not R 2,000 landed)

 

My current pedals, as awesome as they are, can only accept grub screws and as such they shed pins and deform when the pins are ripped out, cos they don't go all the way through. Flats with a bolt-type pin design are, IMO, far superior if only for that reason. Sadly that limits your selections

I've got the Saints on my FatBike, which I'm using as my recovery bike to build up leg strength after a broken hip. I've never ridden on flats before, and since fitting the Saints, all I can say is that they are freakin' amazing!! Worth every cent :)

Yeah. I was contemplating getting aftermarket pins, but I'll see what they're like before I buy 32 stainless steel hex head bolts...

I bought some for my pedals a while back, each Ss hex bolt was around R1, length was also spot-on.

 

Bolt through is the only way, grub screws in pedals the heads get smashed or they rust and the heads get stripped easily or they just get ripped out. Though that never happened on my Dmr v12's with grub screws and I used them for a few yrs, granted they are pretty chunky.

Have you seen how slammed that stem is? No way that he can turn away from the roadie side now.
