Modification’s the name of the game
Not merely a polishing zealot or a master of obscurity, I have a thing for judicious modification. I’m not talking about taking files to frames or drilling components for weight saving, I’m talking about little tweaks here and there that improve a product without voiding the warrantee. Pictured is a very worthy dual sided SPD clone with the other cage removed- it’s saved a few grams, hasn’t negatively impacted upon comfort and moreover, its lower profile is now much better suited to road fixers/singlespeeds…Am I the only one?

These are indeed Revolution.
I did the very same to my odyssey triple traps back in the day, and it did make them look pretty fly. are they the wellgo ones? or the revolution ones? actually those two are probably the same pedal
I'm liking that a lot,
what was the original?
