Advantages: Great Sound, Extremely Durable, Lasts a lifetime Disadvantages: None
If like me you like a bit of distortion then I couldn't recommend this Boss pedal to you enough!
it hosts a whole range of distortion levels from light to extremely heavy and let's you customize the EQ levels to fine tune the sound you want.
When you buy a Boss pedal you know you're spending your money wisely, because not only are they built out of metal to last a lifetime but the audio quality is exceptional and will never let you down!
I do recommend buying an Ac adaptor for this pedal, however a 9v battery will last you a very long time as long as you don't leave the jack cable plugged into it (as this causes the battery to drain).
CONCLUSION
If you play any form of rock be it punk, metal, grunge or rock n' roll I guarantee you'll get a great sound out of this pedal to fit your exact distortion needs! I can't recommend ...
Advantages: Perfect for sporting or casual use. Disadvantages: None
My guess is that 75% of the world's cyclists have never really paid much attention to their pedals.
So long as they spin round, push the crankset in the right direction, and give you somewhere to rest your feet, they are of little interest.
Remember your first bike? Maybe you do, but you could probably not tell me what the pedals were made of, what weight they were, how much they cost, what cleat system they used, or how easy they were to service.!!
However, as bikes have become more complicated, and folk have more money to spend on personalizing them, the pedals have attracted more attention.
Here is a good example - the Shimano A530 SPD's.

Shimano are one of life's fascinating mixtures. I had been aware of the firm's fishing products for quite a long time. They have pioneered new ...
Advantages: Looks not at all bad. Disadvantages: Expense, need to be fitted correctly.
Momo Pedal kit.
I have used these, and find them as good as some manufacturers original equipment i.e. the pedals the makers fitted. These actually fit over the originals, so are in exactly the same place, just slightly higher. This of course means you have to lift your foot that little extra, which I find ever so slightly less efficient than the ones the factory fitted.
The kit is advertised as the Porsche style, and for competition use, although I doubt they have ever been used in comptitive racing, and are only in the "style" of Porsche ones.
As for the fitting of them, I must say that it is easy, although I must stress that they have to be fitted correctly, otherwise they become a hazard. Properly fitted, they are perfectly safe.
Now for the looks, in my humble opinion, they look tacky, although that depends on your own ...
