Recommend some cheap yum cha pedals

[iXi]

Looking for a set of cheap yum cha pedals peoples have bought off aliexpress or eBay. I was going to take the plunge but worried about them snapping under my fat load.

So any fellow fat forum members bought some cheap yum cha pedals they can recommend.

What are yum cha pedals ??

"Yum cha also known as going for dim sum, is the Cantonese tradition of brunch involving Chinese tea and dim sum"

There were a few reasonably priced pedals in this thread. Cheapest with most reviews were at the end.

Thanks for the translation but it's usually slang for anything Chinese and cheap.

That makes a lot more sense ?

I think the ones on the last page were less than 30 euros and well rated.

Where do you even begin?!

From a structural stand point, stay clear of ultra-thin pedals cuz the axles will be thin too. Also check out pedal body shapes that house the inner bearing as close as possible to the threaded part of the axle. Also stay away from plastics and multi-piece bodies. Get a one-piece aluminium pedal body.

I've never seen a pedal axle break-off catastrophically even with the cheapies. The crank arms are likely to twist torsionally first before pedals would fail (I've seen it from high drops to flat landings).
