Kona Jackshift Pedal

Has extra large 14mm chromoly axle
Double concave shape to promote cupped feel
Replaceable screw in pins
Fully serviceable and replaceable cartage bearings and bushings
Extra large aluminium body with out side section

I got these pedals in august. Second hand barely used basically mint condition. I was unsure about aluminium pedals but went with them anyway. And I have been pleased


First off I like really sticky pedals and tease are sticky. I have destroyed two shoes with them cuz The pins are actually screws and they really dig in. The pedals come with replacement screwing pins. I haven’t lost more than two yet. Where as on my old odyssey pedals I lost almost all of them. Because they are made out of aluminium they sorta scratch easy and I have had to file of a few barbs of metal on them. But I think that’s just how aluminium is. How ever they still seem to work perfectly. They spin nice and feel solid. I don’t know the exact weight but they are quite light. And comfortable.

I would recommend these pedals to anyone who doesn’t do allot of pedal grinds and who like really grippy pedals. It would be nice to see them do a chromoly and a titanium in the same design. But from what I understand Kona isn’t really doing the bmx thing like they used to. Lets hope im wrong on that!

I give these an 8/10

Way to bump a year old thread.

maby i will add since it got bumped. they wore out after about a year.. still fully useable only i re-paced the bearings so they spinn super freely. ( dont like that) they still have most of their orrigonal pins.. (i replace i think 3 in total) so im going to put them on another bike.

so i got shimano DX's last week. completely different feel. while the Jackshits where super grippy and was a flatter platform they are not as good as the dx's . which i have come to find to be the easyest pedal to repair.

but i like my new pedals even more

and maby i should add that it is the jackshit not the jackshift
