Riding through the winter in the north of Enland gives me a pretty good idea about this sort of thing. I've got one of the 36 tooth ones and it doesn't really get any more clogged up than a normal bash as the honeycomb is on the outside where it makes very little difference. Bear in mind as well that these E-13 bash guards are light for how strong they are, which is all down to the honeycomb. They take way bigger impacts than a solid Gammut ring which is around abouts the same weight.......

My G2 did the same thing on a moderate impact when only a few weeks old. Then I got an E13 LG1 and smashed that into some stuff for two years until I sold the bike it was on and it still worked like new......

Don't think for one moment that the Superstars are a lesser pedal or even a 'copy' of the same pedals from other manufacturers like Deity, Nukeproof etc, they are all basically picked out of a catalogue and are made by HT components of Taiwan. I had a set of HT pedals from Eurobike a few years back before the first big name use of the design (Kona Wah Wah) was available to buy anywhere. Some companies add little touches to make them a bit different but they were all based on the original design done by HT themselves. And yeah, you can bend an axle but thats because its a low profile design and the axle has to be relatively slim to fit the cartridge bearing around it. You still get plenty enough strength for most situations and the sealing is excellent. If you pay more than the superstar price you are just paying for the name. These Spanks are a different design to the Superstars so lets see if they are actually worth the extra $$$.
