1. Is it a 7 or 8speed cassette / fw?
2. Why not try a metal DMR V8 pedal? It will outlast a crappy plastic pedal 10x?

3. The RS Dart over the SR Suntour any day. If you can possibly swing it...try finding a good used or OEM Rockshox Tora. So much more useable.
Will the next shocks just go right in? Guy at LBS said the tubes are going to be different, and won't work.
If those grip, then I'm game. I made the mistake once of throwing down $50-70 bucks on some non clip less pedals before and they were garbage. Foot popped off every chance it got on the trail. Guess they can't be as bad as these current metal ones, foot can't seem to stay put on them.
