Lots of good pedals mentioned here, but none of them are MUSA. I doubt there are any MUSA pedals for less than $100, never mind less than $30.

OK, but I'm content to at least support an American company that makes stuff in Taiwan, vs a Chinese knockoff made in China.

I suspect Stolen made them primarily for BMXers to have decent pedals that would probably be torn up before worn out. They're strong but not easily serviced, so they probably consider the Thermolites to be disposable. The iSSi pedals are made to be serviced as needed.
