I’ve gone to a machine shop to have pedal extenders drilled, so this isn’t a stretch...

I'm glad you can understand how easy it would be to modify them if you truly needed it done. I do believe that it is personal preference as I think that the lead on the pedal looks perfectly fine.

Some more good news, we were lucky enough to get on bay news 9 here in Tampa bay. They did a short interview about the pedal. It has been put up on their website here. It was fun to do.

A piece of advice from someone who would actually consider your product....
Change the name and get a different logo.
I mean, I get the reference but an aggressive dog with its teeth clenched around something is not a pleasant image for some.

I do appreciate it but we are too far along at this time to make a change. Our thought was that these pedals grip like a pit bull. They will not let go until you want them to let go.

1. The above has little to do with your main sales pitch, which is that they're the "fastest" pedal.
2. The above implies that presently available pedals aren't good at keeping a rider clipped in. Are you making that claim as well?

2. Not necessarily, existing pedals I do believe will hold you in place even under sprint conditions. Some have been known to let loose before, but not very often.

All a drop in the bucket once you get into manufacturing, stocking, and selling your product. If you agree at all with the comments being made, there's no time better than now to change direction.

Again I do agree with you, but as of right now with the thousands of people that have viewed the product you are the first one that had anything to say about the name. We have gotten all of our pricing back from everywhere. We are just hoping to get the project off the ground. But we are having a lot of fun trying to do this.

"We have ridden our prototypes for multiple years and not had to replace any parts to date."
Have you ridden for multiple years or over multiple years? Because it's not the same thing.
Have you got a pedalling machine set up running 24/7?
