The legendary Shimano DX pedal. Always influential, and duplicated, but nothing surpassed the original.

I had these DX pedals as a replacement for ones initially stolen on my 1986 Haro Sport (Bob Haro Edition). They were the only gold components on my chrome freestyle bike.

The reflectors were easy to pop out and when I saw in “BMX Plus!” Magazine that they were listed as the best BMX pedal ever made, I had to get them.

When I got them at Johnnie’s Bike Shop in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, I had to finish all my homework to earn them, so my poor mom could buy them. They were the most beautiful pedals I’ve ever seen. Almost mythical. Made me feel like I could fly on my bike over any curb or jump. I even have the scar on my left shin to remember these pedals. Great for mountain biking too.
