the speed king is the pedal i can envision people saying "the don't make em like that anymore"
and, like an old car or truck, for good reason.
i had one. got rid of it when i got my camco. liked the camco so much i got two more.
anywho, the metal linkage to the beater is odd, and can get bent.
the way the metal linkage pulls on the beater assembly is at an odd angle, and has an unnatural feel.
the internal springs were a neat idea, but i like to be able to adjust things without disassembly.
thing is there have been many improvements made since this pedal was designed. chain drives, off set cams, roller bearings, pedal boards etc etc.
they still have fan, and uses. but don't just go by what the people say. this ain't high school.
when it's not their money, people will tell you exactly what to get.
but it's your money, and time. so try different things out before you drop some coin on something that might just be a ****.
