Those Speed Merchant pegs look great. For a mid-control DX or Cali style setup, they are a really good choice.
I like the DK Stealth Trap pedals for my forwards because they act and feel like a footboard but the free rotation allows me to move my feet around without losing a firm foot on the pedal. The only complaint I have is that they stick out pretty far and scrape on slow speed sharp turns. They probably wouldn't work well on mid-controls at all.
Whoever posted the Bungking info owes me $40!! I just ordered a pair of the BMX adapters along with some narrower billet aluminum BMX pedals.
The cool thing is that DK Customs has the spring-pin peg fasteners that make peg replacement a 30 second task.
Word to the wise, anyone looking for BMX style pegs will find a HUGE selection on BMX pages. Buying the pegs along with the Bungking adapters still costs less than many of the BMX style pegs from motorcycle shops.
I've run DS knurled (not enough knurling to really keep you planted), Burly bmx style (way grippy but look too cheap and cheesy), stock rubber pegs (cheap, easy to find, work great, bland style), Biltwell mushmans ( cheap, plenty of grip, not too flashy but look right) and Speed Merchant sport pegs ( little too small but look killer and have a lot of grip) Faves are the Biltwell and Speed Merchants. Can't go wrong with either.

good feedback.
SLV, i'll have to look into those adapters. I've got BMX pedals all over the place! Also, the Odyssey Twisted Composite are cheap so replacement is affordable if you're dragging them in the turns a lot...
Those Tiogas are sweet. But did you look into the new Shimano Saints?

The Odyssey's are cheap $$ and very durable; just a little bright for my bike. I used to use an older version of Odyssey pedals on my BMX bikes. I sold all my BMX stuff when I got old. I have one bike and I hardly ever ride it. I use my beach cruiser a lot, but I hardly need aftermarket pegs to run the damn dog around the neighborhood.
I didn't see the Saints until now, they look good. I bought the Tiogas based on some advice from a kid in my neighborhood (and a little spin on his bike (he didn't ride mine!))
The three bearing setup on the Tiogas is really strong. You really can't go wrong with grip spikes or studs for wet weather hold.
I think the OP is looking for something more mid-control friendly though. If I had miss on a DX style setup, I'd go with the Speed Merchant pegs. They make really good products.
