    I don't think Wellgo have a UK importer, we see them here through various other channels. This allows shops to price them as they see fit... What is starting to happen, as retailers realise they are pumping out quality goods, is that the prices are rising. I think the same will happen with this. I can see it being £50.

    I Noticed on the wellgo website that these b181`s are BMX pedals, not much use to us mountain bikers then, although the wellgo M194`s should be.

    Ride everywhere, To/from work(12hrs work a day/5 days a week) and still the energy to hit the trails.

    Many MTB pedals are listed under BMX, makes no difference.

    Surely BMX pedals are made for BMX bikes , and MTB pedals are made for MTB bikes.
    I would not want to try and put a mtb pedal on my bmx.

    Many pedals are designed for both, many are 'BMX' style used on MTBs, and in the case of Wellgos website, they are rather mixed up. Nothing to be worried about.

    Ran with B54s for some time which were BMX pedals supposedly. Grippy as hell. Nice pedals, but too thick really. These would have been more ideal, but rich man in me bough Vaults instead :P

    They look like a half eaten waffle.
    This is a bicycle.

    Yarp Sonic, can only say the days of bargain wellgo components will soon be behind us, When people realise there more solid than items like DMR's V12's and so on :( have seen priced begining to rise.
