Bump: weight limits on pedals used for fixed gear riding

[Patrick Moore]

My old, bought-used, 215 gr Xpedo double-sided SPD clones with ti spindles have a published weight limit of 180 grams.

I was 162 at last weighing.

The bike on which I think of installing them is a fixed gear. 

I’m hardly a torque monster, being (as little children like to carefully explain), 70 and a half, but I do tend to stand and torque up hills rather than sit and twiddle.

Yes, I realize that I’m trying to push off responsibility for an informed decision onto other people, but still, humor me: would you ride 180-limit pedals if you weighed 18 lb less than that, and liked ot stand when you climb?

Thanks.

PS: Perhaps I should use the XC Pros and MKS Deep Clips with clip pads and strap pads and strap buttons and newly Vibram’d Duegis on this bike, instead.
