It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The cheapest flat pedals I can find which I then abuse for 3 years untill I buy new ones. I never quite figured out why people spend 60 euros on crankbrother pedals when I can get similar ones from Biltema that cost 15 euros and are 100 grams lighter.

Mine cost $12 and work great, but I'm just a commuter and joyrider. I can see why more serious than riders get fancy stuff, but I prefer your approach: If it works, it works.
