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.

Is there any advantage to having higher pedals/footrests on these?

[โ€“] corm@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It makes it harder to hit roots and rocks while off roading, and you can turn sharper, but really no

In general the lower the pedals are to the ground the easier it is to ride and the more stable it is

The Falcon pedals here are quite high up and it makes it feel less stable. I would prefer them an inch or two lower
