Title: That's hot!?!
Review: I suppose I should have expected this as there is obiously no space for gears but I was still caught off guard when it burned me. The tension mechanism uses friction only to bring you to higher "gears". That friction then heats up not only the "gear box" but the entire length of the pedal arms as well. Thank goodness they made the pedals out of plastic cause that's the only part of the body that doesn't transfer heat. You can avoid the heat by never turning up the tension but then why buy a tensioning pedal? My advise is to spend the extra money for one that uses real mechanical gears cause this thing is useless.
