Hi, I'm Richard Bedford, and Squidworx is me. I design, test, pack and ship every part myself.
I've been riding and racing mountain bikes since I was 17, and for most of that time I was breaking pedals. A rock strike here, a bent axle there, and every time the fix was the same: throw the whole pedal away and buy another. I got tired of it, so I built my own.
I don't make parts just to add another option to the shelf, or to shave five grams off a stem. I only build something when I think it's clearly better than what's already out there. The Modular Pedal was the first: tough enough to take a beating, and if you do break something, you replace that one part, not the whole pedal.
Every part gets ridden hard on the trails around home in BC's Sea to Sky corridor: the wet, rooty North Shore in winter, Pemberton's dry, steep and loose trails in summer, and a certain bike park in between. If it survives that, it'll survive anywhere.
I stand behind what I make. Every pedal comes with a 5-year limited warranty for the original owner, plus crash replacement for every owner, whether you bought it new or second-hand.
Being a one-person company means that when you get in touch, you're talking to the person who designed your pedals. Email me at info@squidworx.bike.
