This is 100% my experience, and who I prefer V8's (even when a bit loose/rattly)
Almost every pair of sealed bearing pedals I've had has failed where the tiny bearing blows up and strips the thread that the nut sits on to keep it in place. Many times this has happened within the warranty period.
This is with use on a bmx, so about as hard as it gets, but they've mostly been billed as bmx pedals anyway, should be lasting longer than a year.Currently using a heavy af pair of full bushing pedals. Plastic with metal pins, replaceable body & lifetime guarantee (apparently)

Good to know, thanks.
Sounds like you have Odyssey JCPC's? Great pedals, I ran them for years when I was still in London working as a courier. They were perfect for winters and maintenence free. They need new bodies and pins now. They're actually on this build in question temporarily while I decide what I want. I could rebuild them, but I'd like something slimmer and metal. V8's may be the way to go?

Interesting view - so you think unsealed will outlast sealed as long as you keep them correctly adjusted and greased?
