Tried them at a technical 4hr enduro that was very muddy in parts and technical in parts and i had to unclip about 5 times a lap, and they were fantastic, just throw yr foot down on the pedal somewhere and boom you are clipped in in no time. Was very very happy with them. But then when I got home I noticed pedals were basically seized. It was obvious the muddy conditions were too much for whatever they have as a way of sealing against the elements. Which is rather disappointing. Then, I discover you can download a manual transmission how to service from HT or anywhere on the internet, and no manual os included in the box. So that's really doubly disappointing. Then on trying to wing it, I discover you need a super super thin 8mm socket which about 0.1 percent of the global population wld have or be able to find. Why make it so hard to service? I managed a work around by jamming a flat head screwdriver in to hold the nut whilst undo axle. As suspected, both pedals chock full of mud and muddy water. Lengthy process ensued to fully clean and re grease. All good now, but im and concerned how often will I need to do this? After every wet ride? So a brilliant performing pedal re clip in, but seemingly as weather proof as a tea bag, looking to be a pedal that needs a lot of take ap(more...)
