Anybody else found these are absolutely dire pedals? The grub screws constantly fall out, despite Lock-Tite and the grip in wet is attrocious, Admittedly the bearings are good, but they dont even look good anymore

Worst pedals I've ever had. No grip at all and bearings knackered within a half dozen rides.

Really are attrocious,
Despite Warranty running out, I'm tempted to right a letter to CB explaining my disappointment!

Nope on my second set, first set died in just over two years, second set now 2 years old and still going strong, looking very battered but "pedal strike" is my middle name. Stock grubbies are rubbish so bought a load from my local boat shop and locked them in with stud lock. Still lose the occasional grub screw but I love em, I'll be buying another pair when the prices drop when the MK2's hit the market.
