 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Bought some (new) Neutron Evos and fitted about 5 weeks ago. Â They've had an easy life so far (no strikes to speak of, gentle XC, some climbing. Â Singlespeed setup
Noticed today on the road pretty much as it happened the NDS pedal developed about 4mm lateral play.
Seem to remember someone else here having bad luck with them after any hits. Â But 5 weeks of pootling seems unreasonable or?
The awesomeness channelled through the Schwarzenegger-like thighs of a Singlespeeder will obliterate anything to an untimely demise.
Except cat aids.
Fixed off road certainly does! Can't see how SS would?
Or I could just tighten the end-nuts. Â Which seems fine now 😑
Fixed off road certainly does!
Yep, my pedals are constantly striking the edges of single track
Have the same pedals and same problem. I just remember to check them every few rides. I've got some loctite but have never quite got round to using it
I was just about to say check the end caps are tight! At least that sorted it.
I strip and grease all new pedals because they come with bugger all grease in them.
Then they last forever - until I bend them, that is.
I've serviced one pedal.
It went back together with one less ball bearing.
I no longer service pedals.
959s on my ss are 18 (I think) years old. Doesn't seem to have done them any harm so far but they are also used on a geared bike so maybe that cancels it out.
9yr old XTRs on the ss race bike, also fine.
Ritchey somethingorothers on a geared bike lasted about a month before the bearings gave up. Suspect it has more to do with quality of pedal than type of bike.
I'd always suggest checking crank bolts, too
Some dickheads apparently start commuting on an old mtb and feel weird looseness in the pedal for a day or two but don't actually look until the ****er's barely hanging on - old Octalink, luckily so it nipped back up just fine
... err, apparently
Do you ride on the flat? My Commute is now all flat so I pedal way more than I ever did on a proper MTB ride and I havn't killed pedals, maybe you just got crap pedals
