I've got a set of XTR trail pedals but both have snapped axles at the end where the locknut fits, meaning there's no way to get them adjusted.

Anyone know a good source of replacement axles or maybe some other inspiration on how to manage without...

TIA

They should be covered by warranty. It's a known issue.

I know hence the question...

I should add that the seller was honest that they weren't right so no lynch mobs 🙂

Why not try fitting one or at least measure the XT. I bet you they fit!

Seller was me. I've just discovered Shimano have a 3 year warranty on XTR parts, and as these are less than 3 years old, bought new from Merlin, hopefully this can all be resolved, one way or another.

Clubber, I'm back in the uk on Monday , so mail me and we can try and get it sorted out.

Will do. As I said earlier I've got no problem with the sale but if it was possible to warranty that'd be great.
