haydon_peter Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Pedals are pretty straight forward to service. If the pedals have open bearings you can follow these instructions which show how to service a DMR V8 pedal. I know your pedals are different but most open bearing pedals will use a similar system. If the bearings are knackered you will be able to buy replacement bearings from any decent bike shop for a few quid. If the pedals run sealed bearings (Like the Wellgo MG1 and DMR V12 pedals) servicing is even easier, you just need to remove the end cap from the pedal, undo a lock nut and then slide the pedal off the axle. You can then clean and re-grease the axle and reassemble the pedal. With both types of pedals remember that the left hand pedal might have an opposite thread on the lock nut!

sstein Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 im sure they use a different system than bearings Depends on the pedal but most of them still run bearings, or at least they run bearings on the outside and bushings on the inside.
