1337 Trials Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Hey! Ive had my dmr v8's for a while now and havn't greased them as there on my mountain bike which I tend to ride it once and leave it for a while. However I have started to ride it a lot more now and I have a feeling the bearings are gone. When I pedal, the right one squeaks a lot and when I rattle it with my hand it shakes a round. If I put my foot on the edge of the pedal when when im pedalling it makes a crunching noise now. Will a new set of bearings sort this or should I buy some new pedals? Im very tempted to just buy some newer cheaper pedals. I wont be doing mad jumps just 5mile bike ride 4x a week and maybe some trails. Ive just looked at how to service dmr v8's and half off my pins on missing and I can't replace as well as the re-grease port because I did use them for trials which screwed the thread where the pins go ~Thanks Edited June 7, 2011 by 1337 Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Give 'em a grease and see how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Flush them trough using the grease port if that fails the bearings are cheap enough to replace so dont worry too much about it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrBENN Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 When this happened to mine, i just gave them a clean and regease and they worked fine again. But if your hearing a crunching noise then one of the bearings might have gone but as Rodreguez said, there easy enough to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks for reply bud. Do I have to use the dmr grease in the syringe? I did have some lieing around but it seems to have gone missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrBENN Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well if you have the DMR grease then sure use that. I used all of mine and filled it up with normal grease and that worked fine Hope you get the problem sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
