serjo73 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Helo everybody I have a pair of echo pedals that broken within the 6 months of warranty period, after contacting with the dealer I've been told that this kind of failure isn't covered by the warranty Those anyone already broke this kind of pedals - as i remember this model is quite new in the market Dealer's respond was that "it looks like it might have had a lot of hits?" https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u2bp5l59zp9g574/EHLR-ih_xN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valk Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I couldn't avoid watching the video of the freewheel play, I gotta say... mine does that too but on an even bigger scale, it moves like 5mm sideways when I turn the cranks.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 The pedals must've been clicking like a good un for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 they don't look that chewed up to me, i'd be livid if they weren't warrantied. if you want some better made, lighter alternatives superstar components offer some awesome pedals at very competitive prices, with a 2 year warrenty against anything. i'd get in touch with tarty and see if they would honour the warrenty for them in that condition.

24martin Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 my axle snapped in the exact same place on the day my warranty ran out.... luckily i didn't get hurt or anything but i should have known better really, wtf was i doing putting lightweight pedals on my old inspired lol would still buy these pedals again as they are super comfy and grippy, but they should be supplied with spare axles instead of spare pins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Echo will provide your dealer with whatever quantity of spare axles he asks for (and pays for). So perhaps that's something worth suggesting. These parts are available but only if you ask about them, Echo don't officially sell these.

serjo73 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Oh my god I rode over a year on odyssey pedals with grinds and hard landing and nothing just pins had take all the damage (only 440 g This is strange that the axle failed, and yeah there maybe some clicking day or two before it snapped. I really hope that the dealer will honor the warranty as the body looks good and it's only 4-5 months. +1 to spare titanium axles on the market. Great pedal! I couldn't avoid watching the video of the freewheel play, I gotta say... mine does that too but on an even bigger scale, it moves like 5mm sideways when I turn the Does doesn't this changing the chainline and makes the chain jump on the rear cog , what kind of tension you using dropouts/spoke/sprung?

valk Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 It doesn't make it jump at the back however the chain has more tension when the cranks are right foot forward then when they are left foot forward. Dropouts are horizontal, tensioner is the built in one that comes with the echo 24"s. However I've analyzed this a bit and it seems that it's a bad alignment from the crank's thread (trialtechs) + the bashring (jaf half bash ring) and the freewheel (echo SL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 1 of them does look faily marked on the end. I take it that's the one that broke ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 looks like they have been cracked for a fair while before they went. I recommend the mag MG-1's and ti axles on ebay are about £50 quid and under 300g! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 the pictures only of one pedal 4 directions You mean you only took pictures of one pedal, presumably drive side, from 4 different angles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
