Troubleshooting
Pedal feels loose or develops play
Check the axle nut tension or service the internal DU bushings and sealed bearings for wear.
Reduced grip on the pedal surface
Inspect the 3mm pins for damage or buildup of debris and replace any bent or missing pins.
Pedal is difficult to remove from crank arm
Apply a penetrating oil to the pedal threads and allow it to sit before attempting removal; ensure the correct rotation direction (remembering the left pedal is reverse-threaded).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Large 110mm x 100mm platform size for better stability
- Replaceable pins extend the functional life of the pedals
- Lightweight thermoplastic construction reduces unsprung weight
- Sealed bearings provide excellent protection against trail debris
Cons
- Nylon material may show cosmetic scuffs more easily than alloy
- Large platform may strike obstacles more frequently on narrow trails
- Requires periodic checks to ensure pin tightness
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your crank arms have clean, greased threads. Use a standard pedal wrench or an 8mm hex key to secure the pedals. Note that the left pedal is reverse-threaded. For care, keep the threads clean of grit. If the pedal begins to feel 'notchy' or develops play, the internal DU bushings and bearings are designed for straightforward maintenance. Periodically inspect the 3mm pins; if they become damaged from rock strikes, replace them immediately to maintain optimal grip. It is recommended to use a small amount of thread-locker on replacement pins to ensure they remain secure during vibration.
