Product Information
Full details
The Shimano PD-M828 Pedal Long Pins (YL8A98020) are essential for mountain bikers who rely on the aggressive grip of the Saint PD-M828 platform pedals. Designed for riders who frequent technical or muddy terrain, these pins restore the high-traction interface between your shoes and the pedal body. While they provide excellent stability, users should note that the longer profile significantly increases the potential for skin abrasions if you happen to slip a pedal during a ride.

FAQs
Does this pack include enough pins for both pedals?
The pack contains 12 pins, which is typically enough for one pedal. For a full refresh of both pedals, you will need two packs.
Are these pins compatible with PD-M820 pedals?
No, these are specifically designed for the PD-M828 model.
Do I need a special tool to install these?
Usually, a standard hex key is sufficient, but check your pedal's specific pin socket type before beginning.
Can these pins be used on other brands of pedals?
They are specifically machined for Shimano PD-M828 pedals and may not fit the thread pitch or depth of other brands.
Should I use grease on the threads?
It is recommended to use a mild threadlocker rather than grease to prevent the pins from backing out during vibration.
Troubleshooting
Pin will not thread into the pedal body
Ensure the pedal socket is free of dirt or broken screw fragments from the previous pin.
Pins vibrate loose after a ride
Apply blue threadlocker to the threads during installation and ensure they are torqued to the manufacturer's recommendation.
Pin head is stripped during removal
Use a high-quality screw extractor tool or a small file to create a slot for a flat-head screwdriver.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Restores factory-level grip to worn-out pedals
- Precise fit guarantees no interference with pedal body installation
- Easy to source and install for routine bike maintenance
- Durable steel construction prevents frequent snapping
Cons
- Sharp edges can cause serious injury upon accidental contact with shins
- May require blue threadlocker to prevent loosening over time
- Not compatible with other pedal models beyond the PD-M828
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard hex wrench or specialized pin tool depending on the specific pin design. Always ensure the pedal body is clean and free of debris before attempting removal of the old pins to prevent stripping the socket.
- Compatibility: Specifically designed for Shimano PD-M828 mountain bike pedals.
- Installation Tip: Apply a small drop of low-strength (blue) thread-locking fluid to the threads of each new pin before installation to prevent them from vibrating loose during heavy trail use.
- Maintenance: Periodically check pin tightness as part of your pre-ride inspection, especially after riding in wet or grit-heavy conditions.
