I did a solo century ride in the Yorkshire Dales on Saturday that must nearly be a contender for the Epic Fail thread, but two Speedplay-related near misses have enabled me to look on the bright side. Due to a gung-ho route planning oversight I had to walk a section of very rough, stony track, during which one of my keep on kovers came off. The enhanced clip clop on the rocks coming from my left shoe alerted me to the fact quickly enough for me to be able to retrace my steps and recover it from the quagmire. Yesterday I found that one of my pedals was lightly seized, but I was able to flood it with new grease and the bearings (touch wood) feel ok.
Remember to grease those pedals if they’re spinning too freely y’all.
