• Of all crank manufacturers, Truvatic/SRAM/Quarq have always been the most insistent that washers are necessary.

  • I don't tighten my pedals like a nutter and haven't had issues yet but if I can get the washers I will use them. Thanks

  • I think Truvativ's roots in the OEM business makes them wary of the horrible pedals which come with OTP bikes, with wrench flats which extend to the shoulder. All decent pedals have full circle contact at the shoulder and are much less likely to cause any problems when mounted without washers.
