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.

Ah, interesting point. I've not noticed any wear or anything on the metal insert so presume running without is fine but it won't hurt to have them in place. More importantly I found a damaged Di2 batter cable I need to replace - not sure how it happened - it's not like it's getting squished into bottle cage bosses or anything - maybe just an unlikely twist or something?

I agree with Jobst Brandt, that there are no decent pedals, because the interface lacks a 45° chamfer. From this vantage point, pedal washers offer a barely significant improvement...

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
