    thanks for any help, marc

  • Use fingers, make sure it gets all over the threads. Don't do them up with a spanner or allen key, finger tight is fine, your pedalling movement will do the rest. I struggle to release every set of pedals I ever install, regardless of how loosely I think I've initially done them up.

  • Being a bit of a vandal, and being lazy, i drill a 1mm hole in the outer end cap and pump a couple of squirts of finish line grease in every month.
    The new grease pushes the old grease out through the inboard seals.
    I have a couple of sets of M540 spds that are getting on for a decade old and i have never had to take them apart in order to service them.
    So it works a treat for me.

  • I now feel I may have missed the point. Fail.

  • Just chuck loads of grease on them and make sure its evenly spread. I'd tighten them with a spanner. I know the rotating action is supposed to keep them on but i've had a couple fall off before. Which isn't good.

  • A pedal fell off my 50s Triumph the other day and almost killed my housemate. Use a spanner. Unless you want to kill your housemate.
