Wanted: MKS Sylvan cap thing

Afternoon everyone

Somehow the cap that covers the bearings on one of my MKS Sylvan track pedals came off whilst on my morning ride. I heard something ping on the road but assumed it was me riding over a bit of metal or something. Plus I was in traffic and couldn't pull over straight away to check the bike. Anyway, it's lost. Does anyone out there have a spare one from a broken pedal that I could buy? If not, where would I be able to get a replacement from?

Anyone else have trouble with these caps coming loose when using double straps?

Cheers as ever,

Mike.

Cheers fellas. Can anyone see any reason why I shouldn't use loctite to keep them on? Shouldn't take much effort to get them off if I ever need to grease the bearings, right?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
