Just packing up my bike to travel back from Budapest and the god damn stupid Allen bolt bit on the pedals rounded off, completely .

Can't see how I'll get the pedal out so if anyone haz 5800 or 6800 preferably in 172.5 or 175 (and black) spare pls let me know .

Not cash rich at the moment so cheaper the better .

Thanks

Tom

Mole grip on the pedal axle?

Bring it to TLCW and we can remove it (for real, we do shit like that everyday).

I won't be in the smoke any time soon sadly, if you think it's removable I'll try the lbs... Testing the water though for alternative , also I wouldn't mind a 4 arm chainset.

The axles are rather shiny/smooth/slender... Can't see a mope grip doing it really .

TBH a decent bike workshop will be able to take it off, it's very annoying for a decent chainset to become redundant because of the pedals.

Pedals are cheaper, sometime it best to disassembled it completely, dremel two flat side on the axles and then use a vice/molegrip.

It is trash after it gotten rounded.

take the crank off, find someone with a bench vice and use all your weight to clamp it, i've got similar out with loctite on using that method. can probably still use the pedals afterwards too if you're lucky

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
