I_Must_Bust Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Is there a good source for pedal screws that'll fit my a Gotway Tesla that doesn't take aliexpress-length times for shipping? It looks like the tesla I bought was missing one of the screws that holds the pedal peg/axel in place. Seems dangerous even though I've apparently done over 200km without noticing. The threads aren't stripped so I doubt it fell out and seems more likely that it was never there to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfling Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If you know the size and thread pitch - search Ace, Home Depot, McMaster-Carr or even Amazon. Or take the other similar crew to Home Depot and try it on their sizing tool to be accurate. Also, apply medium thread locker for safety. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's located in the hardware aisle by the assorted bolts/screws section. Edited November 17, 2020 by Surfling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delmeekc Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 M10 X 1.5 I think, look for socket point cup set screws or hex socket set screws on eBay, should only be a few pounds for 5 or 10 of them. I did a post of adding some parts to my MSuperX footplates and it should be on there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmeekc Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Just checked and M10 X 1.5 and length to suit what you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmeekc Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 This is for an MSuperX and an MCM5 so assume it's the same. Pop one out and give it a measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Must_Bust Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Fantastic. There's no issue with using regular hex head rather than cup set that you know of? I don't see the point of the cup set ones other than aesthetics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point of the cup set ones other than aesthetics I ran mine with a long brass bolt whilst I was waiting for the cup screws to arrive. The only thing is it'll stick out and look shite I guess. Try you local gotway dealer as you can probably buy the OEM screws from them too. I always clean them off and add a little thread lock so they don't come out. Messy though due to the course pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyrideWheels Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The keywords are SET screw or GRUB screw. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=ideas-and-advice/grub-screw-guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they vibrate loose & if not tightened, they slip out. My Mten3 tends to do that quite often til I applied loctite blue. Regardless its good practise to check 'em screws for tightness every few rides. Don't take much time & saves lotsa potential stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
