Edit: I get it... the 2 of them are for the bottom. Edited February 1, 2023 by jmsjms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think that a rethreading and a new screw or getting new side screws is necessary for safety. And the rethreading is a simple thing. If you would bring me the pedal hanger, or even the whole U frame with both pedals, it would be about a beer or two for the job. Ask around between your craftier friends. Getting the old screw and axis out if it is stripped at an unfortunate depth is going to be the hardest part of it. We are too far away... an ocean apart! So, I guess I am check-mated if the safety is a problem. I just tried pushing and pulling both of them, but they are solid in place. And, I've been riding them like this (the way they are flappy) since October.... But I have no choice, and I have to purchase new ones. I've been already looking on Amazon and eBay.

jmsjms Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 I think I would go with the cheaper original ones with the sandpaper. The wheel is old, the warranty expired, and I will be retiring it as soon as I get a new wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably not urgent (you can ride it) if you check that the axis are deep inside before each ride. And buying new pedals won’t solve it much, because you still need to get out the stripped screw, which may need to include drilling. If you just get any screw to put into the front and back holes to make sure the axis will stay in, you can try the magnet stuff, or take the time to find someone… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask around. I couldn't find the Orlando group. I've seen them several times in the city, but I don't ride with them. I made a posting in the local groups section but nobody's responded yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't interested in the pedals themselves, but I had to buy them in order to get the screws.... But on the other hand, since the pedals have been stable and I've been due for the purchase of a new wheel anyway (because mine is out of warranty) I may as well just give up on any more repairs. I already paid extra for mother board repair at the end of last year when the warranty had already expired.... To some extent I already lost confidence in maintaining this wheel, and I may not put any more money into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
