...I like your pedals, they're a very clever elegant design, but why oh why oh why do you insist on using such low quality materials, even on your most expensive models ??
I recently bought some used Triple Tis on ebay, when they arrived they had a worrying amount of play in the bushes. Emailed the seller who said "I thought I said they needed a service". He hadn't said anything of the sort. Thanks. But no big deal, I'll buy a service kit, it's only £15 and that should sort it out. Once I took them apart this is what I found:
Part "A" is where the bush runs and should be the same diameter as part "B". The nylon bush has worn away the Titanium axle. Amazing.
So I double-checked the pedals on my other bikes. A pair of Eggbeater C that I've had a while but not used all that much, maybe a dozen short rides, so probably less than 200 miles and they have some play in the bushes. And the other set, a pair of eggbeater SL that I know for certain have been used once, for 20 miles, on a road bike, in the dry and they have play in them too.
I know they're a minimal design and might need a bit more attention than something from Shimano, but seriously, new bushes after twenty miles ? I can only assume they're meant to be like this and you literally run them until they fall apart.
