I’m getting a bit of play in one of my pedals, a service seems due.

The official service kit is pretty pricey at £20-£25, but I’ve just seen an offering from these guys:

Considerably cheaper at a fiver…does anyone have any experience of these kits? Is it worth the saving?

servicing V12’s?

good luck getting the journal bearing out.

(it can be done, but it’s a pain)

when you’ve done that, you’ll need a similar amount of luck to install the new bearing.

if you like the shape, get some wellgo v8 copies for a tenner, and a grease gun.

(they’ll go for years)

Yeah, I’ve resigned myself to buying the DMR bearing service tool to make removal easier. The GF has these pedals on her FS as well, so makes sense as I’m likely to be doing it a good few times before both sets of pedals die 🙂

I bought the pedals in 2013, so they haven’t been doing *too* bad!

Assuming you’be got the slightly older v12s….If it’s just a bit of play then a strip down, clean and re-grease should address the problem. Always does with mine anyway.

Cool – it’s not a big amount of play, I’ll try a clean & degrease first before ordering new things 🙂
