Bit of an odd/disappointing one from Madison today-
XTR pedal
4 months out of warranty and the axle shears at the threaded end and detaches from the pedal body
It’s a common problem, well documented here and other forums
Ask politely if, as it seems to be a common and recognised issue, whilst they are out of warranty they can do anything and just a rather abrupt email back that it’s out of warranty so no, and if I need spare parts speak to my dealer, however Madison only stock spare axles for RH pedals (mine is the left)
Quote “The only spare axle we stock are the right hand side which the part code is y46g98050”
What’s that about, a supposedly rebuildable part that the UK distributor doesn’t hold spare parts for, unless it’s on the right hand side of the bike?!
Seems odd as I can get a LH axle online for £30 from places such as SJS Cycles http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/shimano-xtr-pd-m985-pedal-axle-assembly-left-46g-9802-prod30394/
But as this is the 2nd one thats gone on me I think I would now rather just get some different, more reliable pedals
