Picked up on Fleabay a Charge Blender
It has Snafu Flats but they are a bit grunchy
Rather than buy new pedals I will replace the loose ball bearings, but how do you know what size you need?
I dont have anythuing to measure them and I was going to buy online as it was bit emabarrasing going for 26 balls per pedal from a ball bearing wholesaler AND ask them to check the size for me!

Anyone help?

Can't think of a shortcut...does your lbs have verniers?

FWIW new bearings may not improve things that much.

Fold a piece of paper.
Drop ten of the balls in to the V.
Measure how long ten balls is.
The diameter of each ball = 1/10 of that.
