Help. Tried hard to twist the reflectors off the shimano pdm520 pedals on my new cx bike. Anyone got tips or wanna swap pedals?
MTFU
Bet I can get them off for you...

I've had this before and managed to loosen the spring tension off to loosen it up a little. Should be able to get a hex key in with it still fitted.
Thanks druidh. Really useful. I'll go and do just that.
just use a hacksaw to cut the plastic bits, easiier when fitted to bike.
They are a tad stiff - but sufficient twist & pull gets them out after a few tries. Easier when fitted on the bike.

A bit OTT!!
Lever the back of the cleated part out with a screwdriver... to open the spring. Do this when they're on the bike to avoid stabbing yourself in the palm with it 🙂

That. Seriously. Eat some porage for breakfast and you'll manage it fine.

Cool. Thanks all. Just wish we were all as good as druidh. What a great name as well. By Jove.
You got them out yet? 😀
They...are...off.
Could've just gone for a ride at a trail centre, judging by the number of them littering the trails, they appear to spontaneously fall off whenever they're near one.

Do you want the reflectors? If not, I would like them.

I've got some that I've just taken off some 520's and don't think I'll ever use. The plastic is a little squished where I levered them out with a screwdriver, but they should still fit back in OK.
If you want them, send me a mail (address in profile) with your address & whatnot and I'll stick them in the post (once I remember!). Won't be able to do it until next week.....
