my mallets have seized up after 4 months of light use ๐Ÿ™
I've been looking for rebuild kits but can't seem to find any past 2009.
does anyone know where to get them..?
in the meantime I'll strip/rebuild/regrease and see if that helps!

I wouldn't bother, I rebuilt my Mallets twice and they last a few months only. The seals are poor, the bearings too small and the bearing at the crank end is a plastic bush. Not good enough. I had some correspondence with 2pure back in the day and they were very helpful but I think we'd agreed to agree that the bearings are not all they should be.

I switched to Time equivalents and have forgotten what rattly pedals and strip downs mean

As archstanton says ^. Worst pedals I ever owned. The build quality and components are a joke for the price. I gave mine away and went back to using Shimano PD-M545s.

If you really want to rebuild them then it seems that Wiggle do a kit, though the ratings they show for it do not inspire confidence. See above again
