My saints keep working there way loose..gold nut.
Tightened them twice at the gold but in a week..
This time the seal got messed up and is trashed.
Put an o-ring in its place for now, can I get the seals separately or do I have to buy the whole axle assembly?
Pedals are not even 6 months old.
Thick O ring works better than the seal to be honest. A plastic bush Is pressed into the anodised gold ally housing. If dirt gets in there the bush will wear quickly. I have two pairs of saints.... Keep them going with regular strip down and resetting of the cup and cone bearings (they work like a mini cup and cone hub with really tiny balls).
Not really been happy with mine, cheap for a reason. Pack with grease and use a decent 3-4 mm O ring to keep crap out.
Oh and for seals if you really did want to replace then just measure the diameter of the axle (cannot remember exactly what size it is) and grab some of these

Thanks...looks like ill keep the O-ring on then.. seems to be working ok.
Must admit I'm not happy with them either...They look great, grip is great but having to tighten them up often is pain in the ass..
I had a set warranty replaced after about 3 months due to play developing the axel. Since I've been much more careful to repack them with grease on regular intervals. This seems to keep them fairly sweet, but agree they're not as robust as I'd hoped when I purchased.
