This may be common knowledge but new to me. Was seriously hacked off finding that Shimano charge £4 for a pack of 10 replacement pins as lots of my riding is rocky and they get bent pretty easily. Found that they are M3 x 8mm cup end stainless set screws.
Found a UK supplier, [url= http://www.orbitalfasteners.co.uk/products/I--Stainless-Steel-Socket-Set-Screw--Grub-Screws--2539/1.html ]Orbital Fastners[/url] . Just ordered 60 for about £7, and they do 10mm as well if you want longer pins.
Assume that this will apply to all pedals that use standard set screws
Thought I would give this a bump in case people were out riding and hadn't seen it
60! that's a lifetime supply right there
Is it saving money to buy more than you will probably ever need for nearly twice as much?
bit of a hijak but how the hell do you get a snapped pin out.
tried to get it out but to no avail.can,t drill as ally pedals(goose thread)any ideas.
Got a big supply as postage accounts for £1.20 of the total and I'm going to replace the centre pins with 10mm which Shimano don't do.
May be my incompetence but reckon it's pretty easy to bugger a couple of pins on one big rocky ride like yesterday, so now I'll just replace while its still easy to get them out
Even better, but I won't lose sleep 🙂 . Wanted both 8mm and 10mm so would have been 2 packs anyway
heh! there's also these for added shin damage!

I tried, and failed, and then got a mate who works for an engineering firm to tap in a new hole next to the one with the snapped pin in.
