But on the other hand, this problem has been happening frequently with CB pedals for a long time now. It must be 3 or 4 years since my Eggbeaters broke in the same way as I was crossing a large, busy main road junction. (I've said in a previous thread that the group I was riding with at the time had about 5 or 6 pairs fall apart)
Personally I think that it's about time they either rectified it or withdrew the pedals for being dangerous. Having your pedal body pull away from the spindle isn't something you want to happen on any bike, never mind a MTB. Add in the fact that CB pedals are expensive, and that they actually charge you for the service kit as well…….well, it's just laughable really.
