Default How long should pedals last?

I get around 5000mi out of pedals and it doesn't seem to
matter much what their price was. Then the bearings are
gone. Similar with bottom brackets. I have always lived in
or near hilly terrain which probably doesn't help.

My preferences are big MTB pedals, both on the MTB and on
the road bike. No clips of any kind.


My Look Keo 2 Max pedals have done probably 50,000km. I
think they are about stuffed. $100 - $150 a pair. I ride
plenty of hills and I don't have little gears. I have
inspected the internals once or twice. The grease is always
as new. IOW the seals have not let anything of note pass.

Maybe it is your mountain lions that kill pedals?


Too bad they are not big platform MTB pedals.


Similar quality but larger bearings in platform pedals are a
standard product:
