Eggbeater pedal clicing question...
Hi, I have the origional version of CrankBros Eggbeater (ie not the Ti or
the Look version) pedals which are about 3 months old now. The left pedal starting clicking a couple weeks ago whenever I put weight on it. At first I thought it was my BB so I tightend that, Then I thought it was my crank, so I tightened that. Then I thought it was my cleats, but when I push down on the pedal clipped out using my heal, it still clicks. Then I replaced my pedal with an old SPD and guess what no clicking. So I took the pedal apart (easy, one bolt) put new grease in and tightened it up. This stopped it clicking for about a half an hours ride. Now whenever I tighten up the little bolt, I can keep it clicking for about 15 minutes but then it starts again. I've written to crankbros and they were helpful and said I could just send em the pedal and they would sort it out for me, unfortunatley, I'm living in the UK for the next year so its a little difficult. Anyone have any tips on sorting out eggbeaters? Would the eggbeater rebuild kit help? If so, think I could go for more than 3 months before having to do it again? I love the pedals and hope someone can give me some tech info on how to eliminated that most annoying of clicks! cheers |

If you have SPDs to spare, I'd send it back to Crank Bros. and let them make it right for you. -- Ryan Cousineau, http://www.sfu.ca/~rcousine President, Fabrizio Mazzoleni Fan Club |
