This was the original axle shape. Notice that the replacement is on
the left side.

If you look at this you can see that the lock bolt has been moved to
the outside and a plastic end cap is installed over it.


After investigation, it is as I said. The "Blade" is a different
product. It uses a glass fibre flat spring instead of a steel coil
spring.

The Blades use a retaining bolt ala pedals of yore while the Max uses the threaded collar on the spindle.

the threaded collar on the spindle.


Further to this, I just checked my Look Keo 2 Max "Carbon" pedals, and
the _RHS_ pedal threaded collar on the spindle has a *left hand* thread,
where as the _LHS_ pedal threaded collar has a *right hand* thread.

The opposite "handedness" to the axle/crank threads.

One would expect that the Frogs would understand the process by which
pedals don't normally loosen from cranks by now, and have chosen the
thread direction of the threaded collar to also not loosen under
_normal_ riding conditions.

I note that if the pedal bearing is near seized, the action of pedalling
can override the normal precession force, and in which case the pedal
will unwind from the crank.

I also took a moment to check out my Shimano double sided SPD pedals on
the MTB. PD-M540. The construction of the bearing retaining assembly
looks remarkably similar. A threaded collar on the spindle.

In this video, the author also notes that the LHS pedal collar is RH
threaded and vice versa.

Reverse body thread on the chain side is in keeping with
reverse spindle threads on the off side.
