Have any of you had reliability problems with you speedplay pedals? -- Warm regards, Rick Poole (864) 268-4145 I've been using X1's and X3's on two road bikes and a tandem for three years and have no complaints whatsoever. I have Frogs on the stoker pedals for my wife and like them all. The road bikes have been thru 3 winters in the Northwest, rain and all, and are still fine. Good luck.

Mine started to develop play due to wear in the bushings after 1000 miles. They are pretty cheaply built for a 100 dollar pedal. The X-2's have full ball bearings and a nice stainless steel spindle. They are just as good as the X-1's but without the Titainium. Although they cost more than the X-3's they will last much longer. --- |

boyd- I thought the X-1s had ball bearings but the X-2s and X3s had needle
bearings. To be honest I'm not sure what the difference is. BRBR X-1, X-2, and Zero have two teeny cart bearings on the outboard and a set of needle bearings on the inboard. The teeny cart bearings are replaceable, the needle bearings are permanently attached to the 'puck'..X-3 have bushings all around.
