No. The shop I work at has sold many sets of X pedals over th last 1
1/2 years, with no complaints. I own a set and love them.

What kind of problem are you having?

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.

The X-3's lack ball bearings and uses a single bushing instead. 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.

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.

I just did a google images search on needle bearing,
and now I know:

Instead of balls, it's got little cylinders that roll.

boyd- I thought the X-1s had ball bearings but the X-2s and X3s had needle
bearings.

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.
