Great video. Very helpful doing a rebuild of my XTR pedals. For all the complaints, mine have been bombproof for about 5000mi. Finally did the first bearing service on them using this vid.
Great video. I can't believe Shimano used that flimsy seal. All my XTR pedals had that seal pop out and all my pedals needed rebuilds within months of owning them. I gave up on the XTR's and went back to the M540.
what's worse is they don't sell the seal as spare parts, at least that I know if, which is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. This alone is a reason not to get them imo. thanks for the comment 👍

Happens me the same. The seal pops out after some few hours of use. It's ridiculous to be disassembling pedals once a month on a regular use. And more insane is to not sell spare parts of the most sensitive pieces! 😢
I have 3 sets of pedals. 2 x dura ace and 1 pr of XTR m9100. I strip and clean all those oedals end of summer and end of winter. Never needed to change the ball bearings at all. They are size 3/32” with 26 in each pedal. Cost less than £10 for 54 of them. I bought mine at Condor Cycles U.K.
Your way ahead of the curve. Most people I know didn't know they were serviceable. With a bit of maintenance these pedals will last a long time. I just wish shimano would sell the seal as a spare.
I rarely disassemble the shaft on my SPDs, just clean pedal housing and shaft as best as possible, adjust if necessary and jamb the bottom of pedal with waterproof marine grease.
At least you give them some attention, your WAY ahead of the curve. Most people I know didn't even know it was an option until I mentioned it to them. I just wish shimano would sell the seals on these things. The company makes good products but they can be very frustrating from a spares parts perspective.
Technically yes, ESPECIALLY when Torquing down precise components, or else there is a formula that needs to to be applied in order order to get the target torque reading. I tend to forget some of these details when recording videos as there are so many distractions. Ultimately your right. I should have provided a better example and will mention it in a future videos as I occasional mention the proper way to hold a torque wrench. thanks for bringing this error to light!! 👍
unfortunately I don't, and from I know they don't sell the seal individually. I believe you would need to buy a replacement axle to get teh seal, which is BS imo . If I come across more info I'll let you know
can you let me know which spacer your referring to by mentioning the time stamp in the video? i'm sure I'll be like "DOH" when when you point it out, but right now im shot from doing trail work all day 😵💫
@@ronnielpalma9429 That's really odd myman. Both m9000 and m9100's have that spacer. It helps retain the bearings as well. Were the inner bearings in place when you opened the pedal? Did you buy these new? were they ever serviced before? if you bought these new and they had never been serviced, I'd go to a shimano dealer and warranty them.
Agreed. I do this more often than I not. Reality is I'm used to just doing these jobs on my own and rarely had to explain them so when it comes to terminology on some of this stuff there is definitely much to improve. I don't realize how much I do this until I edit. Sometimes it has me questioning whether I need to see a neurologist, which I'm pretty sure I do 😁
I used these pedals on my all-road bicycle. No trails, no rocks, nothing.. XTR and Dura Ace have 3 years warranty. 3 years and 2 months after buying them, one of the parts holding the cleat, the ones pushed by the springs, split in half while riding casually. The grain of the metal was pretty coarse, indicating poor material quality or a defect in the metal treatment. The store told me -literally- that things break, buy new ones. They didn't help me at all. Shimano didn't even bother to answer. They don't sell that spare, but you can take it from another Shimano pedal or buy the cheapest ones (520) for spares, they are exactly identical, it's a bit tricky to replace, but you don't need special tools, there's a video explaining the procedure on youtube. Shimano quality is not what it was, it's not only their infamous cranks... They don't adapt to new technologies and standards either. These pedals still use cone bearings! In 2023, just ridiculous. Once you get some dirt inside, the cones get scratched and the whole thing has to go in the bin. I recommend XPEDO CXR instead. They are cheaper, lighter, SPD compatible (you can use the same cleats if you rent a bicycle with shimano pedals) and they are more reliable. They also have 3 ball bearings on each pedal. Easier to service and if one gets damaged you just put a new one in and pedals will be like new. On top of that, you can use them to do the hack with Favero Assioma pedals.
Totally agree with you. super frustrating that shimano doesn't sell spare parts for so many of their products. At least today there are other options as you mentioned. maybe if more people chose the other options shimano might decide to change course one day.
@@zoubtube Shimano is close to a monopoly in some parts of the world, they don't give too many f*cks... I'm glad to see there's new options out there. SRAM is way ahead of them in the game, but for instance in Australia the prices are 30-40% more than in Europe.. offensive. No wonder why you see 95% Shimano here. Roadies are also pretty conservative people, it took 20 years for disc brakes to be mainstream on the road and there's still a lot of people refusing to use them..
@@hptator WOW! 30-40% more?? that's absolutely obscene. I knew lb for lb prices in Australia we generally higher than the US, for instance, but that kind of percentage hike is criminal. As you mentioned, at least there are options! 👍

Nice video! For those wondering: Those are 3/32nds bearings.
Thanks for this vid!
yup, Y41N98030 is the spare part number for xtr 9100's bearings
Brilliant explanation and handy tutorial. Thanks for sharing!

@@zoubtube Thanks for the blessing and thanks for the in depth tutorials for when I need to do it right
Thanks. This was very helpful!

Should you put crowfoot wrench at 90-degree angle?

Why does my xtr pedels don’t have that spacer, (we have the same model)
