      Some would think that after 10 years of use you might as well just buy a new pedal since it's so cheap, but what they don't know is it's much more satisfying to disassemble and fix up an old pedal, no reason to throw something away which can be just like new with a bit of work :)

  • @matthijsvanspronsen3436
    @matthijsvanspronsen3436 2 года назад +3

    Thanks for this detailed instruction. When completely disassembling the pedals, I would always replace the bearings, especially if there is dirt or rust underneath the dust cap. New bearings are relatively inexpensive, and replacement will prevent wear on the cones and cupes. I am pretty sure the bearing diameter is 1/8 inch and not 3 mm.

    One of my cheap pedals went all grindy, I didn't know they were serviceable but I didn't have a spare handy so I had a look on You Tube. It turns out the outer cone got so loose one of the bearings fell out, but the grease and dust cover caught it. It's back together now but I'll be bringing the tools on the first ride just in case.

      @@CoatsandGaiters Your video was perfect. Since it was the right pedal I could lay the bike down on the non-drive side and use it for the vise. 15 mm open end, 12 mm socket, screwdriver, long nose pliers, grease. US paraffin (kerosene) stinks so I used mineral spirits (paint thinner) for cleaning.
      Everything is tight and smooth after the first ride. My main concern was the pedal would seize and unscrew itself while riding but that didn't happen and probably won't now.
      Nothing was rusty or contaminated just loose, so I may be lazy and leave the left side alone, it isn't loose. If it ain't broke....

    A socket can be used to help extracting the cone if it is not seize by rust. Because the cone is never mean to be tightened but just fix the spindle in place to a non-wobble sitting. The washer is in place to separate the cone from spinning when you use the nut to tighten them.

    Thankyou very much, helped me out a load!
    Just a thought, with those plastic pedal bodies you could drill a hole in the center part where the shaft goes through to inject grease with a syringe so it would come out either side through the bearings to regrease them and expel some of the dirt. Then a screw into the hole you drilled to seal it up afterwards?

      @jeffhayes2288 2 года назад +1

      What your thinking about will not get all the dirt and contaminates out. It needs to be perfectly cleaned out because contaminates act as compound in the grease. Compound grinds and wears the bearings, bearing races, and cones out. Compound is gritty and acts like sand paper. You also want to completely disassemble and look at everything closely for wear, rust, separating parts, and cracks or cracking in the metal and plastic parts each time you regrease. Lastly, filling your pedals up with grease like your mentioning will add more weight to the bike.

It's just how both pedals were. And I'm the first owner. How I'm supposed to tighten it up. I even put the cone very loose and then the lock nut.

      I would put a washer in the spot between the cone and nut because it seams that the nut isn't to be locked to the cone like nuts are locked to cones on the wheel axles. I would put a washer like your saying from a hardware store if on a budget. If you want to be sure your have the right washer in regards to specs in terms of metal grade, hardness, type of metal, etcetra, I'd go to a bike store. It's still cheap, maybe a few cents to a dollar more per washer at a bike store.

    Good information, very good for old peddles that need repair. However, I have 16,000 miles on my peddles and have never needed to take them apart. Starting when new I pop off the dust cap and I pack them full of grease until it goes all the way through and comes out the threaded end. This method lasts for thousands of miles and keeps the water and dirt out. Messy, but worth it. No tools required. This does take some time to do. I use my thumb to squeeze the grease in. This dust cap can also be used to push the grease in. Doing it this way the balls never run dry and so never wear out, never need adjusting. Best to wrap the peddle with paper towel to keep it from getting grease on it, as this is messy to clean up after. I do this on all my peddles and have had very good luck with it.

    You really shouldn't be using magnets to hold ball bearings in place. It will magnetize them and make them act weird in the bearing grooves.

In the video it takes me a few attempts to get things just right. Trial and error a bit.

I got some mechanical sound so I have to take it apart again. Also one side was empty with ball-bearings so I have to count them on the other side. I got it to 14 but when I watched a little closer I saw it was room for another or?. Does anybody know if there should be more? Should you leave room like 2-3mm as a gap between them from the nr 1 through tha last one? One more Q. A new paddle can rotate like forever it seems but when you do this/ou service it doesnt.

      Maybe different pedals have different bearings counts. All pedals might not have the same bearing count. I don't know, I could be wrong. When I've done lots of wheel, crank, and pedal bearings, I've always seen a gap like another bearing could be squeezed in. I wouldn't squeeze or put another bearing in. Best to check with the manufacturer for the bearing count requirement.

    Thanks for taking the time to make such a detailed, easy to follow video, it is much appreciated and of great help.
    I just bought new flat pedals for my 2 bikes, a set of Tag T3s and a set of Race Face Chesters - What slightly concerns me is that both these sets of pedals are a little stiff; they don't spin freely on their axles. The do move round smoothly but you definitely couldn't spin them they way you do in your video. Is this normal for brand new pedals, would you say? I am assuming that once they have a bit of use they will loosen up at bit but would be interested to know what you think. Many thanks!

    • @CoatsandGaiters
      @CoatsandGaiters  2 года назад

      Thank you for the compliment. Smooth is the key I think. As long as they are smooth to rotate and not binding that's good. Spinning too freely isn't great as it means the bearings aren't making any contact with the axle so it's trying to find that happy balance. Smooth is good.

      Make sure the pedals spin as free as possible without any wobble in the axle. with what your describing, they may be over tightened, causing the cones to push too hard on the bearings which in turn push hard on the bearing races. This results in too much friction, even with new grease in them. This kind of situation results to wear.
