WILL THE PEDALS HAVE A SHORT LIFE AND WEAR ARE OUT SOON DO TO ALL THE MOVING PARTS
Our pedals have been engineered and designed internally to be extremely durable and require minimal maintenance.
- Springs: Our springs are designed to endure a minimum of 1 million cycles; however, this is a conservative estimate.
- Spring Plungers: Testing has shown little to no wear after 1 million cycles.
- Sliding Puck: This puck is key to our design; it is made from one of the hardest and most anti-friction materials available. It has also shown little to no wear in 1 million cycle tests under heavy load. The puck slides back and forth between two thin, hard stainless plates without lubrication, as designed.
- Spherical Bearing: Our custom Teflon-coated bearing has exhibited little to no wear in 1 million cycle tests.
- Sleeve Axle Bearings: The pedals are equipped with high-quality, low-friction plastic sleeve bearings designed for longevity. These same bearings are found in many other top-quality pedals on the market.
- Seals: Our pedals feature four seals to help prevent dirt and moisture from entering the internal mechanism: one plate seal, two O-ring seals for the spring plungers, and one shaft seal. While these seals are extremely effective, it’s important to note that, depending on riding conditions and usage, more frequent maintenance may be advised.
