so much for "tough as hell"

10 rides and the pedal rips off leaving the axle on the crank arm?

what a waste of $$$...my 2 year old Azonic A-Frames still run smooth so I'll use them

Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like a bearing failure. I would expect my customers to bring this kind of thing back to get a warrantyor at least let me try for warranty.

10 rides and it's that rusty? strange.... I guess it must be wet where you live.

Maybe that was just a dud set. It seems unlikely to me that they would sell any of those pedals if they all failed after 10 rides.

yeah I live in England, UK - its very wet here! the pedals were purchase in January in a sale, but I already had some 2 year old A-Frames that were tatty but running smooth. I put the Atomlab away as I was waiting to buy a new fork, front wheel and disc brake for my Big Hit. Afetr building it up in Feb, I rode the pedals on the Big Hit 8 or 9 times, including some wet sessions hence the rusting pins. the other stuff is sand left from a session at a freeride park outside London, before my cranks broke and had to go back

I put these pedals on my DMR and rode to work in my spd shoes as my Vans were wet, the cleats have scratched the top of the pedals unfortunately!

so yeah a genuine 10 rides, I was using them for this but they are supposed to be strong

2. Is there a nut attached to the end of the axle? If there is not , did you find it when the pedal body fell of?


yeah the but is still on the axle, the sealed bearing just exploded and bits fell out all over the drainage ditch I was riding through. the end cap is still screwed into the pedal body...

they have asked me to send it back to the UK Importer, they will try to fix the pedals if the inner bearing sleeve isn't damaged.
