I've had 2 CB pedals come off the spindle like that. Pretty obvious cause and simple fix....loctite (blue) on the nut at the end of the spindle. Also pull the dust cap every once in a while and make sure it's tight.
That's how I've rolled for the past 15 years, but its so much easier and precise with a truing stand.
One would think 3 month old pedals wouldnt require full maintenance activity and be considered shoddy maintenance.
Shoddy maintenance practices aren't CB's problem. Since you're riding so "consistently", one might expect you would also be "consistently" looking after your equipment.
Did your pedals fall off?
I’m sure he maintains his stuff.
Yea but your 3mo is like the average rider's 5yr, trail hero.One would think 3 month old pedals wouldnt require full maintenance activity and be considered shoddy maintenance.
Somehow no, despite being an ancient pair of codas.
Wow this forum is running hot today. Simple question and everyone’s got a smart ass reply.welcome to RM where everyone knows everything.
To be fair, I started with a simple, helpful and non-sarcastic response
But probably doesn't ride consistently.I’m sure he maintains his stuff.
Like knowing to expect jackass comments?

Not if you have lose end caps like some front hubs had/have (e.g. Tune). This is why I went to the effort and made me an universal adapter (and one for RMSS).
Just wondering: did you not feel them getting excessive side-to-side play before they fully came off?
Why the hell would anyone make a hub with loose cones like that?
I used them once. I had a pedal strike eject one on a rocky trail. That was too many times for me; same as Time pedals.
Or notice all the creaking noise they were probably making prior to departure.
that would be me....
but at what zone, my bro
The zone where I don't make my ticker explode 3 days after my first covid vaccine dose. I think my max bpm was 125.
Eastern Standard.
fair enough. I look for set and forget pedals frankly... maybe look at them once a year or so.

In seriousness, that ought to be good enough. I rode 2700 miles last year, without a single pedal failure. Once a year, the bikes all get a tear down. Proper torque and loctite should be all you need. Replace the lock nuts every time you take off the pedal. Nylon insert lock nuts are not supposed to be reused and they cost maybe 25 cents. Where I work, reusing a lock nut would get you unpaid time off.
hUrR dUrR sAm HiLlyou people and your silly clipless pedals...
I'M HALPING!
Flats here. Have clipless, but almost never put them on. The shoes are just slowly deteriorating in the corner of the garage.you people and your silly clipless pedals...
I'M HALPING!
not a bit.
No creaking. Would that indicate something is wrong and may need inspection?
Weight savings. An earlier generation Tune King MK lost its end caps every time you removed the wheel.Why the hell would anyone make a hub with loose cones like that?
