[N8 v2.0]

Ok, as DNA said, I was swapping one set of vintage '01 steel EggBeaters between my two bikes using a pair of channel locks as a pedal wrench. So, I finally ordered up a new pair of pedals for my Racer X....

Twin Ti's...

 

[w00dy]

another drop in the bucket, how much have you put into that bike at this point?

 

[N8 v2.0]

unlike frames... pedals are for life.

 

[Westy]

I wear out/break several pairs of pedals a year.

 

[Transcend]

Seriously, I go through 3 pairs of pedals a season.

We do have an abundance of sharp pointy rocks that do not budge when you hit them.

3 pairs? Really? I've got a pair of old school Ritchley Logics that I have had for around 6 years and a set of flats that I've had for a year and a half. They are beat to hell but they still work fine, the bearings aren't dead yet.

3 pairs per year seems high... You all must ride in really rocky conditions or put a hell of a lot of miles on them.

Lots of rocks, lots of miles, and a sub 14" BB.

If it wasn't for that, i'd probably need to replace springs once a year at least anyways.

wow, nice ninja posting....

yeah i couldnt survive with a sub-14" bb...

 

[N8 v2.0]

Not me.

I've had my first pair of Eggies since 2001. I rebuilt them this year for the first time.

 

[Slugman]

When I lived in the northeast - a pair a year.

Now in Southern California - same ones that I got before I left the NE 3 years ago.

 

[Westy]

I have to rebuild my eggies every few months then at some point a rock will break them or the spring gets so loose they get tossed. I have them on 3 bikes so each bike gets a new pair once a year or so.

I wear cleats out quickly too. On occasion I can find the cheap eggbeaters for only a little bit more than a new set of cleats costs.

don't you have to use an allen wrench for crank bros pedals? you shouldn't be allowed near bikes with tools...

I could have used an allen wrench... but that takes too long duh.....

 

[loco-gringo]

My time atacs committed suicide because of feelings of inadequacy.

I won a pair of those in a raffle and promptly traded them for some body armor. I already had a pair of the cheap cromo ones I bought for fifty bucks. Twinti eggbeaters are pointless, kind of like your blinged-out SS.

Freedom hater.



I will reiterate Slugman and N8's comments: my 2001 EB are still going strong. Thankfully there aren't too many sharp and pointy rocks that my pedals come into contact with.

Ah... but that's the point of it....

 

[loco-gringo]

Thanks for reminding me to pack my pedals.

6pm. Cameron Park. You still have time to make it.


Edit -- speaking of pedals. Are you getting rid of your z-controls?

I might. That is what I am taking with me this week though. I'll let you know in a week.

edit - I am packing and it's my anniversary.

Yeah, but you actually ride...

 

[robdamanii]

I'm disappointed N8. No 4ti?

 

[Wumpus]

it's my anniversary.

You always have an excuse.

Agreed, I am 3 pedals deep on the dh bike and 2 pedals on the XC.
