Thanks, Nathan. Whatever the cause, I'm glad you've solved the problem. I know that the cheap Sylvans and GR-9s, and I daresay other cheap MKS models, are notorious when new for their tight, dry bearings -- the cheap and easy solution to which is, to dribble thick and/or clingy oil -- Phil is excellent; I use chain saw oil -- down the axle and then to ride them smooth. At least, that has always worked for me, and has worked fine for my present pair of the wonderfully nice but very oddly named MKS Esprit pedals.
