Mike, You can contact Riv or VP, either one will likely take care of you pretty quickly. I have had one pedal display that during the honeymoon period with mine. I talked a bit with VP and it apparently happens, but infrequently, and when it did they made it right. I had a new set at my door

The mechanic at my LBS used a grease gun to pump grease through the pedal. Both of my pair needed it. On Jul 29, 2013 3:43 PM, "Mike On A Bike" wrote: > I was totally, madly in love with these pedals until... the damned > bearings started "clicking" on both pedals 6 months into having them. Is >

I do believe there is a version of the Thin Gripster without the flats for a pedal wrench. Don't have them myself, but have seen them on a bike in Jim Thill's shop. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Sat, Jul 27, 2013 at 9:57 AM, Dan Abelson wrote: > I have not tried the thin gripsters but I have a pa

Y'all almost have me convinced. I have an eye askance at a very nice, as-new Monocog Flight 29er at Stevie's; owner originally asking $750 and now, very plaintively, asking $300. If it's still there in a month This sort of bike will be for short distance sand hogging and grippy flats might jus
