Actually, more like, it was so loose that a pedal essentially fell off its spindle while riding. <BR/><BR/>I dunno. Those cheapo MKS Sylvan pedals seem every bit as good as the TA ones, they honestly do. I know everyone is like dude, TAs are the _ne plus ultra_ of pedaldom, but I just don't see it.Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016373487910801383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1161967381358175732006-10-27T12:43:00.000-04:002006-10-27T12:43:00.000-04:00Park Tool also has pin spanners.

Their SPA-2 fits the dust caps on older TA cranks and maybe the pedals too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1161965772296315612006-10-27T12:16:00.000-04:002006-10-27T12:16:00.000-04:00I'll try to get some of those TA wrenches.

The bearings on one pedal need adjusting, and I can't see an easy way to get the cap off without damaging it (using an adjustable wrench or similar).<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts gratefully received. Keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
