I repacked MKS sylvan touring pedals, which eliminated a host of noises, scrapes and annoyances I lived with too long on my saluki. I highly recommend buying a pedal cap wrench with the sylvan pedals (which are sensible and versatile platform pedals, and one of a decreasing number of decent pedals compatible with power grips). Have proudly mastered tightening that annoying recessed cone properly. But have created a new problem. I discovered 21 bearings in one pedal, 22 bearings in the other. Nevermind who dropped the bearing (I still believe it came that way). Does anyone know the size of these bearings(they're not one-eighth and I wonder if they might be metric?) Does it matter being a bearing short (this is a pedal after all, not a wheel hub and it certainly FEELS smooth with the new grease, a lot smoother than it was)? Should I worry at all with Sheldon's old warning that all bearings ought to be replaced at once (this is a pedal after all)?
