Hi Mike. If you haven't already checked on these issues in regards to the clicking, you may want to double-check that the pedal threads are well greased and securely wrenched into the crank arm. Also, the bearing cone that secures down onto the outboard bearings shouldn't be tightened too much or that will lead to friction. Just thought it'd be worth a mention Coincidentally, I just spend some quiet time yesterday morning greasing up a pair of MKS Sylvan Lite pedals for the Quickbeam, which needed some work after our rainy winter: http://tinyurl.com/3vbx7x2 If the MKS/VO pedals don't work out for you, and you have some spare change lying around (a lot of spare change), you may want to try the White Industries platform pedal. They follow a great design in the form of the Lyotard Berthet No. 23 pedals. I have the latter on my derailleur'd bike and they are a sweet pedal. You'd probably need some sort of foot retention, like the Power Grips that Riv sells. I would think those would make for a great combo. Best of luck on the pedal search, Lee SF, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
