[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

[Drew Henson]

does pbh still provide the best guidance for sizing a roadeo? two posters 
in this thread think they should have gone a size up. 

my pbh is ~87cm. i have a MIT 58 CM AHH. That bike is perfectly sized for 
swept back bars but I found it to be a tad too long when i used drop bars. 

for my pbh, in what seems to me to be a classic riv website "nuance", they 
recommend either 59 or a 61 in the roadeo. (chart suggest 59, frame 
description says 59 or 61 depending on preferences). I'd go with a 57 if i 
were just going by stack/reach on bike insights.

[RBW] Re: Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

[Eric Marth]

Well, people. I swapped the pedals for a spare set of Lambda Grip Kings and 
I had the same click. Right pedal, dull click at three o'clock. More 
noticeable at lower speeds, seems to disappear if I'm pedaling real hard.

 If it is the pedal, make sure the pedal threads are greased or have 
 anti-seize, install a pedal washer if you don't have one installed 
 currently, and check again. 

 Next check the spindle/bearing adjustment for any play. If there's 
 play, adjust it out. If the spindle isn't adjustable, you're SOL on that 
 count.

 If the pedal cages are bolted on, drip some Tri-Flow/similar at the 
 bolt/cage interface and cage/body interface and carefully make sure the 
 bolts are tight. You want to use a good wrench and care since the bolt 
 head 
 is probably small and shallow. 

 If the cages aren't bolted on, drip some Tri-Flow/similar into the 
 space between cages and pedal body. 

 I don't know if you can just pound on the peened cage/body 
 interface---I mean nothing's stopping you from doing that,  just not sure 
 if it'd be effective, and it could cause damage and ugliness. 

 That's about all that comes to my scattered mind at the moment.

 And just so it's said

 Clicking Pedal Syndrome can bring you down some dark and scary places.

 Joking aside, what seems like a pedal click can come from many other 
 places on the bike, and may have zero relation to what you're 
 hearing/feeling from your recent pedal installation. Plenty of stories 
 here 
 if you do a search. Folks have found "pedal clicks" to be seatposts, 
 saddles, stems and/or handlebars. You swear you can feel it in the pedals, 
 but the offending tick is somewhere else entirely. And much time and agony 
 can be experienced running it down.

 Good luck!

[RBW] Re: Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

[E. Ricky Creek]

This is bad/lazy advice, but when my MKS touring pedals start clicking 
(these are the only pedals I use), I take the dust cap off and and just jam 
a bunch of grease in there. It always makes the click go away. I eventually 
overhaul them correctly, but who wants to do that instead of riding. 
Also, in my experience it is pretty easy to tell if it is the pedals just 
from riding. 
  Again, this is only my experience with these specific MKS pedals.

[RBW] Re: Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

[David Person]

I think the endcap is removable and the bearings are simple cup & cone with 
loose ball bearings that should be servicable.  Either 1/8" or 5/32" balls.

[RBW] Re: Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

[Paul Brodek]

TL; DR: First swap the pedal to make sure the issue is the pedal. If the 
clicking goes away, then you know it's the pedal. If not, you need a deep 
dive into other possibilities. 

If it is the pedal, make sure the pedal threads are greased or have 
anti-seize, install a pedal washer if you don't have one installed 
currently, and check again. 

Next check the spindle/bearing adjustment for any play. If there's play, 
adjust it out. If the spindle isn't adjustable, you're SOL on that count.

If the pedal cages are bolted on, drip some Tri-Flow/similar at the 
bolt/cage interface and cage/body interface and carefully make sure the 
bolts are tight. You want to use a good wrench and care since the bolt head 
is probably small and shallow. 

If the cages aren't bolted on, drip some Tri-Flow/similar into the space 
between cages and pedal body. 

I don't know if you can just pound on the peened cage/body interface---I 
mean nothing's stopping you from doing that,  just not sure if it'd be 
effective, and it could cause damage and ugliness. 

That's about all that comes to my scattered mind at the moment.

And just so it's said

Clicking Pedal Syndrome can bring you down some dark and scary places.

Joking aside, what seems like a pedal click can come from many other places 
on the bike, and may have zero relation to what you're hearing/feeling from 
your recent pedal installation. Plenty of stories here if you do a search. 
Folks have found "pedal clicks" to be seatposts, saddles, stems and/or 
handlebars. You swear you can feel it in the pedals, but the offending tick 
is somewhere else entirely. And much time and agony can be experienced 
running it down.

Good luck!

[RBW] Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

[Eric Marth]

I just installed a pair of MKS bear trap pedals and have put about 150 
miles on them. The right pedal just started clicking. I can feel a dull 
click when the pedal gets to the three o'clock position. 

Any ideas for remedies? 

Thanks!
