Ideas? Servicing my 4 VP Vice pedals I get to the 4th one and this happens (dust cap sheered off 1/2 way, half of it remaining in there): -- You received this message because you are

Thanks, Tom. One question I have is what caused this? If I bashed the outer AL to deform the circular threads, then a build kit won't help. I'm guessing this is the case because it did not turn easily at all, but threads were clean. With abandon, Patrick On Saturday, December 26, 2015 at

Hum... If the outer aluminum has deformed threads and you can justify "bashing" as "crashing", you might be able to leverage VP Components "Crash Warranty". Probably worth a call (800 number on VP-USA website) and polite inquiry. If desperate, there are ways you could re-tap the threads, but

[RBW] Re: VP Vice Dust Cap Dilemma

Thanks, Tom. I'm definitely past the 1 year mark of the crash warranty, which is why I was hoping for a magic unicorn and rainbow answer here. Grin. Looks like I'll be using the pedals that came with my daughter's Clementines for a wee while (they have moccasin friendly pedals on instead).

I cleaned the basement and found some unused items which I offer for sale: 1) Shimano SPD shoes and pedals. Shoes are size 10.5 and in great condition except for frayed shoelace end on one shoe. Pedals PD-M515 are well used with many scratches. They worked well when I removed them from my

I haven't tried Big Apples. I love the Super Motos. They measure 63mm wide on a Velocity P35 rim, 58mm on a Velocity Synergy rim. On Saturday, December 26, 2015 at 6:16:17 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: > > 3" seems to be the new best thing! > > Hey Joe, how you like the Super Motos

Re: [RBW] Re: What do you consider the ideal tire width for dirt riding?

3" seems to be the new best thing! Hey Joe, how you like the Super Motos compared to Big Apples? Looking at a tandem that can *probably* only fit 2.0", so wouldn't be able to go w/ the SMs as I would prefer. Do they measure a full 60mm width? On Sat, Dec 26, 2015 at 5:11 PM, 'Mojo' via RBW

I am with Mike (and his Jones Plus). Off road tire size for me this year has been 3 inch. For on-road or light dirt I went with performance tires, the 2.3" Super Motos. https://www.facebook.com/joe.ramey.90/media_set?set=a.10208278459298399.1210921748=3 Joe 'in snowy GJT where tis the season
