I wish I was going with the pedals to Hawaii!! Leah, I had the same thing happen to a One Up pedal and had to open it up to grease it. I found very little grease in mine. So, maybe have your LBS add grease to the pedals as a precautionary measure? Nothing worse that a mechanical issue many miles into a ride. Doug
