What I did: Drill a tiny hole in the middle of the pedal body and shoot it full of boat trailer grease. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com. To unsubscribe

My understanding is that almost all inexpensive pedals are assembled only for ease of transport. If you just assume you have to re-pack them with grease before installation, they'll be fine for a long time. I just put VO Touring pedals on my Sam. I've only got 50 miles on them, so I can't comment

I have almost 3000 miles on a set of the VO touring pedals. I can recommend them unreservedly. They work well and are much lighter than the equivilent MKS pedal. They do seem to be a bit wide and I can drag a pedal around courners if I am not careful On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 2:41 AM, Peter Pesce
