Here's some bad press for the
Fookers- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BoEZWUh9Nw
This guy's pretty upset about them. I'm using the metal versions, they
don't look as cool as the Race Face pedals. I still love them, but I know I
shouldn't.

Yup, plus one on Spencer's experience. Every V.P. pedal I've had has
developed problems. I've only had two types, 1 set of Harriers, and 2 of
the 001s, all rubbish. I'm on to Fookers, which are overpinned as all heck,
but my feet aren't slipping or making unfunny noises and shaking anymore.
Hi John,
I rebuild a set last year, you just need a socket that will fit down in
there to get that nut off...one side is threads reversed, If I remember
correctly. Then with a pick or fat screw, get the old bearing out..
In hind sight, if I had to do it again, I would toss the pedals in the
I did see that, thank you.
I think there are some differences between those two pedals...but I can
make some assumptions based on the video about how the 001 should go back
together...would just rather have a definitive how-to

There used to be a video on the VP website, but it's not there anymore.
There is only a video for the Harrier rebuild.

I didn't watch it, and you probably already found it, but if not, maybe
that's helpful.

On Friday,
Hello
Looking for some assistance re: VP-001 rebuilding
I've managed to find a VP-001 rebuild kit, but can't seem to find any info
online about how to go about rebuilding them.
Does anyone have info regarding that?
I've managed to take apart the offending pedal (the right one) and
I did email Rivendell as I did not see the VP 001 rebuild kits listed but
the other Spencer looked for me and found a few kits in stock. The rebuild
is pretty straightforward and it just involved finding the right socket and
pick to get the bushings out. The bearings are a sealed design. Easy
I have no idea if this helps or not, I take any pedal I buy apart upon
install and liberally apply grease in the axle. Enough that it oozes out
when it's back together. Knock on a Gorillas tree, everything has worked
perfectly.
Some brands have very little grease from the factory.
OH!!! hey, Thanks Matt. I did not see them on the website, I will email and
order a kit.

I just called and ordered a rebuild kit for my VP-001's from Riv last week.
They had 4 in stock when I called.
I had the same click. Attempted to take them apart and stripped out the
nut. Right side is reverse threaded. I learned the hard way. Look into it
more than i did.

I found VP's bearings to be disposable, wearing out on my every 14-60 days.
MKS cone pedals: 6 months. MKS sealed bearing pedals: several pair still
going several years in. Keep in mind, I'm an ogre.
With abandon,
Patrick

Last time I tried to deal with this, the bike shop told me to pull them
apart and figure out what bearing I needed and they'd order it from wheels
manufacturing.
I didn't have the tool to take the bearings out of the 001 (a 4 or 5 mm
punch if I recall), and the rebuild kit cost as much as a
13 matches
