  1. I just found out today. Because its not - my pedal is. D'oh!

    Yeah, I killed one of my ATAC bearings. The end cap started to pull off too, so the spindle was
    moving in and out a few mm too - ick. I tightened that back up, but the bearings are rough, nasty,
    and squeaky.

    I can get the bearings, no problem. How hard is it to take them off the spindle though?

    Looks like I might be buying some Frogs soon and using the times for road/backup pedals.

    Jon Bond they creak anyway from cracked plastic parts.

    Ah, the humble PD636. All metal (except the dust caps) and I can take them down to every part, clean
    them, put them back together and rock.

    IIRC, some of the ATACs called for a special tool. Then again, the bearings were so good, nobody
    ever came to me to replace them so I don't know for certain.
