Having problems with my shimano pedals. just been out for a gentle recovery ride with the Mrs after slogging round the Colne valley mtb challenge this morning, and my left pedal started locking up - stops rotating so it drags my foot forward. it appears to have grease showing where as the other pedal is dry.
I plan to take it into the LBS next week but wondered if anyone could throw any light on the problem.

Collapsed bearing I reckon.0

I'm guessing your pedals don't have cartride bearings, but loose ones ?
Sounds like the bearing cone has tightened itself and crushed everything.
So I doubt new bearings will fix this.
Pedals with cartridge bearings are really worth the extra money - they experience a higher load than anything else on the bike...XT or XTR, a very worthwhile upgrade.0
