Picked up four sets of my fave old Look delta pedals and they are a little worse for wear. I would like to get these refurbished but can't find anyone who specialises in this work. Anyone know of any such company/place? thanks

    If it's just the bearings, then go to your local bearing dealer and fit them yourself. They are a fairly standard size
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.

    No the bearings are fine, it's the body and paint etc.

    Do it yourself. Assuming you are careful enough that you aren't just going to scuff them up again in which case don't bother, you should be fine with car body filler (Isopon etc) to fill gouges, wet and dry to smooth all down and a careful blow over with matt black or satin black car spray. It shouldn't be hard to get them looking nice on the bike even if close to they aren't perfect.

    yeah could do, as you say they do have gouges and paint missing, seems the only thing to do, seeing as there doesn't seem to be anyone who does this professionally, thanks ...

    Shouldn't take very long - I find that sort of thing quite satisfying.

    Maybe you could get them stripped down, and powder coated. I have a few sets of them myself, if you need any bits.
    .. who said that, internet forum people ?

    thanks for the offer rockmount, the pedals function fine, the bearings are good it's just they've seen better days if you see what i mean.

    I still use the Look delta pedals and don't see any reason to change to Keos yet so I wanted to try and make these last you see .....

    Yeah .... I know what you mean. I also have a pair of Ritchey pro Peletons, same cleats. The only thing I don't like about the Deltas is they can be a bit slippy on the bottoms when you're trying to get in. Other than that they are top class..

    Never had that must admit. Always found them fine have to say. Reluctant to change as I say ....
