I have been having problems with my Speedplay Zeros in the last few weeks. The non drive side pedal seased up and stopped spinning altogether. I do greese them every 2 months or so but it took a lot of greese to get it back working again. It was fine for the last few rides but as I had ordered the replacement bearings and decided to put them in this evening. All was going well till i discovered that the problem was actually that the needle bearings were busted altogether. They literally fell out when I removed the main body of the pedal.
I have ordered the replacement Needle bearing (HK1010) but I was wondering if I would do any damage to the pedal tomorrow on my sunday spin? Everything is well greesed and spinning ok.
What are your thoughts?
Paul
