Hi Does anyone know how to service Time road pedals the ones that do not have the screw out end cover

The ones in question are the RXS type (the cheaper ones have the removable end cap which I have serviced)

I looked on Google and You tube but to no real info as to how they come apart.

Years ago they had a cir clip holding the pedal body onto the axle but that is no longer the case.

Thanks in advance

Paul.

    May I ask why you feel the need to "service" them? Are they broke? If they were supposed to be serviced you would be able to get in them without a big hammer.
    I don't believe I've ever "serviced" a pedal. Except washing the crud off and squirting a drop or two of oil on exterior moving parts. Ran a set of DA 7800's for years without "service" and never a problem. Only reason they are not still on my bike is, well, I just had to have the newer carbon ones.

    In any case I see that you have two choices here.
    1.) Don't fix it if it ain't broke.
    2.) Fix it until it's broke.
  • They are on my sons bike and have been used for a couple of years in all weathers and all winter, we live near the coast and suffer from salt air as well as road salt, so the pedals are starting to feel rough and could benefit from a clean and re lube of the internals to extend their life.
