Can anyone recommend a thread lock to hold the pins in on my dmr vault pedals?

i would not. just do them up tight but if you have to some Loctite 248"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I bought some of this recently, when my last tube of threadlock ran out:

It's great - it's like a glue stick, and easier to apply exactly how much you want (and where you want it) than a liquid threadlock.
Whatever you buy, make sure it's medium strength stuff (usually blue) designed to be undoable with hand tools.0 -
If your pedal pins are coming loose something is wrong. If you really need it use Loctite 248.
Just don't expect to remove them without a fight when you want to replace them.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
Especially if they're the grub screw tiny allen key type and have had a rock strike or two... Fine if they're the screw through type.0

Used this when one of my pivot bolts worked its way loose - very easy to use,not messy. Bolt has not budged in 5 months.0
