Hi guys.

So I crashed out a couple of weeks ago and this happened:

Any idea if this can be fixed? Thanks,

Ryan.

    Could you not prise the whole peice off to straighten it. Then use an epoxy to glue it on?

    Hope your crash wasn't too bad mate, I probably would leave it if you can clip in and out ok? looks to be an anti wear plate? Saying that I had an off a while back, and have transferred the pedals to the new bike, really scraped up so am flashing over with some hammerite to freshen them up a bit, but thats just me :)

    Take pedal off bike, clean all the grit out from underneath the plate, clean the scuffed-up plastic off the edge with a knife, put the pedal on a block of wood or similar to support it, then bang the plate back flat with a hammer

    That's unlikely to work as the pedal body will prevent the plate being hammered back to its original position, it will just keep popping back up. If you can't remove the plate to straighten it and then reattach it properly then you will either have to live with if it still works or replace. Ideally find someone who is chucking a pair the same because that happened to the other pedal! :wink:

    You my be able to get the glue underneath it then C-Clamp it down tight and allow the glue to dry.

    I managed to do similar damage to one of my Look Keo Max pedals, but it was the left hand one that suffered.

    Can I buy your undamaged pedal please?
