maintenance
Very little maintenance is required with Smarty and Egg Beater
MXR pedals. In normal conditions, the bearings are waterproof
and all materials are rust-resistant. There is no need to
lubricate the exterior of the pedal. The pedals are generally
self-cleaning and in most cases, dried mud and dirt will fall
off on their own. You should occasionally inspect your pedals
for damage, wear, or excessive play.
Cleats
Eventually the
cleats will wear out and need to be replaced. Inspect the
cleats regularly and look for signs of wear. If you are inadvertently
pulling out of the pedals (without twisting), then there is
a good chance that the cleats are worn out. Another sign of
wear is a feeling that the pedal is sloppy. The cleats are
made of a material, which is softer than the pedal body bars.
This is on purpose so that the cleats wear rather than the
pedal. Cleats generally last about 300-500 hours of riding,
depending on style of riding, and riding conditions.
