Kink Senec Pedals: Play

(1/4) > >>

red_spectre:
I noticed there is a few people on the board with Kink Senec pedals. I have had a set for a couple months. I am curious if you are experiencing a substantial amount of play? My pedal body clicks up and down on the spindle. The left pedal has a tolerable amount of play. I have the cone tightened so it does not spin furiously on the spindle. However, my right pedal, although tightened securely on the crank, feels as if it is completely loose when riding. I can literally hear a click when I shift my feet on the right pedal. In short, my right pedal in particular does not feel solid at all.

Gary:
I've got 3 pairs on my bikes. None of them wobble. I like Kink's design over the BFE's which my buddy had and wobbled furiously. Have you thought of trying a thicker O-ring? Or even a new pedal body , only a few bucks too see if that helps

JFax:
I have a pair and so does my buddy. We both have a small play on all our pedals, its impossible to get away from. But with small I really mean tiny, its barely noticable.

The problem you describe I think is just because you havent installed and/or maintained them properly. The fact that the axles are tighten down on the crank means nothing. Basically the axle is a screw with a nut on it that tightens the body. If the pedal is tight on the crank then the nut is fixed to the crank, but it doesnt mean that the nut is tightened down to the body. What you need to do is to slightly loosen your pedal from the crank, tighten the nut to the body, then retighten the pedal to the crank.

badlight:
Mine wobbled. I got new bodies, they came with new O rings. I doubled them up, it fixed the wobble. I haven't been able to ride them yet though, so we'll see how long it lasts.

sans.terre:
