Member  34 |  Subject: Speedplay Pedal QuestionI have a question for those who use Speedplay pedals. How often do you grease the bearings? Also, one of the screws for the grease ports has been stripped, is there any way to fix it? |

Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: Speedplay Pedal Question Yes, you should be. There is a port on the outer part of the pedal under the little grommet thing. Speedplay makes a specific grease gun that works with it. You should be doing it every year or so. |

Regular 89 lowell | Subject: RE: Speedplay Pedal Question I'd suggest greasing them annually. I was on a charity ride a couple weeks ago, and a friend of mine had his speed play just fall apart while riding. The spindle separated from the bearing race and the 'lollipop' just stuck on his cleat. This WAS after 5 years of riding on them with no maintenance. FWIW... |

Master 1728 portland, or | Subject: RE: Speedplay Pedal Question At least once a year. Every six months if you do a lot of volume. The stripped grease port can probably be retapped. Speedplay's can be completely rebuilt if necessary. scott |

Member 180 Kayak Point, WA | Subject: RE: Speedplay Pedal Question I am going to assume you are talking about Speedplay Zero's? I have a pair of Frogs that I rode on my Mt bike for at least 10 years without greasing (they were TI shafts) and I took them apart and greased them recently (they looked fine, but my MT bike doesn't get lots of miles). |

| Nor*Cal | Subject: RE: Speedplay Pedal Question A simple test I use is to spin the pedal. If the pedal spins to easily, it's time to put some grease in. -ak- |

| Member 17 | Subject: RE: Speedplay Pedal Question They recommend lubing the spring and cleat every couple rides so you can get in and out of the pedals easily. Greasing is only recommended every 2,000 miles or 3 months. |
