How to Keep Your Clipless Pedals Working | Road Bike Clipless Pedals

I’m certainly no engineer, but from what I can tell the two damaged bores are located in the thinnest part of the whole body, so I’d like to see this area beefed up a touch. The pins could also have a longer insertion depth, since the current ones are quite shallow and don’t actually penetrate the entire thread of the bore. They do use a standard M4 thread pitch, so you could always replace them with longer M4 grub screws to provide more adjustability, and potentially better support for each pin as well.

I expressed that view on the forum, which is how this all began. You use them and you think they are great for reasons that you explained.  So do others, and that’s OK as well.
