Ive got several sets of these. One is six months old and has had a creak and some play for half that time. I took them apart, regreased, and yeah git rid of the creak of doom, but still play. The bushing is shot on both pedals. The right one is worse than the left. The other two sets, ive had no problem with. Also have some stamp 7s and they are a different animal. Zero issues with all of thise.
There is a possibility with the pedal body to come flying out from the axle. What keeps them together is the ball bearing. Id it were to split, the body WILL come out of the axle. The play is from the bushings (they use bearing at the end of the axle and bushings towards the cranks). The bushings are from extremely low quality plastic. They develop play, start cracking. I have successfully replaced the bushings with HK1012 needle bearing and am thinking of going with HK1014 (have to order and see the clearance with the axle). Bigger body is for structural integrity because the use of a plastic fir the body. People report swapping the 10mm pins with 12mm ones and no grip issues after that. Not bad pedals if you get M3/12 bolts for pennies from a hardware store and pop 5-6 bucks for needle bearing. In their stock form.. TERRIBLE!
I ride 150 miles a week and still am on my original bushings they are fine. The pedals are 4 years old and I've serviced them ONE time, lol. The bushings are NOT low quality.
Thank you! The video made it really easy to do!
