From the feedback we have from customers; the pedals can be a bit stiff when you first use them, its ideal to let them 'bed in' for a few miles and re-grease them, if you look after the pedals, grease and replace bearings every season then they will be fine.
Please be fair with the product, its a basic pair of loose ball bearing pedals, if you want something perfectly smooth you need sealed bearings, we do stock sealed bearing pedals aswell
