JannievanZyl Posted December 22, 2016 Share This is my second set of XTR pedals that broke like this. Pretty much the end of your ride when this happens. Not very confidence inspiring. Anyone else seeing this on these pedals and can it be repaired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 22, 2016 Share Being shimano, it probably won't be repairable without some serious bodging. Most pros, at least cx, seem to prefer XT.There must be a reason for this. Pieterlab1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted December 22, 2016 Share Most of the time shimanos are bombproof. The saints have the same issues(axle breaking off) but the xtr's and xt's are flawless IMO Contact the place you bought them at I'm dead sure can you can still claim a new set through warranty. Good luck . Let us know what happend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knersboy Posted December 22, 2016 Share My trusty old 520s are probably the most bang for my buck bike part I have ever bought. Smash them in rocks all the time, never fail. Serviced them once in the last 3 years. Excite_Bike, AdamA and breaker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to get them unless you want to save grams in the last place you should. And even then replace them at least every 6 months. Cos they're a race pedal.

PeterF Posted December 23, 2016 Share Been using the same set of XT pedals for 4 years now and no problems. Serviced them maybe twice and still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usxorf Posted December 23, 2016 Share I've also had a set of m980's do this. XT's are bomb proof, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony datoy Posted December 23, 2016 Share I saw an XTR crank arm that snapped just above where it bolts onto the shaft. Fairly new, under 6 months old, lady rider. I couldn't believe how thin the side walls of the casting was obviously to save on weight. Could result in a nasty injury if peddling hard.

JXV Posted December 23, 2016 Share OP did the shaft actually break or did the securing bolt at the end of the shaft come loose, allowing the pedal to disassemble itself? If a loose bolt it can be fixed. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk IH8MUD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serviced them once in the last 3 years. I have been using the same set of 540 for 12 years. I have serviced them 3 times (by myself) and there still going strong Tinie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
