To ensure their proper functioning and longevity, clean the pedals after each muddy ride by rinsing the mechanism with clear water to prevent the accumulation of dirt and sand in the engagement system.
Avoid high-pressure jets directed directly at the pedal: water pressure can force moisture infiltration through the seals and reach the bearings, accelerating their wear and corrosion.
Regularly check the condition of your cleats (wear, play, cracks) and replace them when they show signs of advanced wear. Periodically check for the absence of play in the axle by holding the pedal and testing lateral movement — excessive play indicates bearing wear.
