A good product sabotaged by its maker!

On: 2006-09-25

The good: Nice open design, tiny, rugged construction, positive clip-in and easy release. Good price if you find them on sale.

The bad: SPINDLES ARE STAKED after assembly to preclude servicing, bearings arent sealed and turn roughly for lack of retainers to space the balls.

The bottom line: DONT BUY THESE. They work okay, but after assembling and adjusting the pedals, Ritchey mangles the threads at the end of the spindle so you cant service the bearings. I bought 2 pair of these and all 4 spindles are staked, so it isnt accidental. Ritchey goes out of their way to destroy the value in this otherwise well-made and functional product. I guess they want to sell you a new pair whenever the bearings need repacking. Shame on them!
