It was free so no loss, I think I will take them apart and see if anything indicates a problem with the spindle.
If I am lightweight rider and do not hammer at all on the pedal strokes,do you all think it is still safe to use them?..... if I don't see a problem.
Thanks, again. 3SS
Well, my girlfriend was quick with the suggestion that I was too heavy for the pedals. I weigh 91 kgs (201 US lbs) and that obviously has something to do with the stress on the pedals. Also, my riding style involves quite a lot of sudden, quick bursts of acceleration as I ride mostly in Tokyo and believe in keeping up with the traffic.
