*User error: I should have rebuilt the pedals with new bearings before I destroyed the pedal shaft. But it's the rain bike, used mostly in the dark in the winter, and it was always easier just to hustle into the dry house or office without messing around with the pedals -- until they got so bad I noticed anyway.

The demise of frogs is what has me looking as well.
To be honest, it was always a bit of a love-hate relationship with the frogs. I love the function above all others, but the durability was pretty bad, and cost of ownership was really, really high. I’ve been using them for over two decades, but I think it’s really just inertia that has kept me going for the past 10 years.
So this may be a blessing in disguise, pushing me to a more sustainable alternative.
