Pedals! I love the idea of rebuidable parts, and have done a load of pedals, but some of the later model Japanese/Taiwanese jobs are designed to frustrate even the most patient of us. I find the old French stuff to be a lot more forgiving (if crude) than these devious things with tiny little loose bearings delicately balanced on tiny cones buried deep in the body that you can't get any wrench on...rebuildable my A*S! I have spent hours trying to save some of those from the landfill, a thankless and unrewarding task. But now I have a new technique: I came across an old school kit from Morningstar (make the Freewheel Buddy) that gives you a couple of of small self-tapping SS screws and directions to drill a small hole in the pedal body, give it a little countersink, and drill another small hole in the dustcap. Dah ya go: a grease-injection port like the Grease Guard and WTB of old. You pump a wad of grease through a (adjusted and locked) pedal, and the old grease and dirt is pushed out, then you plug the hole with the screw and maybe a little o-ring if you're fussy. Get it adjusted once, or leave it adjusted if it's good, and you never have to open it up again. I think the kit can be recreated from any good hardware store's stock. You might not want to do this to a Campy pedal, but for anything in the "rider" category, it could cut down on solid waste and a lot of swearing.
