Mezzo pedals...
The "stomp" branded pedals on my Mezzo are starting to get a bit loose/gritty, so took into repair shop. View was that the bearings in each of them are shot. 9 months into the bike's life this isn't great news - though the guys in the shop said that folding pedals tend toward this sort of problem because the bearing is close to the crank, whereas a lot of the pressure is on the outside half of the pedals. Options are to get some new pedals on the warranty (for no cash, but I guess they'll wear out in another 9 months) or - what the guys in the shop recommended - swap them out for some removable pedals - along the lines of the ones on higher end Dahons - like the MuSL - which do look more hardwearing, if less convenient (I'd probably have to pop the pedal on and off the bike at least twice a day). Any views on pros and cons?
