Weird. This morning the pin was 100% loose (wouldn't retract) and the pedal wouldn't stay locked, so I assumed that the spring had broken or detached. But now, in my office, it seems to have fixed itself.
I would assume that any problems I have are due to wear and/or weather exposure. I've ridden 282 round trips commutes to work, 2392 miles, folding 3 times each trip (so 846 folds/unfolds), in almost every weather condition and temperature, road salt & slush, etc. , with very infrequent cleaning.
