Look Keo Blade 2 service
Two questions about servicing keo blade pedals.
Do the blades wear out? Mine are going on two years old and use the 16nm blade. I am not pulling my foot out of the pedal just yet but they doen't feel as snug as they ised to?
Can I replace the axle cartridge bearings or would I need to replace the whole axle assembly? My left pedal is spinning kind of rough. I popped the spindle out and squirted some grease into the cartridge, which hleped. But looks like I might need to replace the bearing in the not too terribly distant future. Not sure if I can get the bearing dislodged from the spindle or if need to buy a whole new axpe assemblly (about 40 bucks).
Thanks

Are the cleats also two years old? We see riders going through quite a few sets of cleats, before the pedals are an issue, frequently. Andy

I believe that Look guarantees its bearings for the life of the pedal or at least it used to. Contact the closest distributor, they should send you a new spindle with attached bearing free of charge. As for the feeling of looseness, there is no adjustment to the carbon blade. Explain this as well when you contact Look

Updated because I misremembered where I had gotten replacement axle.
