Maillard CXC
 

Hey guys,

I am having difficulty sourcing the toe clips that come with these pedals. They are as you can see different in that they have one single bar to attach them to the pedal. Does anyone know where I might track these down?

Thanks.

Keep watching out for them at eBay, specially from French sellers. These 80's pedals came with many Peugeots from the mid 80's, including my PSV.
Lots of them were taken off the bikes by their owners when the first clipless pedals (by Look) became the rave.......including me....so many of these pedals and clips, most of them with very few miles on them, fell into "junk" drawers in garages never to see daylight again till someone decides to dig them out to sell at eBay. You might not find the clips by themselves being sold but have to buy the whole pedal with clips if you do finally find them. Go for it, because you can use the pedals for spares, lest they become really impossible to find in the future.
Keep up the search and you will eventually find them.

If you can't source them from eBay, just buy a pair of plastic clips, trim off the bottom, and drill a couple holes for the mounting bolts:

I have that exact pair. I would be willing to trade for something similar to this- http://www.flickr.com/photos/retro-r...n/photostream/

Im looking for a pedal with more of a platform and less of a ridge for slotted cleats.

PM if interested

Man... I was gonna start a thread exactly like this today, too.
I just wanna know how the freaking dustcaps come off them, mine have no grease in them and I want to fix that.

I remember trying to figure that out too, back when I had them. Looks like you might need a special wrench from Malliard, but these were considered pretty cheap pedals and like other pedals of it's ilk, (Ofmega CXs come to mind,) they're pretty much throw away components after they wear out, because if you do get to remove things like bearing caps on them, they don't seem to stay put anymore afterwards, plus many of the parts are irreplacable because they are riveted or swaged in place permanently, so when they are worn out, the whole pedal is useless. Personally, I'd uprate to a classic MKS track type compact pedal instead, like my brother did back then. Those pedals were so well built and designed that he actually remounted them on his late 80's Cannondale when he got it back on the road a couple of years ago.

Ah, ok. I hate to do it, though. They're actually really attractive pedals. Kinda heavy, though.
I was gonna replace them with MKS GR-9's on the tandem they came off of, anyways. Maybe just keep them around for another project somewhere down the line.

Which ones? The OP's Maillard pedals, or the Ofmega Sintesis (aka "Avocet mod. III") I posted?

The Sintesis have a set screw in the middle of the cap. Drive it IN with a 3mm Allen wrench and it will push the cap off. Service the pedal, back off the set screw and pop the cap back into place. It's just a press fit; no threads.

The Lyotard mod. 23s still have a ridge for a slotted cleat; if you ride with soft soled shoes it may bother you. White Industries recently introduced a copy of the mod. 23 using sealed bearings and lacking this ridge, but it ain't cheap:

^ Awesome pedals but $235?!?

I was talking about the Maillard CxC's. They have a solid, tightly sealed, steel dome dustcap. If it were the Sintesis pedals you mention I wouldn't even ask.

That's just rust pitting on those caps.

Some of the later production Maillard pedals had "no user servicable parts inside." I suspect this is one such model.

I only found one spare toe clip, if thats any help?

Make that two of us. My girlfriend's bike has a pair of these pedals on it and the left one is in dire need of an overhaul.

If anyone can figure out a non-destructive method of getting the dustcap off, PLEASE DO TELL!

I had another model of Maillard late production pedals that had no obvious means of removing the dustcap. I tried to service one of them and managed to remove the cap, but even with the cap removed there was no means of servicing the bearings. I suspect you will have to replace the pedals if the bearings are not acceptable.

It's French! What does everyone expect??!:rolleyes: That's why it's "fun" dealing with French bikes and components. It's always a mystery what they were thinking when they were "on the boards" designing this stuff!:D
As I mentiond before, these CXC pedals from Malliard are "disposable" pedals that you use and replace when worn out. "Non-user servicable parts" is a good way to put it.
