The Ritchey Comp XC pedals are a top - notch choice for mountain biking enthusiasts. They feature a fixed front claw and dual - sided entry, which makes it super easy to clip in and out. These pedals are also excellent at shedding mud, ensuring they perform well in all kinds of messy trail conditions. The updated axle system significantly extends the bearing life, so you can count on these pedals for a long time. With a wider body, they offer enhanced stability during your rides. These pedals are dual - sided clipless with a platform, made of aluminum, and have a 9/16 - inch size in a sleek black color. The smooth burnished bearing surfaces provide a seamless pedaling experience. The low - profile cast steel body is both stronger and lighter than many competing alloy versions. The stainless steel retention claw allows for easy entry and exit and offers plenty of mud clearance. They even come with V4 Mountain cleats and mounting hardware included.
Using these Ritchey Comp XC pedals is a breeze. Just step onto the pedal and clip in using the dual - sided entry. You can easily clip out when you need to stop. When riding in muddy conditions, the pedals' mud - shedding design will keep them clean. For maintenance, regularly check the bearings. You can clean the pedals with a mild soap and water solution and dry them thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the aluminum and steel parts. Also, make sure to keep the retention claw clean to ensure smooth entry and exit. If you notice any unusual noises or reduced performance, it might be time to check the axle system and bearings. Keep the V4 Mountain cleats in good condition and replace them if they show significant wear.
