Comp XC Pedals - Dual Sided Clipless Platform Aluminum 9/16 Red

The Comp version of Ritchey's XC pedals is a game - changer for mountain bikers. It features a fixed front claw, allowing for easy dual - sided entry. These pedals excel at shedding mud, ensuring optimal performance in tough terrains. The redesigned axle system significantly extends bearing life, and the wider body enhances stability. The pedals are made of aluminum and come in a striking red color with a 9/16' size. The smooth burnished bearing surfaces offer a seamless riding experience. The low - profile cast steel body is both stronger and lighter than competing alloy versions. The stainless steel retention claw makes entry and exit effortless and provides enough space for mud clearance. Each set includes V4 Mountain cleats and mounting hardware.

Using these Ritchey Comp XC pedals is straightforward. First, use the included mounting hardware to attach the V4 Mountain cleats to your cycling shoes. Then, simply clip your shoes onto the pedals. When you want to get off, just twist your foot to release. For the best performance, keep the pedals clean, especially after riding in muddy conditions. Use a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the pedals. Regularly check the tightness of the cleats and the axle. If you notice any unusual noise or looseness, it's a good idea to take the pedals to a professional bike mechanic for inspection and maintenance.
