Pedal "coming off" Trauma

[plastic_cyclist]

Hi, does anyone know if there is an easy fix to this.....a pedal has completely come off the shaft on my CX...

god knows how!!

Its broken.

I suspect the end cap has removed and the nut that secures the race has come off so you have probably lost your balls (excuse me). Might be possible to rebuild.

It looks like old Shimano or a copy thereof. Either the spindle has broken at the end or the lock-nuts have undone themselves. If you have access to the tool that fits the knurled fitting you could investigate, but it's likely got damaged bearings.

With the greatest respect getting a serious injury is a trauma, broken pedal, nah, buy another pair.

Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years ago with a Shimano SPD-L. Fortunately I'd just set off and was only round the corner from home.

I had that several times with (original) Eggbeaters.

It was that the small sealed bearing on the end of the axle had failed and come apart. I got as far as carrying a spare bearing and small 8 mm socket screwdriver bit in my toolkit so I could mend the pedal, rather than having to ride home one-legged.
