DMR V8 pedals

If they're on your everyday bike I wouldn't bother. Nice weekend bike yes.

Hi, I've got a pair of these coming today. I didnt realize you have to faff about injecting grease into them because they are not a sealed bearing.
Has anyone got a pair? if so is it a pain? and would I be best off sending them back or just getting on with it?
Thanks.

I've got V12 which may or may not be different. After 12 years they still spin nicely and I've never had to touch them. But then I've never been good at reading instructions.

Easy and doesn't take long..
Fair wreck the bottom of my cheap trainers though
BUT feet never slip off

I've had a pair for a few years now. Injected some grease in when i got them, just to make doubly sure that they had some grease in... not touched them since. Running fine. I find that sealed bearings don't run as freely as non sealed ones and would always go for the non sealed option.

V8s are brilliant. They don’t really have enough grease in them, but it will suffice. Easy to undo the grommet and inject more. They are an easy pedal to strip and service if need be.

I highly rate them. V12s are just sealed.

You should have got the vaults!!

IT IS DEAD EASY AND THEY COME WITH A LITTLE SYRINGE TO DO THE JOB - TAKES MINUTES TO DO

It's not a pain. It's easy, and needs doing infrequently. Much better than banning pedals because the inaccessible sealed bearing has failed.
