I bought these at the weekend and fitted them to my bike on Sunday. Yesterday whilst cycling home and going over a very small hill the right one snapped right out of the crankarm ripping the thread.
Cue emergency visit to the LBS (luckily I wasn't far from Colliers Wood at the time). In ten minutes he had rebored the thread in the spiggot and fitted a decent quality metal pair of pedals to my machine.
Which cost me £20.
Yes I know you could have told me so in fact when the LBS chap asked me where I got them and how much I paid his reply was "I thought so they are absolute rubbish". He just tossed them in the bin. A fivers no great loss but I could have been.
I'll steer clear of Wilkinsons for bike stuff in the future and support my lbs and amazon of course.
