maintenance
Very little maintenance is required with Quattro pedals. In
normal conditions, the bearings are waterproof and all materials
are rust-resistant. There is no need to lubricate the exterior
of the pedal. The pedals are generally self-cleaning in most
cases. You should occasionally inspect your pedals for damage,
wear, or excessive play. The pedal is sealed, and both cartridge
ball bearings inside are sealed. Do not use pressurized water
on the Quattro.
Cleats:
Eventually the cleats and cleat platforms will wear out and
need to be replaced. Inspect the cleats regularly and look
for signs of wear. If you are inadvertently pulling out of
the pedals (without twisting), then there is a good chance
that the cleats are worn out. Another sign of wear is a feeling
that the pedal is sloppy. The cleats are made of a material
which is softer than the pedal body bars. This is on purpose
so that the cleats wear rather than the pedal. Cleats generally
last about 500 hours of riding, depending on style of riding,
and riding conditions. The cleat bases should last as long
as the cleats, if you minimize walking on them.
