Today I was repacking the bearings on the new old stock pedals for the Batavus. I started looking around and found a pair of older pedals they were dirty, a little rusty and needing rebuilt. The new pedals are 3 grams lighter, already clean, lots of plastic and made in China. But the old ones were made in France……no question…..got to go with the French made Lyotard Pedals, they just look right!
And those little ball bearings are sure a lot harder to pick up and work with than they were forty years ago.
I so agree! definitely go with the France pedals. No China parts!!!
