Ok, so my DFP pedals said nite nite, last night. They are over a year old, so I guess my guarantee is over.

Now, I'm thinking of buying some good pedals, I only need gass, and brake. But what should I invest in? The VPP seems veery expencive imo.


Or can I just buy a new pot to the pedals maybe? its just the brake pedal that have said good nite. In that case, what do I do?:scratchch

when you say your pedals said "goodnight" what exactly are they doing?

Logi pots do come loose and can be easly repaired . check posts 3 and 5 in this thread..

I think if you wont go for VPP etc. A new wheel with pedals is the cheapest way to get new pedals. Sad but true

Well, I think that thread might help me. I will try to do some tinkering about it the next days.

Thanks :-)

Hey BOSS, if you can't find blue tac, 2 things you can use that are much cheaper, play-dough or poly grip (it's a dental adheavsive) another trick that I used was to HOT GLUE the pot stem to the pedal arm, this way if need be I can always remove the glue (with a little heat from the glue gun) and clean things up or reset them. DO NOT CRAZY GLUE THEM. One mistake and you're pooched.

Good Luck.

Hi Boss. As soon as my ACT Labs pedals bite it, I will be grabbing a set of Advantage1 pedals. Steel construction, stainless pedals.

A couple of the guys in our club have them already and are very happy, especially for the price.:thumb:

I suppose you could always hacksaw the clutch off if it annoys you.:D
