    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1980 450T gear pedal

Hey guys,

My gear pedal was replaced by the PO for some fabricated monstrosity way too big for my size 42s. I've already missed a few gear changes and the last thing I want is to lock up the back wheel whilst changing mid corner. I need to replace it, but an OEM is costing me at least ?25 with shipping. I'm half debating whether to do the latter or get some rearsets. What do you guys suggest? And if you've got rearsets, what have you got?

Many thanks,
DukeN
 
have you tried ebay, or putting an ad in the wanted section?
if you can get rearsets for that model they will be a lot more expensive than just replacing the OEM pedal.

ps. welcome to the site

Hey mate, the only bolt on rear sets I'm aware of are Raask ones and they're going to set you back way more than 25 pounds!

I'd just go the OEM replacement or score one off eBay if you can like Agemax says.

I semi-fixed mine by replacing the heim joints with ones from a hobby store, but I really need to re-sleeve the pivot as it's flogged out and I occasionally miss a gear hear and there too.
