Straitline Components Platform Pedal Cutaway - Simple eh? Greg just posted up some parts diagrams of the pedals and some videos on how to pull apart, service and put back togethor your Straitline Pedals. They are a super simple design and extremely easy for you to service and clean at home. We also stock a full range of spare parts so you can rebuild your pedals and keep them running for years. All the spares are cheap too:

• Axle: $35 RRP
• Soft Rebuild Kit: $27.50 RRP (new bushings, teflon washers, frisbees, poodle clips for 1 set [2] pedals).

The bushings are rated for 1000+ hours of use, but obviously if you get mud, fine dirt etc. in there it is going to wear them out quicker. So given them a clean and service every now and then to keep them in top shape. The bushings take an absolute beating though and are a much better option than bearings for this application. Other big name companies are already following Straitline’s lead with their use. Read more! (more…)

Well the lads just got back from Austria, which they we’re obviously carving up! Shame it got cancelled due to too much rain on the day….although they kept rippin’ anyway with a bunch of others.

Good luck to Pokoj too, sounds like he had a really nasty accident.
