Title: DX Pedal Axle
Post by: Chilli Rinse on February 16, 2019, 05:13 PM: Can you get new spare axles for Shimano DX pedals from anywhere?

Post by: CustardLips on February 16, 2019, 05:32 PM: Yes... cheap DX style pedals off ebay usually do the trick. :daumenhoch:

You just got to swop over the dust seal on the original DX spindles .
These are 1/2 as the 9/16 go for more money
Cheap set ..

Post by: Chilli Rinse on February 23, 2019, 12:59 PM: I missed out on the pd mx15 pedals in the link provided because I hadn’t actually bought the DX’s at that point. Now I have them there are no cheap Shimano’s for sale. Will the axles from these work? If not I’ll put a request up in the wanted section soon.

Post by: CustardLips on February 23, 2019, 02:08 PM: What size axles do you need ?
Title: Re: DX Pedal Axle
Post by: Chilli Rinse on February 23, 2019, 02:24 PM: 1/2 would be perfect.
Title: Re: DX Pedal Axle
Post by: CustardLips on February 23, 2019, 02:41 PM: The SR pedals you posted probably won't fit and no need to fork out silly money for other Shimano pedals. "nono"
These should work fine...

I got a set of DX with 1/2 spindles but need 9/16 .
If you want you could post them off to me and I will swop them out and service them too.
Only thing when you swop out the spindles is the plastic cap DX caps sometimes get damaged when removing.
I have just bought some DX end caps , you can have these £15 to cover 9/16 spindles are worth a bit more than the 1/2.
What colour are you planning on doing ?
Have a look at my thread as I done a set of DX they look like new..
Gold

Thanks for the link. I’ve ordered them today before they sold out! I’ll probably swap out both sides, makes sense.
