There is loads of "survivor" XC2s to be had, which restore a piece of pee with new cages, which are readily available.

edit; getting 9/16 may be tricky, though I DID have some, but sold em. :'(

Post by: OrgasmDonor on January 16, 2007, 04:30 PM: If they goin on a rider dude use em, they are great pedals, i ve got them on most of my builds simply because i build all my bikes to look the part and be up to the job in hand and i dont like platform pedals, if you like em use em, they wont let you down.
