Axles from Shimano SX pedals will swap, and there are no new end caps any more. 

If you're very lucky, you might recieve a PM from a member who may know someone. who knows someone, who might have some.  But only if you're very lucky.

Correct  :)


Have a punt in the Trades section for an axle swap,  otherwise you can still buy new SX pedals so thats the way to go there, do the swap and then sell the SXs as one piece fitment.

I am suprised someone with a minty setl hasn't started doing a bit of diy and churning these out. I know it's been posted before but this guy is amazing. Check out his 4.44am 03/02/07 post on how to make dx caps for a dollar.

Maybe the threat of Shimano lawsuits have prevented someone from doing just that....
