Product Information
Full details
This guide is for mountain bikers looking to optimize grip and customization on their DMR Vault pedals. The key benefit is enhanced traction and the ability to tailor pin placement for different riding conditions. A potential caveat is the need for a 2mm Allen wrench or 5mm spanner for installation, which is included. This set provides 44 steel flip pins, comprising 16 shorter pins for the pedal's center and 28 longer pins for the outer edges, allowing for personalized grip configuration.

Troubleshooting
Pins are difficult to thread into the pedal.
Ensure the pedal threads are clean. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound if necessary. Verify you are using the correct pin (short for center, long for edge) and are not cross-threading.
Pins feel loose after installation.
Remove the pin and re-thread, ensuring it is fully seated and tightened securely with the appropriate tool. Check for any damage to the pin or pedal threads.
Missing pins from the set.
Double-check the packaging. If pins are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer for assistance.
Worn-out pins reducing grip.
Replace worn pins with new ones from the set. For severely worn pedals, consider replacing the pedal body or seeking professional servicing.
