FAQs

What makes these pedals environmentally friendly?

They are produced using pressure die casting with magnesium primarily sourced from seawater. This process uses less energy than aluminum alternatives and generates minimal, recycled waste, making them a more sustainable choice.

How much do the DMR Vault Magnesium Pedals weigh?

Each pair of DMR Vault Magnesium Pedals weighs just 404 grams.

What is the platform size of the Vault Mag pedals?

The pedals feature a 105mm x 105mm platform size, offering a generous and stable contact area.

Can I replace the grip pins if they get damaged?

Yes, the grip pins are replaceable. You can purchase replacement pins and screw them in to maintain optimal grip.

What type of maintenance do the bearings require?

The pedals use sealed bearings to keep out dirt and moisture. Periodic maintenance involves removing a 6mm dust cap to clean and re-grease the bearings to ensure smooth operation and longevity.

Are these pedals suitable for a beginner rider?

Yes, the Vault Mag pedals offer excellent grip and stability, which can boost confidence for beginner riders tackling varied terrain. Their performance benefits also make them suitable for experienced riders.

What is the finish on these pedals?

The DMR Vault Magnesium Pedals come with a durable ED painted black finish.

Troubleshooting

Pedal creaking or noise

Ensure pedals are correctly tightened into the crank arms. Check that pedal threads and crank threads are clean and lightly greased. If noise persists, the internal bearings may require servicing or replacement.

Wobbly or loose pedal

The pedal axle may not be fully tightened into the crank arm or the internal bearings may be worn. Check the tightness and consider servicing the bearings if play is present.

Grip pins are not secure

Ensure the grip pins are screwed in tightly. If pins become damaged or stripped, they can be replaced individually.

Difficulty removing pedals

Ensure you are using the correct tool (15mm pedal wrench or 8mm Allen key) and applying force in the correct direction (right pedal loosens clockwise, left pedal loosens counter-clockwise). If seized, apply a penetrating lubricant and allow it to soak in before trying again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure your crank arms have standard 9/16" pedal threads.
Identify the correct pedal for each side (marked 'L' for left, 'R' for right).
Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads.
Thread the left pedal counter-clockwise into the left crank arm.
Thread the right pedal clockwise into the right crank arm.
Tighten securely using a 15mm pedal wrench or an 8mm Allen key (depending on your pedal model's wrench flats).

Compatibility:

The DMR Vault Magnesium Pedals are compatible with all standard bicycle crank arms featuring 9/16" pedal threads, which is the universal standard for modern mountain bikes.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth after rides to remove dirt and grime. Avoid high-pressure washing directly at the bearings.
Bearing Maintenance: Periodically, after removing the 6mm dust cap, clean out old grease and apply fresh waterproof grease to the bearings. This simple service will maximize the lifespan of your pedals.
Inspection: Regularly check for any signs of damage or excessive play in the bearings. Ensure pedal pins are clean and free of excessive mud for optimal grip.
