  1. Seems none of the LBS-of which there are more than 20 in my area!-stock
    replacement traction pins for bmx-type platform pedals...and several
    shops didn't even know what I was referring to!

    Anyway, I have snafu pedals that use the allen-type threaded pin, not
    the more common phillips head pin that goes all the way in flush, with
    the pin sticking out the other side. I looked at the danscomp.com.
    website, but could only find the phillips head pins. I need the allen
    head pin, where the allen "head" sticks out, and -is- the traction
    side. Anybody know where I can get at least 5-10 of them? Thanks!😄

  2. 'This' (http://www.danscomp.com/469002.php?cat=PARTS#) should do
    it...you will need the phillips head ones at the bottom of the page.

  3. i guess you could try your local hardware store or similar, they may
    have a range of different bolts there, some may suit what you're
    looking for. other than that you could try ebay.

  4. They have a unusual OD/thread. I tried all the parts stores in town and
    no one could match the thead and size. Buying slightly bigger and
    stripping them into place might work, but...

    For Snafu replacement pins Bedfordunicycles.ca is one place I know of.

    At least that's what I could gather from the website. It *appears* that
    they don't have the allen-head style that will fit snafu; I plan to
    call them tomorrow to find out the specifics. It really surprises me
    that the LBS's DON'T normally carry these- they seem to be a very
    common replacement item. Whatever.:o

    You're saying that they have [in stock] the actual "allen-head" type
    pin, specifially to fit the snafu sealed bearing platform pedal? If so,
    please give me the name of the shop and their phone number (with area
    code). Thanks!

  12. Good god man, they're only screws. Go to any industrial supply place
    (www.use-enco.com www.mcmaster.com www.msc.com to name a few), and
    browse through their metric fastener selection. Then, for $5, just buy
    100 of whatever screw looks right. If it's wrong, but the next size up
    or the next sixe down. Bike shops are not the places to buy screws,
    unless you want to get screwed in the proccess.

    Won't they be one of these, either the 2 or 3 mm ones.
    http://www.danscomp.com/469002.php

    I think all the pedals I have use 3mm M3 grub screws, although I know
    some pedals have smaller ones.

    NOPE! THe pins in MY snafs are the ALLEN head type! The phillips head
    goes in "flush" and thepin sticks out the OTHER side...The pins in MY
    snafs screw into the pedal, but do NOT stick out the other side- the
    end that you screw in (the allen end) only goes in to the end of the
    threads, the rest of it stays out and *IS* the pin/traction side.

    Calm down little man! You said the following: <<the silver philips
    screws in his link are the ones you want.>> *I* replied that those were
    NOT the correct pins. But thanks for the link. I had asked you for the
    PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS of *YOUR* local bike shop, that you claim
    carries them. 😄 😄 😄 😄

  20. Terry, you're killing me here. Go to the mcmaster link I provided
    earlier, and search "metric setscrews". Then go to town. Your pedals
    are not special, exotic, or new, and neither are the screws. Snafu is
    not using a proprietary thread here. The screws are 6mm long, and M3
    (get the M3 and M2.5 if you really aren't sure). If you can tie your
    shoes you can use that link. If not, you'd better get used to slippery
    pedals.
