Howdy folks. The mechanism on my fiance's pedals Shimano 515 pedals
is hanging up and making it really difficult to clip in and out. Its
only happening on the right pedal, but it occurs on both sides.
The problem goes like this:
Freshly lubed & adjusted pedal clips in fine the first time.
When unclipping, the catch on the rear of the pedal (the part that
moves, allowing release) hangs up on the "baseplate" (the part the
majority of the bottom of the cleat contacts, held to the pedal body
by 2 screws) and won't return. I tried cleaning/lubing and that
didn't fix it. Will higher tension force the mechanism closed?
She likes really light tension, but she's pretty cheap too, so if that
will fix it she'll get over tighter clips. Can I take a file to the
underside of the mechanism or the top/back of the baseplate to improve
clearance?
Thanks in advance.
