Anyone rebuild the HT Evo pedals?
I have a set of ME03 pedals, and the outboard bearing, not being very well sealed, wears out quickly if you aren't diligent with overly-frequent necessary rebuilding.
In search for one, I've seen kits advertised as working for "all Evo" pedals. I've seen other kits advertised as working for certain pedals (AE01, AE02), but not others.
After not being able to find the right rebuild kit stateside, I bought one from Germany (Hi-Bike). When it came, it's labeled for AE01 and AE02, and while most of it works, the outboard bushing is the wrong size (though everything else works fine).
Anyone know how to get a rebuild kit for these pedals? Or what other pedal is identical and there is a rebuild kit for?
Or better yet, maybe how to get a rebuild kit with a sealed outboard bearing instead of the semi-open design that comes stock?
I'll post bushing dimensions if need be.

What's the URL address for that website? I need to repair a set of HT's that have a crazy amount of play in them.

Which pedals do you have?
It's HiBike. Shipping anything is $25 Frown
We can't be the only people running these... What are y'all doing when you wear our bushings/bearings??

Yeah I've got the same problem. I think my DU bushings are shot. They've got this video on their facebook page on how to rebuild them... https://www.facebook.com/HTcomponents/videos/878601505492817/

Yeah, the video is nice, but they want you to but what look to be expensive tools to overhaul pedals that probably cost less than the tools. And they don't tell you where to get the tools either Frown
WTF HT...

I'm in the same boat, have ME03s and trying to find a rebuild kit.... Think I might try the "all Evo" series lot and see what happens :///

Where'd you find that rebuild kit for sale?
I will say that with the rebuild, even with reusing the outboard bushings, they spin great. Just frustrating that rebuild of these pedals is so apparently impossible.

Here's a link to the rebuild kit... http://www.westbrookcycles.co.uk/ht-components-pedal-rebuild-kit-for-ae01-me01-pedals-p282809

And here's a link for the tools but its way too expensive... http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/tools-c10/workshop-tools-c129/ht-components-evo-n-evo-pedal-rebuild-tool-p12842

All I really need is the tap so I took it to a tool shop but they came to the conclusion that they must use a custom tap to extract the large DU bushing because none of the standard sizes fit.

just ran into the post searching how to rebuild my me03 and ae03's

what a bummer on how to rebuild these, need expensive special tools, and they are hard to find...

best pedals just took a dive imo. bti doesn't even carry rebuild kits.

anyone found easy alternatives to obtain parts/tools?

Grave dig!

Anyone know what kit is needed to rebuild an X1? There is an X1 kit on the online shop but it dosent seem to contain any bushings. The X2 kit has bushings and from what I've gathered is that the only difference between the X1 and X2 is the machining of the body?

Do you really need the special bushing tool? I already made my own custom thinner socket and bushings you can usually just tap out without any really concern since even if you damage the bush you are replacing. Plus on the X1 the bush is so close to the edge that it should be possible to just tap it in with a socket.



Also anyone tried to modify the spring tension? I could have used more preload/stiffer spring if any one has any ideas, I've been thinking about adding more material to the plate that preloads the spring but havent really figured out a good solution.
