Trouble with Kona Wah Wah flat pedals
Hi. During this morning's ride my left Kona Wah Wah plastic platform flat pedal started squeaking, and it doesn't spin freely, so I tried taking it apart to check the bearings. After finding a large 8mm Allen key I removed the pedal, then removed the end cap, but I couldn't get an 8mm (nor any other size) socket to fit into the recess over the nut. So I wasn't able to remove the spindle. I don't know what I was doing wrong, or if I would need a different, thinner socket. Any ideas? Also, is it normal for bearing in one pedal to go bad after a little over 2,000km? Thanks!
