It's French! What does everyone expect??! That's why it's "fun" dealing with French bikes and components. It's always a mystery what they were thinking when they were "on the boards" designing this stuff!
As I mentiond before, these CXC pedals from Malliard are "disposable" pedals that you use and replace when worn out. "Non-user servicable parts" is a good way to put it.

85(?) Vitus Carbone Plus 7
