105 R7000 Pedal Sticks...
Hey all. I have a new pair of 105 R7000 pedals. Less than 100 miles on them and the drive-side pedal sticks. It just stays in the position that it was left in. No movement at all unless force is applied. Is that normal? The left pedal falls into place, no problem. Should I regrease the pedal? And suggestions? Thank you!

It will loosen up with a bit more mileage. No need to re-grease it.

I use pd-a520's and both sets took a few hundred miles to get where they'd fall to the clip in position. Maybe as much as 300 miles or more.

Thanks all. My concern is that the pedal was functioning just fine for a while, and then just began to stick. I that normal?

It is not unusual for R7000 pedals to be a bit sticky when new and they can vary from side to side. But you should be able to turn it easily with your hand. One might just have a bit more grease packed in there or a tighter tolerance.
