I have some SPD pedals that need rebuilding for a click.
Searching has not been fruitful.
Anybody have any tips on who makes them so I can source some new bearings?
Thanks

The pedals are probably loose bearing pedals and are likely quite small…1/8” is likely. You should be able to get the bearings from a bike shop or hardware store. They won’t need anything terribly special in terms of grade. But pedals are seldom worth the effort of rebuilding especially (kind of) off brands like VP. There are tons of pedals out there. If you have a bicycle co-op near you, you can likely find a bin of them that will cost you next to nothing.

As best I can read from your photograph they were made by VP Components who makes a wide variety of low to middle range pedals. Here is their web site: https://www.vpcomponents.com/. You should be able to find your exact pedals in the product list.

I expect these use cup-and-cone bearings and most likely 1/8" or 5/32" loose bearing balls. Any bike shop or industrial supply shop will have them. The tricky part of many of these pedals is adjusting the cone and locknut as the space around them is tight and most common sockets are too thick.

Just from the photo, I suspect (do not know), that they will not be serviceable.

The diameter of the spindle portion of the pedal body seems small for a ball bearing.

Many pedals with similar dimensions do not have the classic BB construction. Instead, they have plain bearings (bushings) or sometimes a needle bearing on the crank side and a bushings on the outer end.

I suggest you see if you can pry off the plastic end cap and see what's what. If it's not obviously serviceable, warm up some thick oil, stand the pedal up, and let gravity take it through to the far end.

If you cannot open it up, same thick oil, but wicked in from the crank end.

Sort of echoing the above. With a backup pedal on hand I would first open them up. This does two things. First, it makes sure they will come apart and go back together without some critical plastic piece breaking. Second, it will tell you what is in there. I did that with my wife’s cheap SPDs and found nothing but a plastic sleeve and some grease. Fresh grease and they’ll get another 10 years of light use. They might be just a sleeve bushing, could be loose bearings, or on a slim chance (given the price point and type) might be a cartridge of some sort. Easy enough to measure once you’re there.

Thanks to all.
I had tried searching on the logo, and wasn't getting a V out of their logo design. (LP?,IP? wow was I far off)
I would never have figgered that one, so thanks again.
Appear to be VP-M32 MTB bike pedals with Axle Cr-Mo. Bearings are LSL & sealed ball bearings, found new pedals for ~$40.
Their bearings are a bit loose and notchy but when I got down and dirty with them, found the click/clunk was from the NDS BB bearing.
with the pedals not tight , but not the clunk.
Dust covers can't come off in non destructive way, So I'll round up some spares before "investigating" them,
since my wine cork bar ends have already elicited comment.
Grinding down sockets has not been the most productive thing I've ever done,
this may be more a post mortem than repair.

Once again my thanks to all
