Maillard CXC
Hey guys,
I am having difficulty sourcing the toe clips that come with these pedals. They are as you can see different in that they have one single bar to attach them to the pedal. Does anyone know where I might track these down?
Thanks.

Keep watching out for them at eBay, specially from French sellers. These 80's pedals came with many Peugeots from the mid 80's, including my PSV.
Lots of them were taken off the bikes by their owners when the first clipless pedals (by Look) became the rave.......including me....so many of these pedals and clips, most of them with very few miles on them, fell into "junk" drawers in garages never to see daylight again till someone decides to dig them out to sell at eBay. You might not find the clips by themselves being sold but have to buy the whole pedal with clips if you do finally find them. Go for it, because you can use the pedals for spares, lest they become really impossible to find in the future.
Keep up the search and you will eventually find them.

If you can't source them from eBay, just buy a pair of plastic clips, trim off the bottom, and drill a couple holes for the mounting bolts:

I have that exact pair. I would be willing to trade for something similar to this- https://www.flickr.com/photos/retro-r...n/photostream/
Im looking for a pedal with more of a platform and less of a ridge for slotted cleats.
PM if interested

Man... I was gonna start a thread exactly like this today, too.
I just wanna know how the freaking dustcaps come off them, mine have no grease in them and I want to fix that.

I was gonna replace them with MKS GR-9's on the tandem they came off of, anyways. Maybe just keep them around for another project somewhere down the line.

The Sintesis have a set screw in the middle of the cap. Drive it IN with a 3mm Allen wrench and it will push the cap off. Service the pedal, back off the set screw and pop the cap back into place. It's just a press fit; no threads.

Which ones? The OP's Maillard pedals, or the Ofmega Sintesis (aka "Avocet mod. III") I posted?
The Sintesis have a set screw in the middle of the cap. Drive it IN with a 3mm Allen wrench and it will push the cap off. Service the pedal, back off the set screw and pop the cap back into place. It's just a press fit; no threads.

That's just rust pitting on those caps.

Some of the later production Maillard pedals had "no user servicable parts inside." I suspect this is one such model.

If anyone can figure out a non-destructive method of getting the dustcap off, PLEASE DO TELL!

I had another model of Maillard late production pedals that had no obvious means of removing the dustcap. I tried to service one of them and managed to remove the cap, but even with the cap removed there was no means of servicing the bearings. I suspect you will have to replace the pedals if the bearings are not acceptable.

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.
