DEKADE ALUMINIUM PEDAL

You are entitled to the statutory warranty for the first 24 months.

As first time owner, we grant an additional 3-year guarantee on our pedal
after registration within 30-days of purchase. This means you have an
overall guarantee period of five years from the date of purchase of the
pedals.

All Dekade pedals are shipped with additional washers for the pins. Just mount them under your pin-head and you can lower the pin height about 1mm.

We also include a Torx T15 tool, so you don't need to buy any new tool.

As a second-hand owner, you will need the original invoice to make any warranty claims, so does the first owner as well.

If you buy a second-hand Dekade pedals, you are still entitled to the remaining term of the legal 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.

However, our voluntary additional 3-year guarantee only applies to the original owner.

Each body will have on the inner side a laser logo showing which size of platform and which side of the platform it is, so you can easily distinguish the left from the right side.

You will need a 8mm hex torque wrench and we recommend the axle is torqued to 35Nm. We also suggest using axle washers between axle and crank, which are shipped with each Dekade pedal. Please be aware there is left and right pedal side, each with different thread. Left pedal-axle uses right-hand thread, right pedal-axle uses left-hand thread. Each pedal body has a laser logo on the inside marking LEFT or RIGHT.

Yes, there is plenty of clearance.

No. We use long-lasting german quality IGUS bushings and double sealed industrial bearings. Our triple sealing keeps your pedals spinning for a long time. Clean your pedals after your ride to let them look fresh.

In case they start to have some play, open the axle (don't forget to remove the pins next to the end cap first), clean the axle and internals and then add new grease. Reassemble everything and go riding.

No. It's good to know that you don't need any special tool. A regular tool case should carry everything. You will need a proper 8mm hex key to hold the axle, our included Torx T15 wrench to remove the pins and a 6mm allen key to open the cap. The axle is fixed by a right-hand threaded 8mm nylon-nut, so you will need a 8mm socket tool as well.

From time to time, it makes sense to freshen up the pedal internals, but it's not necessary unless they haven't developed any play or noise. We recommend corrosion and oxidation-resistant lithium complex soap grease with good shear stability. Any other grease will work too, but we have made the best experience with the above-mentioned characteristics.

Yes, we have everything (really everything) for replacement. You will find it on our Pedal Accessory page.

The ASTM category (from the American Society for Testing and Materials) tells you what kind of riding a bike component is officially tested and approved for – from smooth roads to full-on downhill abuse.

Why does it matter?
Not every part is built for every trail. The ASTM rating helps you understand how much stress a component can handle – and whether it matches your riding style.
It gives you confidence knowing your gear is made for what you ride.

Category / What it means / Typical use

ASTM 1 / Light riding on paved roads / Urban, commuting

ASTM 2 / Gravel roads, smooth trails / XC, touring

ASTM 3 / Rougher terrain, small drops / Trail, All-Mountain

ASTM 4 / Technical trails, big hits / Enduro

ASTM 5 / Extreme use, jumps, bike park / Freeride, Downhill
