So, here's my problem in pictures. The Quattro with end cover on, and what it looks like with the cover off:

Close-up of the end, showing what looks like the bearing. On regular beaters the bearing is held in by a retaining nut - and falls out easily when the nut is removed. Barring brute force and pointy bits of steel, not sure how I am supposed to get this out. Also, how is the spindle held in place without some kind of nut? There is no hex traction if you put a small enough hex in the central hole here.

Finally, this is the other end of the pedal: standard 8mm hex fitting to the pedal as per Eggbeater SLs.

If anyone has a set of instructions for their Quattros and can give it a glance to help me out, it would be greatly appreciated...

I use a Kryptonite New York lock sized for Motorbikes (weighs a TON) and one of those phat Abus cables that go round your waist. But not on my Condor.

I've unscrewed all there is to unscrew - so as you say, that leaves the possibility of a cap. There has to be a retaining nut somewhere because otherwise the pedal would fly off the spindle. I'll post some photos when I get home before I get stuck in.

Has anyone here ever disassembled a Crank Bros Quattro pedal to regrease its spindle? I have a pair of Quattros I bought secondhand (no instructions). I took the end plates off, looking for the retaining nut for the spindle you find at the end of a standard Eggbeater but there doesn't appear to be one - just what seem to be a set of seals. Before I resort to prising them out to see what's behind them, I wanted to ask the question here.

I've done a fair bit of searching on Google but haven't found anything specifically on the Quattro (loads of stuff on Beaters, though).

Anyone got an 18t 1/8 going begging?
I will have an 18t 3/32 needing a new home from next week.

I'm led to believe we don't approve of the word 'Frenchie' on this forum - can we stick with 'Frenched'? Welcome, Frencheds!

I've always wanted to have a go on a recumbie.

Whatever you do, don't mention 'fixie'. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

Not you didn't, it has been noted.

I'm riding SS at the moment, on my 'Singlie'.

In front of tourists one fine Sunday in Maida Vale, distracted by the various colours of the leaves by the canal. It's the lack of drama that kills you. The worried yummy mummy saying, "Are you all right?"

They are mine now ... the preciousssss! Great to meet you Phil, hope you get the silver cranks you want.

I'll believe bus drivers are considerate when they stop overtaking me JUST before they pull into a bus stop.

Going to have a look at them tomorrow...

You might want to check that the exposed bit of the broader part of the bar by the side of the stem is long enough to take the whole width of the clamp on your Dirty Harrys. If you try to clamp where the bar turns or starts to taper you may run into trouble (as I did). Then you have a choice of shimming or fitting a 22.2 lever further out.

I drove a car for the first time in two years on holiday last week (in Italy) and I had that videogame feeling that Elguapo describes - just strangely disconnected from the road compared with what I'm used to. And this was a in a car!

Are your bars a consistent width or do they get wider where the stem attaches?

I'll take second dibs on the cranks if you can't work something out with Phil...

I have a a pair of Wellgo-style steel / alloy pedals fitted with plastic open toeclips.

I guess the catchment area of these summer shows organised by the council (we have one in Southwark) covers the territory of multiple gangs, who think they have to turn up to assert themselves against one another. Pathetic, really.

Did these guys actually threaten you?

Yes and yes. PM me yr email or can meet up tomorrow.

They look fine. How much use have they had? I'm out and about in town tomorrow, let's do a deal.

Great - I was looking at quattros - how much do you want for them?

I keep trying to buy Beaters (MXR, S, C) and cleats for my 'Sunday' bike on the 'bay but keep getting outbid by tiny amounts. Anyone got any they would be happy to flog to me? Nothing too knackered, but don't mind light use.
