Just outta interest, when the pedal fails, is it usually the plastic ratchet teeth that go or does the little tension spring loose the plot? |

teeth.
Spring usually gives no trouble unless its caught in something or not located properly. |

the ratchet fails without makign noise, sometimes it cracks/creaks others its quiet and you crunch the gears in.
pedals easy enough to change, should take about 20 mins or so. |
