Definitely good news.

The big lump of black plastic looks exposed, but it's actually quite tough. Mine is just slightly scratched. I was worried that it would be vulnerable. Good news!

Reviving this for some updates on Assioma CXR conversion..
So on my CXR pedals, If I "do not" use the dust shield washer on the inside of spindle (double bearing side) the pedal spins freely, no preload issues and no lateral play..
My question, do I really need to run the dust shield or make one that fits.. or will running them exposed be okay? The bearings are sealed anyway, and are no more exposed than a headset bearing.. I was just thinking a little extra grease squirted in to provide barrier to the elements may be enough, and then just keep them clean between very dirty rides..
Or maybe fashion something thin out of plastic to provide a cover?
Your thoughts?

That sounds good to me. However, it probably depends on some very personal variables - how dirty do your rides get, and how meticulous are you about cleaning your bike afterward? (The inner side of the pedal is the last place that most riders would think of cleaning).
Personally, I live in a muddy area and I'm a bit lazy with cleaning, so I fitted slim PTFE washers as an improvised bearing shield.

I like the idea of the PTFE washer... more protection is better than none...bobrayner wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:37 pmThat sounds good to me.

I took off the washer from Xpedo M-force 8 (pictures) and M-force 4. They are aluminium and are easy to remove. They slide easy to Assioma axle and the end result is exatly the same as original Xpedo desing.
Question on the newer DUO Shimano pedals...
I scanned the thread or may be I've misinterpreted the information and watching the DC Rainmaker video, which seemed to suggest the axles were very similar but with a slight difference. Is there a similar hack to put SPD compatible pedals on?

Compiled this after a lot of digging through exploded views of Shimano pedals and SJS cycles replacement offerings. The list below is a mix of road and mtb pedals.crlincoln wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 9:37 amQuestion on the newer DUO Shimano pedals...

For the Shimano spindles, looking at the part number from the Shimano exploded views of the compatible pedals on Favero’s site and doing a cross-ref search at SJS Cycles, this is a listing of what pedals might make suitable conversion candidates (for the SHIMANO Favero spindles).
Favero Shimano spindles (l/r p/n) Compatibility based on lists from SJS Cycles. Just did a quick scan/bolding of those that will have SPD interface on at least one side. *I only have done conversions of the DUOs to date, have a set of the PD-EH500 on hand but don't have the DUO spindles accessible to try them on.

Saw a pic/info re a set of Shimano PD-ES600 bodies installed on a pair of Assiomas Shi. The non threaded part of the axle is around 7mm longer on the Assioma, they solved with addition of 3 rubber O rings (14mmx2.50mm).

How do you take off the end cap of the pedal to remove it from the axle?kampiakseli wrote:I took off the washer from Xpedo M-force 8 (pictures) and M-force 4. They are aluminium and are easy to remove. They slide easy to Assioma axle and the end result is exatly the same as original Xpedo desing.

I put it between pliers and plase the nut to the axle. Then tap the nut with hammer. It does not require much force. Axle is steell and the washer is aluminium.
The endcaps are removable. Rotate to expose an area to press against. These are quite soft, you'll probably leave notches. The Ti version uses Phillips screws to hold the body, same thread on left and right. I didn't compare R-Force and M-Force 8 Ti (own both), so hard to tell about compatibility. Make sure to use Xpedo cleats, steel cleats will groove the pedal body away.
