Notes from MyBikeThing
These VP-389 pedals offer versatile functionality with their clip-ready platform design. The aluminum body keeps weight reasonable while providing a stable platform, and the steel axles ensure durability. What sets these apart is their dual-purpose design – use them with clips for training rides or as platforms for casual cycling.
Condition
The pedals show their history but remain mechanically sound. Bearings spin freely but would benefit from fresh grease – they’re dry but not gritty or stiff. Need details about servicing or compatibility? I’m Paul – let’s chat about getting these dialed for your build!
You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition.
Workshop Wisdom
Carry a 15mm pedal wrench for installation. Remember – right pedal threads clockwise, left pedal counter-clockwise. A good service with fresh grease will keep these spinning smooth for years.
