I’ve had the racing pedals over a year now. I’ve been running the softer small elastomer for the majority of that time. Usually around 50-60kg but I probably hit 65-70 at peak.

At some point when beginning to release pressure from peak braking, I started feeling as though the pedal was sticking. Taking it apart, you can see how the end of the tube is just about boring through the elastomer.

I switched to the stiffer short elastomer and am immediately feeling the same stickiness, which aside from feeling annoying, leads me to believe I’ll have another damaged elastomer soon.

Anyone with similar experience or advice? I don’t feel like lubing them more often will stop this.
