For Vector 3 users, has anyone had issues with one of the pedals “sticking”? I have dual-sided Vector3, roughly a year old with probably 3500 miles or so on them. I noticed on an outisde ride that my right pedal wasn’t spinning freely when I would unclip; the left pedal spins freely. This weekend, I…

I’m sure you’ve looked at this already but the seals on the pedal spindles are more robust than other pedals due to the electronics inside. They have more drag due to this. Both my pedals are slower to return to a down position when I unclip. I would not make any adjustments to the torque setting…

[image] Bikeguy0: I would not make any adjustments to the torque settings, battery cap, or screws that hold down the electronics. Any lost watts, if any, are absolutely not worth jacking with a $1,000 power meter for. Agree with all of this. I torqued the nut to 10N-m; and checked that the ba…

Thank you for the link. I admit I didn’t search their forums thoroughly because they tend to devolve into useless discussions quite a bit IME. That thread makes me feel better, and at the end on page Four is a link to a service advisory that addresses this specific issue on non-new Vector3s. Appreci…

hey guys, just on a side note have you managed to get your platform centre offset to 0 on both pedals . currently using the same pedals , done all the bike fits and also adjusted cleats but still struggling to get the PCO to neutral on both sides. any tips or previous experience will help] ]thanks

Just an update here in the event anyone experiences similiar. Thanks to @Bikeguy0 for his link, which pushed me to two known issues with the Vector 3s, in their troubleshooting section. The first is the well-known battery cover issue which has since been resolved for the new-release pedals. If you’r…

Good to know on the cartridge separation. I hadn’t heard of that problem. Glad it worked out.

im now on my 3rd set of Vector 3’s, the first two sets failed in exactly the same way with the pedal body coming away from the cartridge. First set bought in march, 3 weeks of riding and the right pedal failed, could barely turn the pedal by hand it was so bad. Sent back, took 11 weeks!!! for repla…

That’s pretty bad. I’m sorry you’ve had that experience with them! My second set hasn’t had any issues (yet?) now four months in at about 150mi/wk.

Interesting thread. I had a Vector 3 set where the right side pedal had intermittent dropouts, then stopped communicating altogether. Then, before I got around to seriously investigating what was going on, it started feeling a bit funny under my foot – and when I took the battery door off, I disco…
