Hey everyone, Seems I have had two right side pedals fall off after a recent rebuild. Two separate Colnagos but the same scenario--both fell off while under load (up hill climbing, sprint). I put white lithium on both pedals (and everything really) before screwing them onto the crank arms. Any ideas why they would be unscrewing themselves? Am I doing something wrong? The only common denominator between these two bikes and both pedals is myself with a wrench. Yikes, the implications are humbling. I've also lost a bit of thread from the crank arm. Can these be re-tapped? Thanks,
