Have any of you actually tried these pedals out with an English crankset? Frankly I would be reluctant to put any sort of load on them. What little experience I have in this area comes from a pair of Lyotard Marcel Berthet pedals I bought many years ago. Although they were sold as having BSC threads, I'm convinced that Lyotard were playing the same game that TA is these days. Anyway, when threaded into my TA crankset (with BSC threads!) then proved to be extraordinarily loose - so much so that I was concerned that merely tightening them would risk stripping the cranks. I couldn't believe that they would sustain real cycling loads and would have the same concerns about the TA pedals. But I love to be proven wrong, so if there is any real-world experiance with the TA pedals, please speak up! Best regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
