Frequently Asked Questions
Are the grip pins replaceable and what tool do I need?
Yes — the AE05 uses EVO1 replaceable pins that screw into threaded inserts on the pedal body. Pins are typically removed and installed with a 2.5mm or 3mm Allen key depending on pin style; check the replacement pin spec before ordering.
Can these pedals be serviced or re-greased?
Yes — the AE05 features a serviceable EVO+ sealed bearing system. While sealed bearings reduce routine maintenance, you can rebuild or replace bearings and re-grease the spindle as part of regular service intervals, especially after heavy exposure to mud or water.
Will these fit my bike cranks?
The AE05 uses a 9/16'' thread standard, which fits nearly all modern mountain bike cranks from Shimano, SRAM, Race Face and others. If you have an older specialty crank with different threads, check your crank's manual first.
How durable are these for aggressive trail riding?
Very durable for trail and all‑mountain use. The extruded + CNC machined aluminum body resists impacts and abrasion, and the Cr‑Mo spindle is a proven material for demanding riding. For heavier gravity use (downhill/park), riders sometimes prefer larger freeride-specific platforms.
What's the expected weight per pair and will it affect pedaling?
The AE05 pair weighs about 352g (manufacturer lists ~360g). That is light for a robust aluminum platform and keeps rotating mass low, so you’ll notice responsive pedaling without excess weight on climbs.
Do these pedals come in other colors or variants?
This listing is for the red pair with aluminum body and Cr‑Mo spindle. HT Components sometimes offers additional colors or finishes; check our store or HT’s catalog for other variants and limited runs.
Buying Guide
When choosing platform pedals, consider platform size, pin system, spindle material and bearing type. Aluminum bodies offer a direct, stiff connection and are lighter than many steel alternatives; paired with a Cr‑Mo threaded spindle, you get a durable interface with cranksets. Bearings matter: sealed cartridge or sealed cup-and-cone systems keep grit out and reduce service intervals. Decide how much width you need — wider platforms are more stable but heavier. Replaceable pins, like the EVO1 system on the AE05, are a smart feature for riders who want to tune traction or replace wear items without buying new pedals.
