Are the bearings user-serviceable? Can they be adjusted &amp; lubed? Thanks.

Sure but the bearing are very small. Maybe not worth the hassle and just replace the pedal if that becomes an issue.

it runs good on smooth or semi-smooth surface, not sure on bearings. buy one you'll have fun!!

These may be slightly wider and taller, but not much. (Sorry, but they are not readily available to measure) They are substantial and feel solid and well built. The grips are well cushioned. And the bearings (I assume) are very smooth. You may wear out before they do.

I definitely think you should repack the bearing... I was able to repack it in just a few minutes. Just be careful when removing them. You don't want to damage them. I believe you would have to pull the shaft if you have to replace them. Make sure you use high quality grease that can withstand high temps.

They are smooth. Bearings? I don't think they will be too big, there is a lot of padding and adjust.

Actually, the bearings are very good. The quality of the entire thing is good. My son rides it constantly & he's never had any problems with it.

"Bearings" is an overstatement IMHO, though some call bushings bearings. The wheels include a pressed in bushing that rides on the axle. It's been a long time since I got these for my dad, so I don't know if it is a powdered metal oiled busing or a high-density polymer bushing.

I own 3 bikes: Brompton, Surly, CETMA. 2 of them are handmade. I do all the wrenching on them. I've tried these pedals on the CETMA. The bearings wore out in a few months. Doesn't matter how much they weigh. They suck. Spend your money on some MKS pedals, instead.

They are not really locked, just very tight. Use 2 pair of pliers and make a quarter turn. Once in place the swivels they work great, although they have a firm resistance. The bearings are lubricated.

@Austin the bearing were about the same quality as the reds bearings. Really the only difference was that they were yellow instead of red. Also the board came with yellow moranga wheels instead of yellow stims. Lastly, the bushings were garbage, but overall I like the board. It takes a little while to adjust to, but still good for tricks and pretty fun

Not really poss to replace them. If bearings need replace we send new rope. Dual core steel bearings is what they are. Hope this helps.

The bearings are very good. They last a long time and are pretty fast. Just take the shields off.

Without knowing more details I am going to say you didn't read the reviews before installing your sunlite Lockjaw's. You nerd to take them off, open them up, grease/lubricate and set the bearing tension so they free spin without binding. They some adjusted too tight from the factory. I packed my bearings with valvoline axle grease & gave the pedals a nice break in ride. These pedals are awesome. My Lockjaw's are on my carbonfibre Klein mantra race xl frame, I love them. Ride safe ....

Somewhat normal; the instructions say they come pre-lubricated but whenever I buy a new pair, i like to pop off the shields and lubricate them just to get extra performance. I was using an all-purpose lubricant from a hardware store. Then i switched to graphite powder lubricant which works alright if you only use a little. Now i just got a bottle from the skate shop to bearing lube that will last me for years. I would recommend lightly lubricating your new REDS and spinning them a few times for even lubricant distribution.

sealed bearings. along with a "greasert" fitting to lube if ever needed again. pretty fairly smooth and strong...

Yes they do have sealed bearings, this pedal is strong I am using everyday on my MTB and they rock!

I don't think they are. You have to install the zero fittings, and I don't recall seeing any grease . I greased mine after they were on the car to ensure they were properly lubed.Additionally, it is not a sealed joint, meaning periodic lube is required.
