How are the Gen 2 Loam Pedals different from the Gen 1 Loam Pedals?

The Gen 2 Loam Pedals are a complete redesign. There are many exciting improvements:

• The Gen 2 Loam pedals feature the Tectonic™ Pin system.
• The Gen 2 Loam pedals are much easier to service due to the Tectonic™ Pin system and PNW’s new cartridge axle system.
• The Gen 2 Loam pedals are CNC’d aluminum, rather than forged.
• The Gen 2 Loam pedal has a redesigned shape that better accommodates multiple foot placements.
  
• The Gen 2 Loam pedals are 25 grams lighter than Gen 1.

What is the Tectonic™ Pin system?

• Stainless steel patented Tectonic™ traction pins offer incredible grip, durability, and ease of maintenance. The Tectonic™ pin system reduced our pin count from 22 to 12 pins per pedal. The pins run vertically through the pedal body and are easily replaced with outboard 2.5mm set screws. Replacing all pins is much faster than traditional systems, and if a pin is severely thrashed during a moment of shred, it’s still easily replaceable. Tectonic™ traction pins are patented by Tectonic Components of Colorado, USA.

Is it easy to service the Gen 2 Loam Pedals?

• They’re extremely simple to service. The 18mm cartridge nut can be cracked open with common tools like a fixed or adjustable crescent wrench, socket wrench, channel locks, etc. Once the cartridge is removed, the 8mm axle nut can also be removed with any one of those basic tools. Removing the axle nut gains access to the two sealed cartridge bearings and single bushing inside the cartridge. A full teardown is possible in minutes without specialized tools.

How are the Gen 2 Loam Pedals constructed?

• The pedal platform is CNC’d and finished with laser-etched details.

Can I use the Gen 2 Loam Pedals for DH riding or on my e-bike?

• Yes, and we encourage it. The Gen 2 Loam Pedals are EFBE Category 5 certified, meaning they are good to go for the most aggressive riding, including e-bikes and DH riding.

Do the pedals come with extra pins?

• Yes, in the package you’ll find a small parts envelope with 2x Tectonic pins, 2x set screws, and 2x pedal washers.
