Hey folks, back again for some help. I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for, so figured I would ask. I am also certain that this topic has been covered numerous times before, but my search for "dead pedals" brought up nothing good.
Ok, I recently bought some OBX Spec-R pedals, and have some questions before I tackle the dead pedal install. How exactly should I secure it? I have read about drilling through the existing one, using double sided tape, even velcro was mentioned on one site, but wanted your ideas on it.
If I do drill through the existing one, how exactly should I do it? Would it go all the way through the body, and then use a screw and nut to secure it, or should I only use 1/2" screws that are for metal tapping? Also, what should I use to cover up the hole so water doesn't get in? Is silicone ok, or do you recommend something else?
Second idea mentioned was taping, either double sided or velcro(whatever?!?!). If this is used, who has done it before, and how does it hold up to normal wear? Obviously not as secure as a bolt on method, but one to consider I presume.
Thanks for the help fellas!
