Today I had my Speedplay X/2 pedals come apart on me. If you look at the pedal itself, there's 2 hourglass shaped metal piece on both sides of the pedal and they are held together by 2 Torx screws. On my ride, it's these screws that loosed, so you can't pull up on the pedal anymore.
It's pretty rare for any road rider to carry a Torx wrench, but I had one cause I mountain bike. However this bolt was a smaller size than the standard disc brake torx size. So I bet nobody, and I mean nobody, carries a Torx wrench of the this size when they go out riding. It used to be just an Allen key, but I wonder why Speedplay changed in this very non standard size?
It ended a pretty nice ride...
