Speedplay Zero Chro-mo pedals mod to Titanium

A while ago, in the VCC workshop, we replaced the Chromoly axles on a pair of Speedplay Zero's with Titanium ones, to see how much weight we could shave off those brilliant pedals. Here is the story...

                                     first, we weighted the stock Cromo Zero's, at 223grams

each pedal was placed on the workbench & squeezed with the clamp, in order to free their axles

                                                                              axle free....

                                                  Chromo and Titanium axles, side by side...

                                                           Cromo axles on the scale...

                                             Titanium axles at almost half the weight ...

               the complete pair of Speedplay Zero's with their new Ti axles - 56 grams lighter !!!
