How To Rebuild The Sage Alloy Pedals

Trail One Components Sage Pedal Rebuild 

The Trail One Components Sage Pedal is a premium, CNC-machined platform pedal built for riders who value stability, performance, and serviceability. Like all high-end flat pedals, the internal bearings and seals can wear over time, leading to looseness or rough spinning. Fortunately, the Sage Pedal Rebuild Kit, along with a few basic tools, allows you to restore your pedals to smooth, like-new condition.

This guide provides clear, step by step instructions to disassemble, clean, and rebuild your Vortex pedals.

Tools and Materials Needed: 

• Sage Pedal Rebuild Kit 

• 8mm allen 

• 6mm allen 

• 8mm thin walled socket 

• 9mm socket

• Hammer 

• Pick

• Blind bearing puller 10-14mm ID 

• Grease 

• Rag or cloth 

Disassembly 

Step 1: Remove End Cap 

• Use a 6mm allen wrench to unscrew the end cap counter clockwise 

• This exposes the internals of the pedal and the 8mm nut holding the axle together 

Step 2: Remove nut and spindle 

• Use a 8mm socket to unscrew the nut. 

• NOTE: Driveside pedal nut is silver and reverse threaded (clockwise unscrew) and non-drive nut is black and standard threaded (counterclockwise unscrew) 

• Remove the nut 

• Remove the spindle from the pedal 

Step 4: Punch out bearing and bushing 

• Use a 6mm allen to punch out bearing and needle bearing

• On the opposite side of the pedal body, use a pick to remove rubber seal

• Insert blind bearing puller to grab onto the lip of the bushing to extract it

• Again, note the orientation of parts 

Reassembly 

Step 5: Install Bushing 

• Organize the new parts from the rebuild kit

• Press in the bushing with a 9mm socket. Use a hammer to carefully seat it all the way in the pedal body 

• Insert the rubber seal into the pedal body 

Step 6: Install Bearing and Spindle 

• Grease both the sealed radial and needle bearing. Using a 8mm socket and hammer, gently press in the bearings. This is the side with internal threads in the pedal body. 

• Add grease to the pedal spindle and insert spindle 

• Install the nut with a 8mm thin walled socket. Tighten till snug

• Install end cap and torque to 5 Nm 

Final Check

Spin the pedal by hand to ensure smooth, consistent rotation.
If resistance or noise is present, double check the bearing seating, grease amount, and orientation of parts.

Note: On lip of the pedal spindle by the main threads, non-drive side is indicated by a groove and drive-side is solid

Your Trail One Sage Pedals should now spin smoothly and feel as solid as new. Regular maintenance and occasional rebuilds will keep them performing at their best for years of riding.
