Having just finished a pedal-body overhaul (ie. springs & O-rings) on my CB Eggbeater Ti pedals, I thought it might be helpful to share some pictures showing what's involved, since I've noticed there's hardly any information available on this topic.
As most CB owners will know, routine maintenance on Eggbeaters is a piece of cake, and in most cases, just cleaning-and-lubing is all that's needed to keep your pedals in great shape.
But on high-mileage pedals like mine, it turns that a little more is needed, since springs & O-rings simply don't get renewed by a regular CB service. It's pretty easy to diagnose worn springs an/or O-rings, since:
Anyway, enough gas-bagging; here's the 'before' pics, in which there's about 10-15 degrees of 'slop' evident between pic 1 & 2...
Before & After pics of the spring...
Here's the disassembled pedal-body...
And finally, the re-built pedal...

- the bails lose tension, resulting in sloppy pedal engagement
- consequently, the cleat simply 'falls' out of the pedal, and
- grease tends to escape past the O-ring seals onto the pedal body exterior (clearly visible in pics 1&2),
- needless to say, no amount of lube or rebuild-kits will ever remedy this!
