Hey there people
So,,here is another ,,"kinda GT Lobo Sts Dh " update
I've always loved the Shimano Dx 636 pedals from back in the day
And obviously on my GT Lobo, i had a set of these pedals on.And they are these days, definetly in need of a resto.So this is what you will see in this post
So i decided to not go all bananas with them ,cause one of them did suffer a heavy damage,so it is abit bent,and not possible to get it perfect.
But I wanted to make the best out of them,so I straightened out the bent one as best as I could.Then i Filed down some of the worst damage/scooring in the end pieces. Then i painted them with a paint color,as close to the original color as possible
As I went along ,i decided to go on the hunt for a second set of 636 pedals,and I found a set that looked pretty clean,and with little use.And these have arrived, and I basically got a bargain, as they are close to mint condition. Just needs minor touch up on the red end pieces
The other cool thing i wanted to show, is the matching Shimano DX shoes,which i luckily have saved.They are in usable condition actually
They also got a proper clean, and a tidy up .Also treated the leather with some leather care products for my car
So as usual,here are some pictures of the parts ,and I hope you like them

REady to be put back together.I did not do anything to the clip mechanism.As i am not after having them looking all brand new...but rather make them a tad better than they were
