We all know how amazing the grip on Mugen pedals are right...but now I have to ask you, how the hell are they grippy when THIS happens!





I emailed Kingmotorsports and they didn't even bother replying to my mail...

I've been just driving with these for the past 1.5yrs and it was all good until a week and a half ago I felt something drop onto my shoe while I was driving. Lo and behold, the grip surface fell off!

Any of you guys have ANY suggestion as to how the hell I'm going to stick it back on!?

Please?

well if thats glue on the back, perhaps you could try heating it to see if it melts and could possibly reattatch. maybe some 3M double sided tape, that stuff is amazing.

i'd go with epoxy, something that specifically states it can bond unsimilar materials. try and get all the old glue off too.... That sucks though man those are expensive pedals. Where did you purchase them from? how long ago did you email King? I know they are always fairly busy.

what he said...

it was a gift so I don't know where they were purchased. But I've emailed King in the past and they're generally pretty good with responding to questions, it's strange how they didn't this time.

Anyway, I'll try to find an epoxy that will bond unsimilar materials, not very good with handywork materials, and I'll let you guys know Thanks

I'm wondering, has this happened to anyone else who owns Mugen pedals?

its tough to determine what to do when they were a gift. Especially for king because if they didnt directly sell to you, then you can't expect them to do anything. Not to mention its 1.5 yrs later. but i can feel you on the fact that $150 pedals failed on ya... sorry dude

no problems here, yet. Had them for about the same amount of time.

Mr. Thunderlips

It looks like you could just scrape off that old resedue, and reglue it with some sore of high tech adhesive.

I couldn't possibly imagine King honoring a "lifetime" warranty on a high use item like a pedal.

no probs here but ya got me worried man. some 3m tape or silicone should do the trick

that looks disgusting. i'm getting chills just looking at it. it looks like some kinda of fungus.

oh I'm definetely not asking King to warrant anything, as a business I can definetely understand that too. I merely asked them if they could possibly let me know what I could use to glue the plate back onto the pedal.

However, I disagree somewhat it's period of usage. 1.5yrs isn't very long if you really think about it, and yes it's used daily, but if you're going to make a product that experiences constant usage and beatings, it should be a product that's tried and tested right? I mean with a name as big as Mugen, you'd expect nothing short of what you're forking out the cash for.

It's just like the Mugen headers, you're paying HUGE bucks for a header that probably doesn't even net you more power, infact, it makes less in some cases. Don't get me wrong though, I still think Mugen products are great in most respects, but at the very least, Mugen or their distributors should back their products 100%. That's just my feeling, but then again, it's a corporate world, nothing is perfect.

I used to have a set and one of the inserts started coming loose like this. they're not really held in place very well. I'd just glue (epoxy or something) it back in place.

It took me forever to sell my set because the porous material absorbs moisture and dirt and changes color. Everyone's used to seeing the brand new ones with their light-grey appearance and when they see a used set they appear abused. What they don't realize is that a new set is going to do the same thing.

If the biggest, angriest looking man said anything along the lines of, "EEEW!! ICKY FUNGUS!" about a car part in front of me, I'd say that to his face. Period.

So you're a big enough man to throw around with a stranger, but too grossed out by glue to abide a picture of a detached pedal surface? Ha. Amusing.

any slow set expoxy is better for un-like materials. But they do make them for metal to plastic, which that would be.

edit: the reason I said slow set is because they tend to offer a stronger hold than any quick set ever could. You also may want to scuff up the area on the pedal a bit.
