I specifically asked Wolf Tooth about disadvantages of using a bolt instead of a nut and there is no strength concern. To back that up, I’ve seen a fair few broken pedals but never one that’s broken at that end.
Interesting comment about the bearing size. They look to be about ~ the same size as usual but that was a failure on my part not measuring them. I’ll fix that this week and post up comparable dimensions. That would make sense if they’re slightly larger ID and so they used three.
More work to machine but like using an HG tool for fork top caps or putting out a 30mm BB that uses the same tool as the original Zipp setup, I love anything where companies simplify the quantity of tools we need to own.
