Funny you mentioned that. I rarely put my foot there either.

I usually have my left foot flat on the floor right in front of my seat. Then I rest my left arm on my left knee with my left hand on the wheel. Much more comfortable to me this way.

Back to the dead pedal itself: for those of you who sent theirs back for modification/replacement, did you contact Zeta by phone or was there an RMA that I didn't see in the box? I sent them an e-mail with photos a few days ago but haven't received a response yet.

yah, probably best to call and leave message if you haven't heard back from them. your email could've ended up in their spam folder by accident.

i emailed and received a response quickly, so I suggest you either call, or send it from a different email account.

They got back to me 6 days later and, after some clarification, e-mailed me an RMA to send the pedal back. I received a replacement pedal not long after and found that the mounting bracket on the old pedal was welded approximately 3/4" lower on the dead pedal compared to the replacement. This, and possible a slightly greater angle on the bracket prevented me from installing it before. I haven't tried the replacement yet, but I'm anticipating that it'll go in without issue. I found that the gentleman I corresponded with at Zeta, Angelo, kept in contact with me after his first response without any delay whatsoever.

Hope everything works out for you. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just installed my dead pedal. First got the top bolt started and tried to wiggle the lower into place - no go. Reversed the order (lower first), and all went smoothly. Great mod and product overall!
