I emailed dw but they missed the reply I sent with pics so I wasn’t able to get them to identify it. I got this dw5000 2nd hand a week ago with an old beat up kit. I wiped off a lot of the dust today and it has two problems - the connecting shaft is cactus and the chain on the slave pedal is missing the little part that secures it to the cam.
I’m trying to work out if it’s worth fixing because I know how expensive spare parts can be. In order to get the parts I want to figure out what series it is. The footboards look like the newer edition but the hoop clamp seems to be quite old and has lots of play in it. The wing nut you turn with your fingers to fasten the clamp to the hoop was the thing that struck me as old, and it has dw written on it so I think it’s s genuine part. I’m thinking maybe someone has upgraded the footboards on an old pedal?
I could buy a trick shaft for my own dw pedal and donate its shaft to this pedal, I would feel less guilty about spending my $$$ that way.
And I was wondering if I walk into a bike repair shop or mechanic if they might have the little clips that could secure the chain but it seems doubtful.
Any help is appreciated.
