There is a bearing cover on the sx's that is different to the DX.

O.K, thanks for that. :daumenhoch:  So, if the bearing caps from your DX pedals were in decent nick, you could use them with the SX axles and they would look right?  I thought you meant there was a noticeable difference at the flatted section where you screw them in with a spanner. (poor terminology, I know)

Sorry for being an anorak and a thread hi-jacker :-[

Pass mate as i havent got a set of sx's. The internals are different too but at the end of the day you wouldnt notice if they were on a bike at mk.
