I have no issue with the stainless steel version. Purchased in mid April directly from wahoo website.

Ordered 7. 4. stainless steel pedals directly from Wahoo and I have movement... You have to use more power to do it, but it is there...

Hi All

I put in a support ticket with Wahoo and they answered within 2 hours telling me not to use the pedals and that they would replace them immediately...

I think Ill wait it out over the summer till the recalls are in place for the vendors carring them that have not realized this issue is there....Especially since I was looking at the nano....

I'm hoping this means some of the normal players for aftermarket spindles will be out in force shortly with a Ti offering.
Unsure how to contact J&L difrectly, but I contacted a seller on Ebay that lists J&L Ti Speedplay spindles to enquire about whether or not J&L was going to offer spindles for the new Wahoo pedals and this is the response:
New message from: lan28033 (39,423TurquoiseShooting Star)
yes
we are planning to do the axles for Wahoo Speedplay now
we have ordered some Wahoo Speedplay pedals from Wahoo
and I think I will receive them 2 weeks later
once we have them ready
I will list on eBay
thank U

Finally, Wahoo replaced my pedals and admit that this "play" should not be there. I got the new ones, and there is no play at all. Let's see how long that lasts. I'll keep you updated.

Well, that didn't last long, 2nd ride, and boom the problem appeared again on a brand new set wahoo zero. The play is on both sides. I Think wahoo should recall all these pedals and use another year or so to get this right.

My left pedal has felt weird, saw this thread and sure enough side to side play. I bought them on Facebook market as I was curious to try Speedplay, hopefully they will replace without an original invoice

I bought from wiggle instead of marketplace because of the issue, easy for me to return em if issues.

I'm looking out for Ti spindles so if anybody hears about a place to buy them let me know and I'll give them a twirl and report the findings.. the pedals arrive tomorrow so I'll add some weights up here.

You can't exchange spindles in new Wahoo Speedplay pedals, only in the generation before originally from Speedplay... Maybe in months, when Chinese produce it...

Pretty sure that is what was implied as I had posted earlier in the thread that replies from a couple Ebay sellers had indicated that companies like J&L were working on it.
