Hey ya’ll!
I play a Sho Bud Pro 1 that has the narrow pedals and I find myself slipping a fair amount. I have removed all spacers in between each pedal so I am at a loss of how to get them closer together. Does anyone know if it is possible to swap an earlier sho bud model’s wider pedals onto my Pro 1? And if so, where should I look to get some?
Much appreciated!

Yea it is possible. If you have spacers it likely had the wide pedals and was swapped for the narrow ones at some point. The wide pedals have the same shaft diameter but the mount the shaft goes through is a little wider than the one on the narrow pedals. If you had spacers that were about 3/8 inch wide or so between the narrow pedals then the wide ones should work. A picture of your current pedals would help determine if it would work.

As Jason said, the older style pedals are wider on the axle, about ~2-11/16" vs. 2-1/2" for the narrow pedals. The length and geometry are different too but you can adjust things to compensate. In any case, the center to center spacing of the pedals should match the spacing of the cross shafts they connect to, so measuring that is a good place to start.

Problem is the original bud pedals are getting hard to find these days, and scrounging up enough of them for a changeover might be tough to do, and costly.
Many originals I have seen are very worn as well.
Not sure if anyone anywhere is reproducing them, but I see a lot more people looking for them than I see selling them... bob
