A pedal with a body that has two plates that can be easily removed or displaced to access the inner surfaces of the pedal and the backside of traction pins. In this way, traction pins can be replaced even after the pins have been worn out or broken. Also, the plates can be made out of a harder, more durable, more expensive material than the material of the body, because the plates are typically subjected to the most impact and abrasion because of the shape and location of the plates. Alternatively, the plates can be made of a relatively inexpensive material because the plates are easy to replace if worn or damaged. Also disclosed is a system for re-greasing the inside of the pedal including a screw-in end cap that can be removed, and a slot down the inside of the body that allows grease to flow around a sealed bearing.
