Did you notice if the NR pedals had been fit with races to take 1/8" bearings that the SR spindle uses, or was there a special titanium spindle to accomodate the 5/32" balls that go with normal NR races? I suppose that the third altermative is that these were thrown together with mismatched races/balls. Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if they came from the factory that way. The mismatching, if it was done, might not present any real problems.
