Ball Bearings in ACTS Pedal Set??

I got the new pedals from Actlabs and love em but for the stickiness
that has started to grow with use...Ive tried using lithium grease and
it doesnt go away...I was wondering if anyone has attempted to add
ball bearings to the pedals...Jens Schumacher has added bearings to
LWFF wheels for a good price and I feel that Many people here would
purchase a bearing kit for ACTS new pedal set also.

Any comments??

Are you speaking of the High Performance pedals or the ones that come with
the RS stock?
 I have the Hi perf but only have had em for a little over two weeks. So far
they're excellent.
  The stock pedals could probably use a bearing kit to make them useable.
They're very poor even with the mods at Slottweaks.
  Best,

  Yes,I was posting about the "Performance Clutch Pedals" from
ACT...They are yearning for a Ball Bearing upgrade for sure since I
just stripped the screws that hold the plastic bearing in place:(...Im
gonna drill out these***taps and just put long bolts and secure
with nuts on bottom for now

 I figure that these pedals would scream quality if they had Bearing
set like Jens has done for the LWFF...Jens would benefit,we the users
would benefit and finally ACT would benefit since their pedals could
be upgraded to much better "built to last "pedals if they so desire to
upgrade.

  Jens,if your reading,care to comment:)))
