INSTALLING THE PEDALS

 

a. 

Take note that the pedals are 

marked ‘R’ and ‘L’ for the right and left 
sides, respectively.

b. 

First, insert the right pedal 

(the 

pedal marked ‘R’)

 into the crank arm 

on the right (drive) side. 

 
 

c. 

Now slowly and gently turn the 

pedal spindle in a CLOCKWISE motion 
until the spindle catches the crank arm.
 

d.

 Finally, use your Pedal Wrench to 

fully tighten the spindle.  

(do not over tighten or you will strip 
your pedals)

 

 

e. 

Repeat the same process for the left 

pedal, this time turning your spindle 
in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE motion 
instead. 

(note: left hand pedal has 

reverse threads)
