PEDALS AND CRANKS
Each pedal is intended for installation either onto a left or right crank
arm. The pedal bearing the symbol “R” is intended for installation onto
the right crank arm (crank with chainset) and is tightened by turning to
the right. The pedal marked “L” is intended for installation onto the left
crank arm and is tightened by turning to the left (see pic.). The
aforementioned symbols are usually stamped onto the front surface of
the pedal axis.
The converse procedure applies for removal.
The crank arms are attached to the ends of the bottom bracket axis
(see pic.)
using screws (or nuts)
.
The screws must be periodically
checked and their tightness assured. Have this inspection carried out at
least once a year by a specialised retailer.
A special tool is usually required to disassemble the crank arms from
the end of the bottom bracket axis.
