Pedals Installation
1. Identify left vs. right pedal
There is an “L” or "R” stamped into the axle (the threaded part that looks like a screw) (Figure. 4-1)
Please Note
: They are not the same!! Apply a small amount of grease if possible
2. Install the left-hand pedal firstly
You will have to screw it in counter-clockwise because the threading is the reverse of a normal screw.
Do this by slowly pedaling the cranks backward. If the pedal feels stiff, stop, and then re-try, it should
feel like a smooth motion. Please do not use the wrench until you are ready to tighten it for the final
few turns. Tighten it down until you can't anymore (Figure. 4-2).
Please Note
: Hand-tight is not sufficient. Use a tool. If the threads on the crank are stripped after riding,
it means the crank needs to replace. It is NOT covered by warranty.
3. Install the right-hand pedal
This one threads in clockwise, like a normal screw. Follow the same principals, as discussed in step 2 for
the left pedal (Figure. 4-3).
4. Wipe off any excess grease from around the crank.
