Add and Removing Pedals 

Any 9/16" pedal can be added to the Excy system, whether it’s 

for your hands or feet. To change the pedals you will need a 
15MM pedal wrench (we recommend the Park Tool PW-5 or a 
similar in quality bike wrench). 

To get started, fold Excy flat (in 

its closed position) and lay it on hard surface with the Excy name face down and the 

Rear (where the Keeper attaches) towards you. Use a cloth to protect your surface.

 

 

Remove Pedals 

Rotate the crank arms to position the pedal 

you are removing to be closest to you and 

against the hard surface. Put the wrench over 

the flats on the pedal axle right next to where 

it connects to the crank arm. Have the other 

end of the wrench towards you. Pull the 

wrench back towards you and also press the 

wrench down towards the hard surface. With 

your other hand, press and hold Excy down 

against the hard surface, as it will want to lift 

upward in response to your pulling/pressing 

on the wrench. Keep your fingers away from the direction you are moving the wrench. 

The pedal should start unthreading. Keep turning the pedal axle in that same direction 

until it is loose. Repeat for the other pedal / side. 

Adding Pedals 

Position Excy in the normal open operating 

position with the Excy name faced away from 

you. Most pedals have L or R (left or right) 

markings on them. Align the pedal axle threads 

with those in the crank arm, and rotate the 

pedal axle with your fingers to get started. 

Rotate such that the top of the pedal axle 

spins away from you ("forward" direction). Do 

the same for the other side. If the threads do 

not start, then most likely you have the wrong 
pedal for that side. Simply try it on the other 

side. After you have tightened the pedal treads 

as much as you can with your fingers, fold the 

system and lay it on a hard surface with the 

Excy name face down and use the wrench to 

continue turning in the forward direction 

(away from you) until the threads are as tight 

as you can make it. Repeat for the other pedal.
