CHECK GEARS
(A) Bicycles have specific left and right pedals, and
the left-hand side pedal has an opposite thread on
it, meaning that it tightens up in a counterclockwise
direction. You need to make sure that you have the
correct pedal for each side of your bike. You will see
on the pedal axle CR-R (or R) for the right and CR-L
(or L) for the left. The right-hand (drive-side) pedal
tightens up normally in a clockwise direction.
As mentioned the left-hand (non-drive side) pedal
tightens up in a counterclockwise direction (B) .
Be cautious that the pedals are installed nice
and straight, being careful not to cross thread the
crankarms. A spot of grease on the thread is good to
use here. You can use either a 6mm Allen key or a
15mm spanner/wrench and tighten to 47-54Nm.
Now is a good time to run through the gears to check
that they are working correctly. To do this turn the
cranks/pedals so that the rear wheel begins to spin.
Whilst still pedaling the bike with your hand shift
through the gears using the gear shifter on the right-
hand side of your handlebars (C) (being careful not to
trap anything in the chain or wheel). If you are having
any issues with the gears, please check out our Tech
Video series on the INTENSE website.
