PEDALS ASSEMBLY
Check for the right (R, red) sticker and left (L, green) sticker on each pedal and crank arm. Match the appropriate
pedal to each crank (right to right and left to left) for assembly. Start each pedal spindle by hand to avoid stripping
the threads. Tighten with a 15 mm narrow open ended wrench so that the shoulder of the pedal spindle is securely
tightened against the crank arm. The right side pedal has right-hand (clockwise) threading. The left pedal has left-hand
(counterclockwise) threading.
Attachment of an incorrect pedal into a crank arm will cause irreparable damage. Unless the shoulder of the pedal
spindle is tight to the face of the crank arm, the pedal may back out causing serious injury or death. Make it tight so
the shoulder is in complete contact with the surface of the crank arm and the pedal spindle shoulder bites into the
metal of the crank. Before your first ride, please check to ensure your pedals are attached correctly.
