Determining Pedal Pod clearance
if the mounting face
1
surrounding the threaded hole in the crank
arm is recessed, use one or two washers
2
to fill the recess.
make sure the pedal pod mounting face
3
contacts the crank arm
only at its mounting face (or the washer used to fill the recess).
if it touches anywhere else, you can use another washer to provide
the necessary clearance.
if it is close, you can confirm proper clearance by sliding a piece of
paper between the metal bracket and the crank arm face.
if the mounting face of the crank arm is protruding, do not use
washers.
NOTE
Do not use more than two washers.
TIP
The pedal pod should contact the crank arm only at its mounting
face, because this is the load-bearing connection. If the pedal
pod contacts the crank arm anywhere else, the pedal pod may
fracture when the pedal is tightened.
Determining the Bicycle chain clearance
Before you can install the right pedal, you must determine bicycle
chain clearance. move your bike chain to the largest chain ring and
the smallest cassette gear. the bike chain should be in the outermost
position to determine proper clearance between the pedal pod cable
and the chain.
NOTE
There must be at least 5 mm clearance
1
between the
chain and the crank arm.
