Thanks a lot. This really helped. I had go buy an expensive bike and its pedals got loose. I came here so i wouldn't have to buy a new bike.

Great video. I like your style - good pace, editing and well explained. Just what I was looking for and now my pedals are spinning well again. Nice touch with re-using components too.

cheers from Gosford, north of Sydney Australia

Can I use the axle from one of those smaller threaded pedals and put it into the body of a bigger threaded pedal, answer plz,

@billballer13 hi billy

@billballer13 I love answering peoples questions!

Yes you can swap pedal axles from pedals with the different sized threads. I did that exact job a few years ago. Usually the hardware inside all pedals are really similar. The only major thing I've noticed that you should watch out for when combine parts from dissimilar pedals is the length of the Pedal axle. Make sure that they have a similar axle length. Let me know how it goes.

@cjhoyle i did it! the only thing is that the axle from the bigger threaded pedal was to short to put on my other pedal, but thats ok because the longer one still fit in the shorter axles body. worked out just fine in the end. thanks for the response though.

@billballer13 Oh ok awesome, I'm glad to hear that it worked out! Thanks for watching!

[MindOfPagan]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I think. I hope.

Thanks!

My pedals don't have holes at the end to enable a socket wrench in...rubbish!

thanks for video my older mountain bike same right side pedal is really lose and makes noises when i press down on it

its awesome to in your videos you use regular tools most people have in other videos they always have special tools you need to buy

[traingp7]

Good video. But I have to say those are like 15 dollar junk pedals totally not worth fucking with instead of buying a better set of pedals with cartridge bearings and made entirely out of alloy except for the spindle. I understand your showing how to take a pedal apart and overhaul it I just wish you were doing it to a descent expensive pedal which are the only ones worth fixing instead of these pedals that are just junk. Most hard core riders are using clipless pedals these days as well.

[cjhoylemusic]

@traingp7 These pedals are from my commuting bike. For that bike, the weight of my pedals certainly isn't a concern. Also, I try not to invest very much money into bikes that I leave locked up in public places, less for me to lose if it ever gets stolen. I have clipless pedals on my mountain bike, but when I'm riding around town I prefer just wearing my regular shoes and this style of pedals.

I don't like to let anything go to waste. Anything is worth fixing if there is still life left in it!

Thanks, mate. Part 2 of your video really helped me visualise how the cone and locknut combination works whilst I was trying to tighten the loose bearings in my pedal. Good Work, Fella.
