Full details
The Oxford Resin MTB Pedals are designed for the everyday cyclist looking for durable and reliable replacement pedals without a high cost. They offer a straightforward upgrade for most adult bicycles, providing essential features like a sturdy resin body, a standard 1/2" boron axle, and integrated reflectors for increased visibility. While they offer excellent value, they are best suited for general trail riding and commuting, rather than extreme mountain biking due to their resin construction.

FAQs
Are these pedals suitable for mountain biking?
These pedals are suitable for general trail riding and commuting. For aggressive mountain biking or downhill, pedals with metal construction and more aggressive grip might be preferable.
What size axle do these pedals have?
These pedals have a standard 1/2" boron axle, which is compatible with most adult bicycles.
How do I install these pedals?
Installation involves greasing the threads and screwing them into the crank arms. The right pedal tightens clockwise, and the left pedal tightens counter-clockwise, using a pedal wrench for secure fitting.
Are the reflectors replaceable?
The reflectors are integrated into the pedal body and are not designed to be individually replaced. Keep them clean for optimal visibility.
Can I use these pedals on a child's bike?
These pedals are designed for adult bikes with standard 1/2" crank arm threading. Children's bikes may have different axle sizes (e.g., 9/16"), so please check your bike's specifications.
How should I clean these pedals?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid high-pressure washing.
What is the material of the pedals?
The pedals are made with a durable resin body and a boron steel axle.
Troubleshooting
Pedals feel loose after installation
Ensure the pedals are tightened securely with a pedal wrench. Re-grease the threads and tighten again, checking for correct thread direction (clockwise for right, counter-clockwise for left).
Pedals are difficult to thread into crank arms
Verify you are using the correct pedal (left/right) and threading it in the correct direction. Ensure there is no debris in the crank arm threads. Do not force the threads; if resistance is high, back them out and try again.
Noise or grinding from pedals during rotation
This may indicate issues with the internal bearings. If cleaning and re-greasing does not resolve the noise, the pedals may need to be replaced.
Reflectors are dirty or obstructed
Clean the reflector surfaces with a damp cloth. Ensure no mud or debris is blocking their view.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
These pedals feature a standard 1/2" boron axle, which is compatible with the vast majority of adult bicycles, including most mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, and road bikes. Ensure your bicycle's crank arms have the corresponding 1/2" thread.
Setup:
- Identify the left and right pedals. The left pedal usually has an 'L' marking and threads counter-clockwise, while the right pedal has an 'R' marking and threads clockwise.
- Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads to prevent seizing.
- Screw the pedals into the crank arms by hand initially to ensure proper threading.
- Use a pedal wrench (typically 15mm) to tighten the pedals securely. Remember to tighten the right pedal clockwise and the left pedal counter-clockwise.
Care:
- Clean the pedals regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
- Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the pedals, as this can force water into the bearings.
- Periodically check that the pedals are securely tightened.
- If you notice any stiffness or noise from the bearings, they may require servicing or replacement.
