Product Information
Full details
The Komodo Standard Curved Bicycle Pedals are designed for cyclists of all levels, offering durability and a comfortable ride with their smooth ball bearings and curved shape. While they provide a reliable upgrade for many bikes, their plastic construction means they may not be the ideal choice for extreme off-road conditions requiring maximum impact resistance. These pedals feature a tough plastic build, reflective strips for low-light visibility, and standard 9/16" threading for easy installation.

FAQs
What size threads do these pedals use?
These pedals use standard 9/16" (14mm) threads, which are compatible with most modern bicycles.
Are these pedals suitable for mountain biking?
They are suitable for light trail riding and general use. However, for aggressive off-road conditions with potential impacts, metal pedals might offer greater durability.
How do I know which pedal is left and which is right?
The right pedal (R) is typically marked and screws in clockwise. The left pedal (L) is also marked and screws in counter-clockwise.
How do I clean the pedals?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure washing.
What do the reflective strips do?
The reflective strips on each side enhance your visibility to motorists and other road users in low-light conditions, improving safety.
Can I replace the bearings if they wear out?
These pedals are designed with sealed ball bearings integrated into the body. While they are not user-serviceable for bearing replacement, they are built for durability under normal use.
Troubleshooting
Pedal squeaking or noisy rotation
This could be due to dry bearings or debris. Try applying a small amount of bike-specific lubricant around the spindle where it enters the pedal body. Ensure the pedal is securely tightened to the crank arm.
Pedal feels loose on the crank arm
The pedal may not be tightened sufficiently. Remove the pedal and re-install, ensuring the threads are clean and properly engaged before tightening firmly with a pedal wrench.
Difficulty installing pedals
Ensure you are using the correct pedal (left vs. right) and threading it in the correct direction (left pedal is counter-clockwise, right pedal is clockwise). Check that the crank arm threads are clean and free of damage.
Pros and Cons

- Durable construction for everyday use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pedals are designed for standard 9/16" (14mm) crank threads. To install, simply thread the right pedal clockwise into the right crank arm and the left pedal counter-clockwise into the left crank arm. Ensure they are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the threads. A pedal wrench is recommended for proper tightening.
Compatibility: Compatible with the vast majority of modern bicycles featuring standard 9/16" crank threads. This includes most road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, and city bikes.
Care: Clean the pedals with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water jets, which could damage the plastic or bearings. Periodically check that the pedals are securely attached and that the bearings continue to rotate smoothly. If resistance is felt, a small amount of bike lubricant can be applied to the bearing area, though full disassembly is not recommended for routine cleaning.
