Product Information
Full details
The HT Components PA03A Flat Pedals are designed for mountain bikers who demand a balance of lightweight construction and reliable grip on technical trails. Featuring a slim 18mm composite profile and a generous platform, they offer excellent foot support and increased confidence during aggressive riding; however, riders should note that while the steel pins are replaceable, the composite body may be more prone to deep scratches compared to high-end aluminum alternatives.

FAQs
What tools are needed for installation?
You need an 8mm hex key to install these pedals onto your crank arms.
Are the grip pins compatible with other brands?
It is recommended to use official HT replacement pins to ensure the correct thread pitch and height.
Are these pedals suitable for downhill racing?
While durable, they are primarily designed for trail and all-mountain use.
How do I know which pedal is for the left side?
The left pedal is marked with an 'L' on the end of the axle and features reverse threads.
Can I replace the steel pins if they wear down?
Yes, each side features 8 steel pins that can be removed and replaced with a standard hex or socket tool.
Does the composite body chip easily?
It is impact-resistant, but like all pedals, it will show cosmetic wear from rock strikes over time.
Troubleshooting
Pedal feels gritty or stiff during rotation
Check for debris caught in the seal. If persistence continues, the sealed bearings may require maintenance or replacement.
Loosening pins after hard riding
Use a small amount of blue thread-locking compound on the pin threads when re-installing or replacing them.
Difficulty removing pedals from crank arms
Ensure you are turning the left pedal clockwise to loosen. If stuck, use a pedal wrench with a longer handle for better leverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the PA03A pedals requires a standard 8mm hex wrench. Always apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads before installing them into your crank arms to prevent seizing. Note that the left pedal is reverse-threaded. To care for your pedals, check the steel pins periodically for tightness; if a pin is damaged during a ride, use a socket or pliers to unscrew it and replace it to maintain consistent grip levels. Clean the pedals after muddy rides using a soft brush and mild soap to keep the sealed bearings free of grit, avoiding high-pressure water spray which can bypass bearing seals.
