Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your DMR V8 pedals, you will need an 8mm hex wrench. Always apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads before installing them into your crank arms to prevent seizing.
Important Torque Specification: Ensure you tighten the pedals to the crank arms between 40-55Nm to prevent loosening while riding.
For ongoing care, keep the DU bushings clean and lubricated. Periodically check that all pins are tight and replace any that become damaged. Because the pedals are fully serviceable, you can replace the internal bushes should you notice any play developing over time.
