FAQs
Are these pedals suitable for road cycling?
These are flat pedals primarily designed for enhanced grip in varied conditions. For competitive road cycling that relies on clipless systems for power transfer, these might not be the optimal choice. They are excellent for commuting, touring, and general recreational cycling.
How do I know which pedal is for the left and which is for the right?
Pedals are marked with 'L' for the left crank arm and 'R' for the right crank arm. The left pedal has reverse threading (tightens counter-clockwise) and the right pedal has standard threading (tightens clockwise).
Can I use these pedals with any bike?
Yes, as long as your bike has the standard 9/16" pedal thread size, which is nearly universal across all modern bicycles.
How do I clean the serrated cages?
Use a stiff brush to remove mud and debris, followed by a damp cloth. For stubborn grime, a mild soap and water solution can be used, but ensure the pedals are dried thoroughly afterward.
What is the weight of these pedals?
Each pedal weighs approximately 250g, making them a relatively lightweight option for their robust construction.
Do these pedals come with reflectors?
Yes, each pedal is equipped with dual reflectors on the sides to improve your visibility in low-light conditions.
Can I attach toe clips and straps?
Yes, these pedals are designed to be toe clip compatible and work perfectly with BBB Cycling's NoseTight BPD-95 and Bike & Tight BPD-30 systems.
Troubleshooting
Pedal feels loose or wobbly
Check if the pedal is securely threaded into the crank arm. If it is, the bearing adjustment may be loose. Service the bearings or consult a bike mechanic.
Difficulty installing pedal
Ensure you are using the correct pedal (L/R) and threading it in the correct direction (clockwise for right, counter-clockwise for left). Apply a small amount of grease to the threads before installation.
Slipping despite serrated surface
Ensure your shoe soles are clean and not excessively worn. Check for any mud or debris on the pedal cage that might be impeding grip.
Pedal does not spin freely
The bearings may be too tight or require lubrication. Loosen the bearing adjustment slightly or service the bearings with appropriate grease.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip in wet and dry conditions due to serrated cages.
- Durable construction with cold-forged aluminum body and CrMo axle.
- Increased visibility with integrated dual reflectors.
- Compatible with common toe clips for added versatility.
- Lightweight design without compromising strength.
Cons
- Flat pedal design may lack the security of clipless systems for some riders.
- Loose ball bearings can be less durable than sealed cartridge bearings over time.
- Metal cages, while providing grip, can potentially scuff shoe soles.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These pedals use a standard 9/16" spindle thread. To install, identify the 'L' (left) and 'R' (right) markings on each pedal spindle. The left pedal typically has reverse threading (tightens counter-clockwise), and the right pedal has standard threading (tightens clockwise). Use a 6mm hex wrench on the flat inside the spindle end or a pedal wrench on the flats of the spindle. Ensure pedals are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening.
Compatibility:
- Bike Type: Suitable for any bicycle with standard 9/16" pedal thread.
- Toe Clips: Compatible with BBB Cycling BPD-95 NoseTight and BPD-30 BikeTight toe clips and straps.
Care:
- Clean regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check bearing tension. If the pedal feels loose, adjust the lockring carefully. If excessive play or grinding occurs, the bearings may need servicing or replacement.
- After riding in wet or muddy conditions, wipe down the pedals and check for any debris lodged in the cage.
