Product Information

Full details

This guide is for cyclists seeking lightweight, durable pedals for road or urban riding. The Oxford Sealed Bearing Low Profile Pedals offer a smooth rotation and compatibility with toe clips, with a key benefit being their 275g weight per pair. A potential consideration is that they are designed for standard 9/16" axles and may require a specific pedal wrench for installation.

FAQs

What size axle do these pedals use?

These pedals use the standard 9/16" axle size, which is compatible with most modern bicycles.

Are these pedals suitable for mountain biking?

While they are durable alloy pedals, their low-profile design and toe clip compatibility make them better suited for road, commuting, or light trail use rather than aggressive mountain biking where platform grip is paramount.

How do I clean the pedals?

Wipe the alloy body and cage with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water jets directly on the bearings.

What is the weight of these pedals?

The pedals weigh approximately 275 grams per pair.

Can I use these pedals without toe clips?

Yes, you can use these pedals without toe clips. They function as standard platform pedals in that configuration.

Do these pedals come with reflectors?

The product description does not mention reflectors, so they are likely not included.

How long do the sealed bearings typically last?

Sealed bearings are designed for longevity and low maintenance. Lifespan depends heavily on riding conditions and care, but they generally offer extended service life compared to unsealed bearings, provided the seals remain intact.

Troubleshooting

Pedals feel stiff or don't spin freely

This could be due to overtightening, debris in the threads, or internal bearing issues. Ensure they are not overtightened and check crank arm threads. If the issue persists, the sealed bearings may need replacement.

Pedals wobble or have play

Check if the pedals are fully tightened onto the crank arms. If tightening does not resolve the play, the sealed bearings may be worn out and require replacement.

Difficulty installing pedals

Ensure you are using the correct pedal for the correct side (left/right) and threading direction. Use a proper pedal wrench and apply grease to the threads. If resistance is met, stop and check for cross-threading.

Toe clips do not fit securely

Ensure you are using standard toe clips and straps designed for pedals with cage mounts. Check that the clips are correctly aligned and secured to the pedal cage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Very lightweight at 275g per pair.
  • Sealed bearings provide good protection and smooth action.
  • Durable alloy construction.
  • Standard 9/16" axle fits most bikes.
  • Compatible with toe clips for enhanced performance.

Cons

  • May require a specific pedal wrench for installation.
  • Low profile might offer less grip for riders who prefer larger platforms.
  • Alloy body may show scuff marks over time.
  • Not designed for extreme mountain biking conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • These pedals feature a standard 9/16" axle thread, making them compatible with the vast majority of modern bicycles, including road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrids, and cruisers.
  • They are toe clip compatible, meaning you can attach standard toe clips and straps if desired.

Setup:

  1. Identify the left and right pedals. The left pedal is typically marked with an 'L' and has a reverse thread (tightens counter-clockwise), while the right pedal is marked with an 'R' and has a standard thread (tightens clockwise).
  2. Clean the crank arm threads.
  3. Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads.
  4. Thread the pedals in by hand to ensure they are not cross-threaded. The right pedal tightens clockwise, and the left pedal tightens counter-clockwise.
  5. Use a pedal wrench (usually 15mm) or an Allen key (if applicable to your specific crankset) to fully tighten the pedals securely. Refer to your bicycle's manual for specific torque recommendations if available.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the alloy body and cage with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh solvents.
  • Bearings: The sealed bearings are designed for low maintenance. If you notice excessive resistance or play, it may indicate the seal has been compromised. In such cases, replacement is usually recommended over repair due to the cartridge design.
  • Inspection: Periodically check that the pedals are securely tightened to the crank arms.
