Installing Pedals (IMPORTANT)

Begin by identifying the right and left pedals. Look for "L" and "R" marking on axle or wrench flats. If no "L" and "R" marking are seen, use pedal thread direction to identify pedals. Left threaded pedals (threads sloping upward to the left) go to left crank. Right threaded pedals (threads sloping upward to the right) go to right crank.

a. Heavily grease threads of both pedals.
b. Using fingers on wrench flats, thread right side pedal into right crank. Use wrench to snug pedal.
c. Position wrench on flats for good mechanical advantage. Hold wrench with one hand while holding opposite crank with other. (Pedal the bike backward to install both left and right.)
d. Using opposite arm as second lever, tighten pedal. Repeat process for left pedal, but threading pedal counter-clockwise to install.

Please be very careful installing your pedals, improper installation will result in stripping the crank arm. Crank stripping is not covered under your bike warranty.
