Installing New Road Bicycle Pedals
Installing new pedals yourself is quick and easy.
You will need the following
* Allen key and/or pedal wrench
* Grease
Removing the old pedals:
Removing the old pedals from your crank can be easily done with either the bike on the floor or in a work stand.
Note: Pedals like the Look Keo Carbons do not accept a pedal wrench. These pedals will require an Allen key that can be placed in the spindle from the back side. Be careful you might have a cadence magnet in there – so remove it before you attempt to remove the pedal.
If using a work stand, place your hand on the Rear Wheel or grab the brake to stop the wheel from spinning.
The right pedal will come off just like any other bolt system you’ve used. Turning the spindle counter clockwise (left) will loosen the pedal. However, the left pedal is reversed threaded and will need to be turned clockwise (right) to loosen. Don’t be surprised if you need to put your shoulder into it; water and time may have removed the grease, causing them to stick.
Installing the new pedals:
With the old pedals removed, clean out the threads on your Crank Arm – removing any dirt or old grease. Grab your grease and new pedals. Place a strip of grease on both threads of the pedals.
With the new pedals greased use your fingers to catch the threads and snug them up to your crank arm. Avoid using tools until they are finger tight. Remember the left pedal is reversed thread. Take your time, there is nothing as disappointing as stripping your crank.
With your new pedals finger tightened take your Allen key or pedal wrench and snug them up to your crank arm. Typically a quarter or half turn passed finger tight is enough. When they are firmly in place use a rag to wipe up the excess grease. Now recheck your pedals, ensuring they are firmly in place.
On your first few rides check your pedals to ensure they are still snug against your crank.
If you do a lot of wet weather riding it may be prudent to remove your pedals and apply new grease from time to time. If you’ve ever had your pedals seize to a crank arm you’ll know why it’s worth the extra effort.

Looking to buy a Carbon Road Bike?
I’ve been riding for about one year now. I currently ride a Jamis Venture Comp. Alu frame, carbon forks. I was interested in upgrading to a carbon framed bike. I want to spend around $2,000. Any recommendations?
Carbon fiber has a slight weight advantage and distinct ride advantage for long races. This is because CF dissipates shock if properly designed.
But CF bikes are plagued by fragility during life’s little oops moments. A simple sideways fall and nicking a sharp object can ruin a frame. And most of the time you are left with nothing more than the choice of getting a new frame, albeit at a reduced cost but still expensive. Ironicly the fork is a safer place for CF because the wheel tends to rotate away from these dangers. Oh, and many warranties exclude racing with a race bike. Go figure.
If you like your current bike’s fit, you might want to upgrade some components instead. A CF or Titanium Seatpost (again, a safer place for CF than the frame) is a worthwhile investment. Even something as simple as upgrading your tires to Continental GP4000S could be a significant improvement.
If you still want to go CF, then Giant makes nice frames for themselves and a lot of other companies. But I’d check with the dealer about how they handle the warranty.
