Hello I'm writing you from Colombia!, first thanks for all the videos that you upload!, I really love to watch it all day. secondly, I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I just buy a wellgo clip pedal to my road bike. It comes with two pair of …what I call "magnetic rings" that I really don't know how to use it. I hope you can help me.
Yours truly.
as i was riding with my new pedals, my left pedal stripped out of the crank arm. Threads in the crank arm are gone. rookie mistake? what did I do wrong?
hey, that's pretty good.
Thanks for the advice now I have my fully broken bike pedal off
OMG!!! i knew i wasnt going mad… or really weak lol.
Easy logic when someone explains but never would have guessed it wouldn't be the same way for both.
Thanks a lot!
So any crank can fit any peddles?
just started clicking yesterday and I've been able to do maintenance on everything except for that FUCKING PEDAL >->

fuck me and my pedal >:(((
Is it really correct, when Dan says in the beginning of the video that "during riding the pedals will rotate in a way that they will unscrew, because otherwise you would never get then off"?
I was always of the different opinion that they get tighter when you ride as otherwise there would be the danger of falling off.
yo skip to 1 minute so you dont have to listen to non sence fuckery

thanks wayne gretsky
Just wanted to say thanks for this video. I was looking for the position of the crank arm and tool to stop everything spinning and this showed me all I needed to know.
my are to tight to take off what do I do
GRRRRR currently having a fight and shouting match with my drivetrain pedal as the little f***er won't come off. Highly frustrating.
First time changing mine. This video definitely helped!
No place for an allen key like in the demonstration… guess i have a different kind of pedal
I placed my bike exactly like in the video and the non-drive side worked fine but the drive side didn't, took my bike to my local bikeman and he pushed opposite of the video, so it's not 100 % correct.
what type of "high quality grease" do you mean? would wd-40 work fine? that's all I have
try doing this with pedal rustet shut 10years
The part about the pedals trying to loosen themselves is incorrect. It's a bit counterintuitive, but the way the pedals thread on actually causes them to tighten them as you pedal. It's not because of friction, but something called "mechanical precession" This is very apparent on unicycles, which use the same crank interface but don't have chainrings. it's easy to install the cranks on the wrong sides (or mount the whole wheel backwards). Beginners will frequently do this, and it causes the pedals to loosen and/or fall off. If you install your pedals on your bike too loose, they will actually stay on fine (because of the threading direction), they will just make noises, and cause some excessive thread wear as it frets slightly due to the thread clearance.
Just changed my pedals. Thanks a bunch.
before I watch this vid, is there any stupid special tools for this ?
Waste of time trying to use the allen key. Get a wrench on that pedal neck
I got the left side off. I used a tube Metal broomstick for leverage, but on that one. I tried the same and the allen key kept slipping and now the pedal hex are getting mangled. What is the fix, am I going to get a new crank set?
helllllllppppppp
i have tried everything the tool wd40 wrenches hammers weeks of hammering it wont budge!!!!!
fuck me. I broke my wrench because i was unscrewing the wrong way.
Many thanks for excellent instructions; worked like a charm, regardless that I didn't have the special tool with a long arm for a leverage.17mm wrench was not as snag as desired, but did the job.
Thank you!
hey how its called the metal that holds the pedal together
Thank you very much for your instructional videos, they are all excellent.
This one enabled me to competently change my pedals at home.
any advice for rusted hex hole?
Hiya GCN. May I ask what high quality grease you would recommend please ? Or anyone else please ?
good video, unforturnatley i didnt have a "spanner" so needed to take it to a bike shop,.
Regular old wrench wouldnt do it!
Simply cannot get my drive side pedals off. At this point I'm about to just chuck the whole bike in the fuckin river! ARRGHH
Great video. Thank you!
Really helpful instructions, i finally replace my old pedals, thanks!
How tight do the pedals need to be? I ask because my local bike fitter installed pedal extenders/spacers which can be wrench tightened but only allow for the pedal to be finger tightened. I've been told that it's dangerous and I should return them. Thanks! @Global Cycling Network
