It’s always easy with a new bike and new pedal that isn’t overtightened. I wanna see someone take a pedal off that’s been on the bike for 20 years. They don’t show you that part do they? Gee! Wonder why?
what if my dam pedal is rusted on like a mofo? its horrible
what if the pedal is fucking stuck and u cant get it off!
Nice video…We got the same result…same wounds on our knuckles…
HaHaHa! All of you are funny! If you watch the video, he is going reverse to loosen it. In other words, the pedals are REVERSE THREAD! You guys are breaking your hands and wrists because YOUR GOING THE WRONG WAY!
Thanks for the great vid. It helped a lot to know which way to crank the wrench… it was difficult for sure but came off with no injury : )
if your pedal does not have the allen key slot then you will probably need a 15mm wrench,the slot for the wrench is on the axle of the pedal..most basic pedals have the 15mm slot..but seriously guys if ye cant take off a set of pedals!!
I smashed my fucking look pedal trying to take it off.ried to “persuade” it with a few gentle taps of a hammer and fcked it up……rrrraaaagggghhh.Ans its still stuck on.
mine rusted and i need help taking it off plss
yeah as drivenad says it is a nightmare removing pedals and it varies greatly in difficulty. I managed to remove my flat DMR V8 pedals because there is an allen key removal connection and somwhere for a wrench for double leverage but with my crank brother candy c’s there is only an allen key connection. nightmare.
i recommend that you use a flat pedal for a mountain bike, but it realy depends what you are doing on the mountain bike
does it matter what kind of pedals your using for a mtb?
if only it were that easy. He probably broke it loose before he filmed it. fuck that shit ain’t that easy. There’s one thing about instructional and its that nobody needs help with the obvious. it’s the trouble shooting we need help with.
man i know how u feel
what about pedals that are stocky and gay ass pieces of shit and dont have a 6mm alan wrench place.. and i think it has lock tight and my hand is about to fall off.. im trying to fix my friends bike.. and fuck its annoying
ur a fag
