Apr 2, 2002 6:25 PM | | im a horrible mechanic and im trying to get my current platform pedals off the cranks to replace them with better ones. i tried using a wrench to twist it off. should i just take it to the shop? or should this be very easy? |

And it's gonna be a bugger to get it off now that you've tightened it but just go for it. |

Apr 3, 2002 6:39 AM | | I'm sure someone by now has explained that the laft pedal is threaded backwards, I just wanted to poke fun. It's too damn early for any serious thought just yet... I'm off in search of caffeine. |
