thats the only problem, and i think a pretty major one.. what else were you thinking could go wrong, there a piece of metal with a thread... and a spline not exactly technicaly pieces of equipment.


just locktite the pedal in problem-o solved.

yeah ky jelly, i mean whoops must have other 'shit' on my mind.(cough cough)

yup loctite, probaly dont get anything to strong, just need some threadlock/nutlock one, alot of people will have it in their garage im sure you could ask around, if not its about 10-15 bucks from a hardware store/tool shop.


remember stronger isnt always better, some of those loctites you would need a 4 foot bar to get undone, which can not be good for your cranks when taking the pedals off.

thanks man

[chesty]

also wether or not you personally would care though your pedals would feel really weird. mainly coz the platform of the pedals are designed to go one way (the right way). a guy i know did it and he said it felt really bad. but wateva.

wont work because when you pedal the pedals will come loose because they are threaded to tighten when you pedal so they don't come loose


SO they will most defiantly come loose

[spaz]

so how does the thread work in flip flop cranks then, but yeah im getting eastern plastics and they are mirror pedals, so yeah they might come loose but they want feel strang to pedal on though

:D cheers chives :D

[thefrogg]

flipflop cranks have a sprocket bolt thread hole on both cranks

[spaz]

Oh no shit

[thefrogg]

shut your anorexic mouth you have no idea what you are talking about

shut your anorexic mouth you have no idea what you are talking about

more like you have no idea what HE is talking about.


YOU said the pedals will come loose because the thread will be going the other way.

THIS was already mentioned and will be fixed with loctite.


leave your diet problems out of this you tub.
