Crankbrothers Easy Guide: How to Install Bike Pedals Step by Step | DIY Pedal Installation Tutorial

Installing bike pedals is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you install them correctly:
Tools and materials you'll need:

New pedals
Pedal wrench or Allen key (size may vary)
Grease or Anti-Seize (optional)
Towel or rag
Instructions:

Prepare Your Bike:
If you're replacing existing pedals, start by removing the old pedals. Use the appropriate wrench or Allen key to loosen and remove the pedals in a counterclockwise direction. Remember that the left pedal has a reverse thread, so you'll need to turn it clockwise to remove it.
Grease the Pedal Threads (Optional):

Applying a thin layer of grease or anti-seize to the pedal threads can help prevent corrosion and make future removal easier. However, some pedals come with pre-applied grease. If you choose to grease the threads, apply a small amount to the threads of the new pedals.
Identify Left and Right Pedals:

Most pedals are labeled with an "L" for the left pedal and an "R" for the right pedal. Make sure you install them on the correct sides.
Insert the Pedals:

Hold the pedal with the wrench or Allen key at the pedal axle. Align the pedal thread with the crankarm thread and start turning it in a clockwise direction for the right pedal (normal threading) and counterclockwise for the left pedal (reverse threading).
Use your hands to start threading the pedal, making sure the threads catch properly.
Tighten the Pedals:

Once the pedal is threaded by hand, use the pedal wrench or Allen key to tighten it further. Apply firm pressure to ensure the pedal is securely attached to the crankarm. The pedal should be snug, but be careful not to overtighten and damage the threads.
Repeat for the Other Pedal:

Follow the same steps to install the other pedal on the opposite crankarm.
Final Checks:

After installing both pedals, give them a final inspection to make sure they're securely attached and properly aligned. Double-check that the left pedal is on the left side and the right pedal is on the right side.
Test Ride:

Take your bike for a short test ride in a safe area to ensure the pedals are securely attached and functioning correctly.
Remember that proper installation of pedals is important for safety and performance.
