Push the Pedal to the Metal!
By james | July 27, 2010
When purchasing a pit bike, it is usually all assembled – minus the pedals. This is something you can do yourself in just six easy steps and with only one tool, a pedal wrench or 15 millimeter wrench.
Step One: After removing all parts from the packaging, set the bike upside down on its handles and seat in the “ready to work” position.
Step Two: Find the drive side pedal, marked with the letter “R” or with clockwise threading, and lace it through the crank pedal-hole.
Step Three: Locate the non-drive side pedal and thread it into the pedal-hole in a counter-clockwise motion.
Step Four: Use your pedal wrench or 15 millimeter wrench on the drive side pedal and turn in the counter-clockwise direction to tighten into the crank.
Step Five: Use the same tool and tighten the non-drive side pedal spindle with a clockwise motion.
Step Six: Test your pit bike on an easy ride to ensure your pedals are properly tightened. If it feels right to you, start riding!
