Shinamo DX 9/16 pedals - whats the score?

(1/2) > >>

punkdSICO:
Hi all

Whats the deal with the crazy priced DX pedals such as these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/190543573246

Is it because they are 9/16?  I thought all pedals had the same size thread?  If not, how do you know which cranks have which threads?

I search the Sticky but no joy..

ta,

Paul

wildon:
One piece cranks have 1/2 threads, 3 piece have 9/16

brummie:
1 piece crank 1/2" peds
3 piece crank 9/16 peds

rick1970:
Original DX 's are worth a good few quid anyway regardless of thread size  and seem to be getting quite rare too

punkdSICO:
ta for that - I did not know that (and I have just got a redline 3 piece).

So, 9/16 DX pedals demand much more than 1/2 pedals?  In the last 2 weeks or so, a list member sold some DX pedals on eBay for approx £185!  I presume the pedal can take either size spindle so, you could (in theory) just simply swap the spindle?

Im new to old school BMXing and Im still trying to come to terms with some of this stuff (like pedal thread sizes affecting price)  ???

ta,

Paul
