Pedal Axle Change to 3PC

(1/4) > >>

Wayne Ryder:
I know there's been mention on here of buying Halfords pedals for the axles, but that looks like it was specific to DXs. And they were probably in steel, not CRMO.
I've got some 90s Peregrine pedals for 1PC, need to know if there's a known source for a 3PC compatible CRMO axle that'll fit with minimum faff. My Basher's almost done, just needs the pedals sorting and I'm away.

Dannywhac:
I've mentioned this before I think - you can use DX type axles, but they need a trim normally. Check the ones side by side you've got, but from memory I've have to dremel off the top three threads on the DX axles to fit the Perrys. Thread a nut down before dremelling so it cleans the threads when you've dremelled though  :daumenhoch:

Wayne Ryder:
Thanks, matey. I do remember that, but I didn't know if it was a general rule or specific to one type/brand of pedal. Also, I can't afford to experiment, so it has to be right first time and doubly-sure to work. Plus, I'm carrying a bit more timber than when I was in my 20s, so they've got to support over 15 stone of bad rider (or Ryder, even).

Are there any that definitely won't work and shouldn't try?

Dannywhac:
I've used Wellgo ones for deffo, other brands dunno fella  :daumenhoch:

Wayne Ryder:
Do they have to be alloy? These look likely candidates if not:
