Pedal Axle Change to 3PC

<< < (2/4) > >>

midschooljon:
As Danny says the main issue is length of spindle and more importantly the length of the thread on the end of it. Some of these plastic pedals are 10-15mm wider then DX's, and as a result dont have enough thread to tighten down the cones once you have trimmed them. Best bet is to go into a halfords with you pedals and place them on top of the plastics so you have a rough idea if they will work.

don't go with the plastic pedals, i bought a set to switch the axles and they were too short. ended up buying halfords one's which fitted perfect. they were for dx pedals though, not sure about peregrines but more than likely they will fit.

I'm sure Victor DX ones fit right in  ???

If they're the same length as DX ones Rob, then they'll need a trim. Dunno though as never used Victors as a donor.

Wayne Ryder:
I'm not sure this is a do-er after all.

Inside the pedals, there are needle bearings at the inside end and a sealed cartridge at the other. The axle itself looks to be made for the job, (from memory) when I swapped some DX and SX axles & bodies a few years back they looked pretty different to these.
Fate wouldn't let me risk it in any case, Halfrauds had a woeful selection of pedals on display.

So, maybe this isn't gonna fly and I look to a really strong 1-piece instead. The one I took out feels a bit heavy and is probably just steel. Any suggestions?
