Talk to me about pedal spindles.

(1/2) > >>

Juju:
Got the opportunity to buy some nos Diamond Back pedals.   Seeing as I have 3 Diamond Backs, with 1 more frame and fork on the way, this is a good thing.  However, the pedals I want are only available in 9/16 and I plan on using them with a 1pc which requires a 1/2 thread guage.

How easy is it to get pedal spindles. Are pedal spindles fairly standard, and can I change one for the other? Is it easy? do I also need different size bearings?

Look forward to hearing from you guys.

 :) Don`t know how easy it is to get spindles,but have swapped loads over to get 9/16 &1/2 sets.Wellgo make shedloads of pedals for almost every other company these days & these can cost from as little as£8 new,good for donor parts.Halfrauds & some bike shops also sell replacement pedal bearing sets for not much £.

Juju:
I suppose that  I've been imagining the spindles themselves are different - logically thinking, its only going to be the "threads" on the spindles that vary....  not the whole spindle *doh*!

Well I was never very practical....

g_lamb:
is 9/16 bigger than 1/2?  :-[ If so they could be tap and die'd????  ???

sparky:
Juju,

It depends on the pedals you want to change the spindles on, The DB MKS use standard MKS spindles and are different to the SR type pedal.
