crank/pedal dopey 1st build question!

[tickz]

Im on my 1st build. Building the one bike I wanted. 85 haro master, jubbly,
Ive been building parts up slowly for a couple of months now,been adding them as I go, but I would like to ask a daft question....I have redline flight cranks that I believe are the new ones, I have bought some Victor beartrap pedals but they slip inside the thread of the crank arms. I have heard the expression Half inch (no jokes!),is that what I need? these dont fit so can I get hold of mks white pedals in the corect diameter? and would that be a good choice?
Ohhh im in right pedal muddle me mind!

  You`re right.For a 3 piece crank you`ll need 9/16 thread pedals.1/2 inch are for 1 piece cranks and will "slip" and fall off.

[tickz]

so I need 9/16 pedals, did pedal manufacturers (of olde) sell both types?

[QUADROPHENIA]

yarp, look for shimano , suntour, kkt, ttk etc etc etc

[trasher]

most pedal makers back in the day did both size spindles

What do you think would be a good pedal for a white build?? I was thinking Shimano SX maybe in white?? its for a rider, or mks graphites in white?

What would you put on?

cheers

mks graphites are likes hen's teeth, be prepared to pay major funds for them... Shimano SX are good, as far as i know you could never get them in white but it doesnt mean you cant get them pwdercoated or painted yourself... they strip down easy enough.

depends what your going for white f+f with colored components or all white

I have a 85 master wearing its original paint and decals,has a few knocks and scratches and building as a rider. it seems that everything is white (white zeds,white forklifter,white crank,white kashi etc) so seems that I have to carry on the white theme. im gonna have the haro freestyle bars I have powdered so I guess I will powder some pedals and the same time?? shimano sx? I would like the dx but dont seem worth it for a rider/pub cruiser--whats reckon?   

[trasher]

maybe just a little colour ,pick one from the decals.
Then maybe the pedals and grips the same

Not really a fan of all white they tend to look a bit albino

There you go red pedals and grips to complete the albino look 

All the best with it dude
