Title: 9/16" PEDAL QUESTION.....
Post by: mclarenj on June 02, 2007, 05:41 PM

Is there anyway you can fit 9/16" pedals to a one piece crank ? Or will they just not fit ?

Thanks for reading.

A 9/16 inch spindle is physically larger than a 1/2 inch one the only way is to do as Dan says and swap out or re-thread but that would be difficult as the 9/16 thread would have to be removed first and if too much is taken off then there won't be anough metal to re-cut with the 1/2 inch thread  :daumenhoch:
