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.
-
so I need 9/16 pedals, did pedal manufacturers (of olde) sell both types?
-
yarp, look for shimano , suntour, kkt, ttk etc etc etc
-
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?
-
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 :2funny:
All the best with it dude

KHE stimulatorz are the same as MKS graphites.
