Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by verslagen1 on 01/18/10 at 11:21:10 Did you weld those up, or did they come that way? Those shafts are usually pretty hard. Becarefull, they may have lost their temper. |

Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by bill67 on 01/18/10 at 11:21:27 I think they look cool. 8-) |

Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by Paladin. on 01/18/10 at 11:43:48 Very interesting -- not stupid. The wider surface should be more comfortable on a long ride. And the "spin" means they rock to accommodate any foot angle. |

Vman - I agree totally with you if they were high quality pedals. Having fixed a friends cheapey bike I can tell you the cheap stuff is soft as can be. We even did a trail side pedal and crank straighten with our hands! I am guessing these are a lot more like mild steel than you and I were used to on our bikes as kids. Serowbot - good job they look great! |

Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by T Mack 1 - FSO on 01/19/10 at 03:38:49 Are they comfortable? Did you take the bike for a "spin"? :D |

Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by rigidchop on 01/19/10 at 08:00:32 i just wonder if they will vibrate more? |
|
Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by Serowbot on 01/19/10 at 08:32:29 The spindles are cro-mo steel... but, I did jump up and down on them , to test for strength... Took a short test ride, and they are very comfortable, but do have a fraction more vibes... the variable foot angle is neat, and may help comfort on longer rides... The stockers are hard to beat for vibe reduction, they have an air cushion under the footpad... but, I think these are less vibey than aftermarket "o-ring" pegs or footboards... Mostly,... I wanted a unique, old school look... |

Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by mick on 01/19/10 at 19:46:38 Serowbot, Do your lady passengers sit side saddle ? does she then whack you with her crop to make you go faster, those peddles are very kinky, didn't I ID something off those peddles a while back ?. I guess they look ok ,once again not my cup of tea. And that was a fire exstingusher on the antique Harley,so there ! |

Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/19/10 at 20:39:41 Have you checked to see the max RPM you can get outta those pedals with a tight nozzle on a water hose? |

Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by bill67 on 01/20/10 at 11:05:25 I oil my petals and everything else on my bicycle with Precision Bike Lube, Synthetic Road Bike Racing Lube,Its surprising even what oiling the petals do. |

Title: Re: Pedal power... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/20/10 at 11:15:11 & I just went with Campagnallo grease in the wheel & crank arm & head bearings & 3 in one oil on the chain, derailleurs & pedals. Literally running on the pedals in 10th gear, going down Congress avenue in Austin Tx, I hit a speed that was so high it took almost a block to "turn" 3 feet to the left. That lube was sufficient to reach speeds that nearly got me KILLT! |
