How to Install Pedals on Your Mountain Bike: A Step-by-Step Guide
To install pedals on a mountain bike, first remove any existing pedals by turning them counterclockwise with a pedal wrench. Ensure the threads on the pedals and crank arms are clean and free of debris, then apply grease to where the pedals will screw in. Thread in the pedals, making sure they are tight, but not over-tightened as that can cause damage. The left pedal screws in counterclockwise, while the right pedal screws in clockwise. Test the pedals by spinning them, making sure they rotate smoothly.
