trialsmax04 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi everyone,Just had a quick look over my Monty, and the left hand peadal has come loose. I know for a fact it was tight as anything at the weekend. So during my ride it has to have worked lose somehow. Anyone got tips on stopping this?

Pashley26 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Lock tight on the threads next time. If it still comes loose just buy a new crank arm. [/thread] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Opposite threads. Google it.You come out with some stupid shit sometimes.Not only that but pretty much every pedal on the market has L and R on the end of the axel.

Alex Dark Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 You come out with some stupid shit sometimes.Not only that but pretty much every pedal on the market has L and R on the end of the axel.sometimes?id say most of the time.....Pedals always loosen towards the rear of the bike...., eg top of the spanner pushes towards the back of the bike.As said above, loctite will be your best option, just make sure you get the stuff designed to be undone with hand-tools though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 What I do is just put the pedal on the edge of the thread then just pull the rear wheel backwards, tightens them up a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Cheers for the replys. Having worked on motorbikes for most of my life im fairly confedent with spanners and thred types .

eskimo Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Also keep an eye on them. The thread will wear quick if you rode them loose which will cause them to loosen quicker next time you ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
