Rockman Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hey, My pedal felt bent in my crank, so I hopped off to check it out. I noticed the pedal was tight but it wobbled around a lot. I tried to take the pedal out but it wouldn't come out. I figured the pedal threads were stripped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Are you sure that it's not the pedal bearings being loose instead of the axle wobbling in the crank threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah im sure its the axle, it looks like the threads on the outside of the crank are wider than the inside, this means it can wobble.

Mikee Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I suggest taking it to a bike shop (if your having trouble getting the pedal out) seeing what's what and taking it from there. If it's the crank threads you can get the cranks helicoiled. If it's the pedal threads you will have to get new pedals or a new pedal axle.
