Working on my pedals.... noticed that there was a a good bit of in/out slop and that the allen bolt under the
cap was as snug as it could be. Loosened the bolt on the right pedal with some effort and was able to reduce the slop
with a couple of washers under the bolt head.
Having a more difficult time with the left pedal. Is the left allen bolt a left hand thread (righty loosie, lefty tighty) like the
pedal to crank arm threads or a right hand thread? Don't want to force it as I'm guessing a new allen bolt will be next to impossible
to find.
Edit: It turns out both right and left pedal allen bolts are a standard right hand thread.
Is there a solution for in/out slop? A washer helps a bit, but doesn't eliminate it. Or is it something we learn to live with?
Cheers
