View Full Version : I bought myself some holiday gifts!

I bought myself a couple gifts for the holiday. Some nice new Fly cranks and Pedals. The cranks are 8g lighter than my Ti spindle/hardware Profiles and SOOO much stiffer. The pedals are the grippiest things I have ever ridden and barely weigh more than my older Wellgo MG-1 platforms. Enjoy!

Shape and pin placement on those pedals looks absolutely DIALED. I want some. Those are the Reubens?

one thing, make sure everything is tight, otherwise you get about 1/2 inch of play, just screw the ?spindle? bolt down and it should cure it

He's saying to make sure the bolt on the spindle of the pedal is tight so there's no play between it and the body.

It took me a few tries.

Ah, got it. Yeah, I checked torque on everything out of the box, etc. I even replaced the 4 main screws on each side with regular socket head cap screws instead of the flat head screws they oddly came with. Weird, b/c there is a counterbore specifically for a socket head cap screw and not a flat head screw. Oh well, all fixed now.
