I watched about 20 videos and this is the only one that clicked with my brain. Thank you good sir!!! I will now be riding my bike in the morning because of you!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Apart from the pedal info which is great. I would like to mention that I have the same Roval rims! Been using them for quite some time. I've never weighed them but they felt really light when I took them off. And the only reason I did take them off is because I wanted to try a little wider rim to fit 26-28mm tires... The Mavic Ksyrium S rims to recently put on which can be tubeless or run with clincher/tube weight is 1572g for the set. Not bad at all for a super strong alloy rim, plus it feels so nice riding 26mm on my Specialized Tarmac. I'm still running rim brakes, I like to keep things light and simple. But I must say, those Roval rims with the spoke head tighteners in the inside have been phenomenal for 23-24mm tires! And did the pedal change to LOOK ceramic blades, using your technique 👍
Great tip if the pedals accept a hex wrench, however some pedals need a pedal spanner (I'm looking at you SpeedPlay). This tip only works if the flats on the pedal spindle are aligned to give you the leverage required. If not then a longer pedal spanner is required to give leverage and also to keep your hand far from the chainring. Additional tip, put the chain on the big chainring when doing this, it covers the teeth on the chainring!
Yea also with those speed plays though the pedal wrench makes it way easier to get leverage on there. I’ve busted my knuckles on the chain even a couple time. Tore some skin off lol
100% agree with you Dan. I had been using the Allen wrench method in the video for 20+ years with Shimano pedals, but that went out the window with Garmin Rally PM pedals. Two skinned knuckles later, I concluded what you recommend. I also picked up a Feedback Sports pedal wrench so I have three different angles to use for the Flats. Whichever tool or method, the Golden Rule is always turn towards the front of the bike to install and towards the back of the bike to remove your pedals.
I find the easier way is to sit/straddle the bike with one foot down then with the other foot place it on the pedal and also partially on the tool. Then you simply flex your ankle and can provide modulated force down on the tool so there is no big movement after the pedal comes loose. Generally I place the tool so that my toe is on the pedal and heel on the tool, then weight my heel. There are a couple videos on this. Wear standard running shoes of course
Yup totally. I have a bike that will only take a wrench on the outside of the crank in which case your method works great. Love the channel/content BTW - lets me get my fix of new bikes while still being able to pay rent. Lol
Thank you! Just used this tip, much easier. Do you have any videos on how to service the hubs on the roval c38’s? There isn’t much content out there for them.
@@GCPerformance18 “You’ll never believe this”, but, I found an Olmo aluminium alloy frame with a full set of Shimano Ultegra group set in its bag just a week ago at the recycling bins walking my dog at night!! Not used to the clip on pedals so was thinking of changing them. Just need to change the pedals & I’m good to go.
not that often just make sure whenever you install them the first time you use good grease and apply it generously, also if you notice wobble or play in the pedal axle then change it but this video was more for packing or shipping a bike
my shimano 9100 right side pedal creaking,i tide so many time yet awhile will creaks agains,should i really use the force of this leg to tighten it more?
@AG Coarseman love mine, priced lower than powertap or garmin, user serviceable and rechargeable internal battery. I've had mine for 4 years no probelms. check RU-vid for more reviews
its all fun and games until you have your gf holding the bike while you are standing on the allen key and the opposite pedal. The real thing ppl need to do is use antisieze
