• Wide Platform: 101mm wide platform provides even foot support for comfortable riding, suitable for most shoe sizes.
• Superior Grip: Stainless steel anti-skid pins on each side prevent shoes from slipping off, even in challenging conditions.

3. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to correctly install your ROCKBROS Mountain Bike Pedals:

1. Identify Left and Right Pedals: The pedals are marked with 'L' for left and 'R' for right for easy identification. The 'L' pedal installs on the left crank arm, and the 'R' pedal installs on the right crank arm.
2. Apply Grease: Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads before installation to prevent seizing and facilitate future removal.
3. Thread Pedals: Carefully thread the 'L' pedal counter-clockwise into the left crank arm. Thread the 'R' pedal clockwise into the right crank arm. Ensure the threads are aligned to avoid cross-threading.
4. Tighten Securely: Use an appropriate pedal wrench (typically 15mm) or an Allen wrench (if your pedals have an internal hex fitting) to tighten the pedals securely. Do not overtighten, but ensure they are firm to prevent loosening during rides.

4. Operating Instructions

These flat pedals are designed for intuitive use. Simply place your feet on the pedal platform. The anti-skid pins will provide excellent grip, allowing for efficient power transfer and control. For optimal performance and safety, ensure your shoes have a flat, grippy sole.

The reflective strips on the pedals enhance your visibility to others, especially when cycling in low-light conditions or at night. Always ensure these strips are clean and unobstructed for maximum effectiveness.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your pedals:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the pedals with a damp cloth after rides, especially in muddy or wet conditions, to remove dirt and debris.
• Bearing Care: The sealed bearings are designed to protect against water and dust. Avoid directing high-pressure water sprays directly at the bearing area.
• Pin Inspection: Periodically check the anti-skid pins for wear or damage. Replace any worn or missing pins to maintain optimal grip.
• Tightness Check: Occasionally check that the pedals are securely tightened to the crank arms. Loose pedals can cause damage to both the pedal and the crank arm.

6. Troubleshooting

• Pedals not spinning smoothly: Check for any debris or dirt around the axle and bearings. If the issue persists, the sealed bearings may require professional inspection or replacement.
• Loss of grip: Inspect the anti-skid pins. If they are worn, bent, or missing, replace them to restore optimal grip.
• Creaking noise: Ensure the pedals are securely tightened to the crank arms. A loose pedal is a common cause of creaking. If the noise continues, it may indicate an issue with the pedal bearings or crank arm interface.
