Loose Bike Pedal Problems? |
I recently purchased a brand new Mongoose bike. When I started to ride it, the pedal came out. It was looser than the other one anyway, and it just fell off. It doesn't appear to be damaged, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it back on. The stunning majority of bikes do not have nuts on the pedals. It is very possible, even likely, that the crank arm was damaged as the pedal backed out, so I strongly recommend that you take it back to the place of purchase to have it repaired. Should you want to try it yourself (NOT recommended), here's how to do it: 1) If the pedal came off the "chain side" of the bike, just screw it CLOCKWISE back into the crank arm and tighten with the appropriate wrench... usually 9/16" or 15mm. The wrench is going to have to be pretty thin to fit between the pedal and crank arm. 2) If it came off the "non drive" (no chain) side of the bike, screw it back in COUNTERCLOCKWISE and tighten. Source(s): 27 years in the industry just shove it threw the hole and tighten the nut on the back of it. walla !!! get a new nut to screw it back contact me for diagram but take back to shop go to some one who work on bikes mikes bikes take it back to the shop - it should be guaranteed |
