  Pedal tools

  Pedal tools

  Pedal tools are designed specifically for removal and installation of pedals - they are 15mm thin spanners

  Why a specific tool for pedal removing and installing pedals?

  Pedal threads (generally) are different on the left and right side of the bike:

  The drive side pedal (right hand as you sit on the bike) does up in the normal tightening direction - turning to the right (clockwise or righty tighty) to tighten

  The non-drive side pedal (left hand as you sit on the bike) does up in the opposite way around - turning to the left (anti-clockwise) to loosen

  This design is so that as you pedal, the pedals can self-tighten rather than come unscrewed (if they are not done up tight enough they will still loosen and fall off!)

  Get on with it ... why does this mean a special pedal tool is required

  Firstly - pedals can be very tight (and they can corrode or rust on with time - especially if grease is not applied when installing) and pedal spanners tend to have longer handles than a standard spanner

  Secondly - pedals that use a 15mm spanner for tightening only have a thin gap for tightening (so your normal large adjustable spanner won't fit), and a small cone spanner - though looking appealing - may break under the heavy load required to loosen the pedal

  Note: more and more pedals are using allen keys for fitting / removing pedals - from the back of the crank

  Pumps

  Ever since Mr Dunlop came up with the pneumatic tyre, it's become a fact of life - tyres (including bicycle tyres) need air!

  But don't you just hate it when you just want to get on your bike for a ride, only to discover the tyres need some more air and that your pump is just slightly better than useless?

  Our selection of pumps will allow you to inflate with reliable ease - we have 3 types:

  • Track / Floor pumps
  • Mini pumps
  • Shock pumps

  Track / Floor Pumps

  We recommend using a track pump where possible for quicker / easier and more accurate pressure. We have found that running tyres underinflated is one of the most common causes of punctures and tyre wear. Simply testing with your fingers (especially on a hard tyre such as the marathon plus) often gives a false sense that the tyre is inflated enough.

  Mini Pumps

  Designed to ride along with - either attached to the bike or carried along in a pack. These are really for emergency use only

  Shock Pumps

  For pumping up suspension shocks and forks - these operate at a higher pressure than track pumps or mini pumps and generally only work with a Schrader valve

  Tool Kits

  a good, quality tool kit will make life easier when maintaining or repairing your bike, whether in the workshop our out on the trail / road.

• 

  Torque wrenches

  Torque wrenches and accessories - perfect for making sure everything is done up to the manufacturers specifications.

  For modern bicycle components to function at their optimum they should be tightened to the manufacturers specification (normally measured in NM - Newton metres)

  Getting the correct torque when fitting components has become more important with lighter alloys and carbon used in componentry which means over--tightening can cause damage.
