STEP 8 INSTALL PEDALS STEP 9 CHECK GEARS Bicycles have specific left and right pedals, and the left-hand side pedal has an opposite thread on it, meaning that it tightens up in a counterclockwise direction (A). You need to make sure that you have the correct pedal for each side of your bike. You will see on the pedal axle CR-R (or R) for the right and CR-L (or L) for the left. The right-hand (drive-side) pedal tightens up normally in a clockwise direction. As mentioned the left-hand (non-drive side) pedal tightens up in a counterclockwise direction (B). Be cautious that the pedals are installed nice and straight, being careful not to cross thread the crankarms. A spot of grease on the thread is good to use here. You can use either a 6mm Allen key or a 15mm spanner/wrench and tighten to 47-54Nm. Now is a good time to run through the gears to check that they are working correctly. To do this turn the cranks/pedals so that the rear wheel begins to spin. Whilst still pedaling the bike with your hand shift through the gears using the gear shifter on the righthand side of your handlebars (C) (being careful not to trap anything in the chain or wheel). If you are having any issues with the gears, please check out our Tech Video series on the INTENSE website. 23
