Lubrication And Adjustment; Attachment - Dynacraft SINGLE SPEED Owner's Manual

LUBRICATION AND ADJUSTMENT

Many pedals cannot be disassembled to allow access to the internal bearings and axle. However, it is usually
possible to inject a little oil onto the inside bearings, and this should be done every six months. If the pedal
is the type that can be fully disassembled, then the bearings should be removed, cleaned and greased every
six to twelve months. Because of the wide variety of pedal types and their internal complexity, disassembly
procedures are beyond the scope of this manual and further assistance should be sought from a specialist.

ATTACHMENT

NOTE: The right and left pedals of a bicycle each have a different thread and are not interchangeable.
Never force a pedal into the incorrect crank arm. Check for the right (R, red) sticker and left (L, green) sticker
on each pedal and crank arm. Match the appropriate pedals to each crank (right to right and left to left) for
assembly. Insert the correct pedal into the crank arm and begin to turn thread with your fingers only. When the
axle is screwed all the way in, securely tighten using a 15 mm narrow open-ended wrench so that the shoulder
of the pedal spindle is securely tightened against the crank arm. If removing a pedal, remember that the right
pedal axle must be turned counterclockwise (i.e. the reverse of when fitting). If replacing the original pedals with
a new set, make sure the size and the axle thread is compatible with the cranks on your bicycle. Bicycles use
one of two types of cranks and these use different axle threads. Your bike may be equipped with cranks that are
a one piece design with no separate axle. These operate with pedals that have a 1.2 inches (12.7 mm) thread.
Bikes equipped with three piece crank sets with a separate axle, left crank and right crank, use a slightly larger
9/16 inches (14 mm) thread.
NOTE: Never try and force a pedal with the wrong thread size into a bicycle crank.
