I haven’t replaced my pedals, but I did install extenders. The pedals take a 15mm wrench, and remember, the left pedal is reverse thread so loosen both by turning towards the rear of the bike, tighten by turning towards the front.
The black step thru took 13 days from order to arrival. The white one took 41 days. I ordered this seat post in 31.6mm diameter and this seat.
I’ll get some pictures next time I get them out. We finally have some rain in central Texas so the bikes are idle at the moment.
Our second step thru, the white one, arrived last Tuesday. The only issue was that the front fender needed a little bending to keep it from rattling against the fork. It put a Zoom suspension post and Bikeroo seat on both. I ride recumbents these days and quickly found that due to shoulder and...
