Specialized turbo vado 5.0 2023 crank

[Jaspal]

Hi

Is anyone using an alternative for specialized cranks? My pedal is stuck and it's a 8 week turn around time in the UK for the part.

Thanks

Have you talked with the LBS about the pedal removal?

Just in case: You do know that the pedals thread on in opposite directions? One uses a left-hand thread.

Also, in addition to the flats on the pedal side, many pedals also have an 8mm Allen key on the inside, which may be caked with dirt.

There are some pedals with a 6 mm hex socket.

Your remark is very valuable!

Thanks all for the suggestions.. The good this I am still able to use the bike with the standard pedals. I'll look to take to a shop later.

Specialized couldn't advise any alternatives but that particular model. Seems like parts are difficult to hold off
