I think i'm going to buy these pedals (http://pricepoint.com/product344.html), but do they ship to canada? and how easy is it to put new pedals on?

those look cool, I would wear some shin protection with those tho.

Tip: use a small amount of loctite when puting those on.

Pedals are very easy to install. You might find it worthwhile to buy a nice pedal wrench at the same time. I usually just grease up the threads on the spindle - I've never used Loctite.

You need one of these:

Then use it like this:

Remember:
The drivetrain side is left = loose, but on the non-drivetrain side right = loose

5/8 wrench works as well.

Yeah, I never understood why anybody bought a special cone wrench for pedals. But what the hell do I know.. I'm no mechanic. All I know is that my combo wrench works just as effectively, and I didn't have to special order it from any online retailer :o

Actually I had a set of pedals that REALLY hugged the crank. I couldn't fit a normal wrench in there...oh well
