I have a set of Stronglight 93's (I think) that are M14x1.25 threading. I also have 2 sets of TA cranks that I believe (normal pedals don't thread in more than 2 turns) are French threaded as well. I installed the Stronglights on my Astra w/out issue. I then went to install my French threaded pedals (2 different sets) and got about 2 turns into the Stronglights then got really tight. The threads look unbutchered and clean so that shouldn't be an issue. I tried the same pedal in both sets of TA cranks w/out issue. What gives?!?

I really want to get this bike together and ride it. I could use another set of Stronglight 93s that I have but they are not polished like the ones on the bike and I don't feel like polishing anything....
