few tips:

you'll need a special wrench, and it's worth the extra money. make sure the said wrench at least 12" long. you'll need to generate a lot of torque, especially if you didn't grease the thing before putting them on
right pedal is regular threaded: meaning if you turn counterclockwise, the screw goes in
left pedal is reverse threaded: meaning if you turn counterclockwise, the screw goes out
if you could, have some step on the crank arm while you try to turn the screw. otherwise, you'll need to put step on crank while trying to pry loose the pedal
make sure you buy some PTFE grease afterwards and apply them to the thread your pedals before installing them on the new bike

edit: as Crash716 mentioned, get one of these: http://www.parktool.com/products/det...t=27&item=PW-4

you can find them at reasonable prices on ebay. hell, if you order now, it may just show up before your bike does

Good for you Razor. What are you interested in doing?

I.don't.have.a.wrench.

you are not tall.

I'm gonna go ride with the idiots. I haven't had enough yet.

hmmm. I work a lot with those sorts of guys. They all live in Bangkok, Prague or Curitiba.

Don't they have advance auto mechanic stuff too? I just got shelled for ~$3k to fix my wife's stupid Mercedes.

Hey Crash716,

Where is your avatar picture? It looks like it's in a desert.

9.6 miles and 4100ft of climbing...good times.

that is very nice. not over the top decoration but not plain. you get a thumbs up and your day is complete, i'm sure.

Once upon a time my sister lived down below near Highland. I went for a visit at the end of May for my brother-in-law's outdoor graduation. It was lovely.

Flip your stem. You'll go faster.
