ATB Pedals on a Road Bike
Hi,
Like many I own both a road bike and a mountain bike. I decided to standardize on SPD pedals. My mountain bike came with Ritchey Logic Pro ATB pedals which I love. I bought a pair for my road bike but the pedals seem to be a tad large in diameter and don't seem to want to thread into my road crank arms (Campy). My road bike is 20 years old so maybe the thread diameter has changed over the years or maybe ATB pedals aren't meant for road crank arms and you have to buy a road pedal in SPD. Is there any way to make this pedal work with these cranks? Would a bike shop be able to rethread my crank arm for these pedals? Thanks in advance, Bob |

You might want to have a shop chase the threads on your Campy cranks. Art Harris |

Strangely, the only cranks that I can't thread the pedals into by hand is my Campys. They'll still accept the pedals, only they have to be wrenched in all the way. OK, Campyphiles- do they use a slightly different thread shape on their cranks? Or are they just built to a slightly tighter standard? Jeff |

Barring actual damage it's probably an issue of tolerance, a crank on the smallish end of normal with a pedal near the big end of the range. Yes, see if your LBS can clear the crank thread with a tap and try again . Grease threads of course. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

bob- I bought a pair for my road bike but the
pedals seem to be a tad large in diameter and don't seem to want to thread into my road crank arms (Campy). BRBR Have a competent LBS run a tap thru the crank pedal holes...they are a bit tight for modern pedals but a quick tap run thru will solve your problems.
