Okay, so I've had my new bike a week and am still doing rides on my hybrid.. Ugh!<br><br>
I finally was able to get the new pedals. I checked the pedals to the shoes, fine, so I figured it would be easy as pie to just replace the pedals to have a nice clipless practice session in my parking lot today...<br><br>
Pulled out the Road Bike Maintenance book PH sent me, it gave me a hint about the threading, and with that---<br><br>
Left pedal, came off easy as can be. Went ahead and put in the new pedal. Wow, this is easy and I'm doing it all by myself!<br><br>
So, the pedal I thought would be the easier one---<br>
it won't budge. I'm restraining the crank arm and putting all the pressure I'm physically capable of on the wrench...<br><br>
The pedal is sitting there still, stubborn and proud, laughing at my defeat. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"><img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">
