Quick question on removing pedals

[Melstar]

The right pedal has right-hand threads. The left pedal has left-hand threads. To screw pedals on, the wrench comes from back of bike to upright to front of bike. Opposite to remove. You had it right.

Ah hah coolios, thanks Deb!

The guy i'm borrowing the bike from really had his clipless pedals tightened to the max. Had to literally kick the wrench... but its all good.

Thanks to this thread, my Park Tool book, and the LBS guys who sold me a pedal-wrench for the muscularly un-endowed and some grease; I was able to switch out the pedals on my Kona. Took off the Frogs and put the flats back on so SKnot can use it.

I'll be checking those puppies to be sure they stay where I put 'em.

I had no problem, unlike the shop guy who assembled the bike in the first place and cross-threaded the pedals. (I'm gloating just a *tiny* bit.)

I know all you savvy ladies have already answered the question several times over, but i still have to butt in with my way of remembering which way the pedals go:

they go OFF the opposite way that I pedal. If not I'd be pedalling them off the bike all the time...

Knot, they tighten up as you pedal- you don't have to worry about them getting loose!

Grog- I used your way to remember right after I read it, coincidentally. I finally decided to move the 959's to the road bike, and the 747's to the MTB.

I like Back Off, too. Easy to remember.
