Pedal Install Tools

[Andrea]

Even if it takes something like a breaker bar to remove your pedals, don't be tempted into cranking those suckers back on there like mad. Remember, they're made to be going in the "tightening" direction as you pedal, so you don't have to torque them excessively when you re-install.

+1. I do use a hex key or mini-tool to install them. They haven't come off yet and if you're just shipping your bike for a short trip, it'll take a few hundred miles before they get super-tight again.
