Greetings Riv Chicas who read more than post! If you're like me, you have been in situations where you didn't have quite the right tool and/or didn't have quite the 'nough strength. I myself have uttered choice words whilst attempting to remove/install pedals. 1) A normal open-ended wrench is often too thick to fit in there, and 2) if it does fit, it's too short for my small 53 year-old women's hands to loosen them when they're tight and I'm trying to remember that the left side is reverse threaded.
I finally invested 17 bucks in Riv's "venerable" Unior No. 61 Pedal Wrench. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/tl017.htm If you struggle with numbers 1 and 2 above, you too will call this wrench venerable. Made switching out my pedals last night easy-peasy. You still have to remember that the left side is reverse threaded, but with this wrench, that's the only thing you need to focus on (and maybe adding a little grease to the threads). It could become among a bykin' girl's best friends. -liesl always-appreciates-good-mechanic-tips in minneapolis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
