Mongoose Mountain Bike Pedals, Black or Blue, Set of 2, Lightweight and Durable Alloy Stands Up to Tough Riding, with Reflectors, Fits 1/2" or 9/16" Cranks, Easy Installation, Replacement Bike Pedals

These pedals were purchased to replace plastic pedals on a Mongoose(Pacific Cycle) dept store bike. 1/2" pedals come in one of two categories; cheap and plastic or expensive and alloy. These particular pedals combine the best of both worlds, cheap and alloy. These are great replacements for use on one-piece 'Ashtabula' cranks found on older bikes and dept store bikes. Don't expect $140 performance from $14 pedals, but you can improve on them. Like all cheap pedals(plastic or alloy) bearing preload is often too tight, and will not freely spin. This can be easily adjusted for better performance. *Only perform this modification if you or your mechanic is capable of such work, I take no responsibility for you or your mechanics actions.* Remove the plastic end cap, Remove the small lock nut, Remove the crush washer, Using a flathead screwdriver, or pick, loosen the second preload nut ~1/8 turn(there isn't room for a normal socket on the preload nut inside the pedal). Re-assemble as per factory and test. Pedal should spin freely with no slop/clunk. Verify the lock nut is properly installed wrench tight. If adjustment is too tight/loose, readjust/reassemble/retest until pedal rotates smoothly/freely. Pedals shall be installed onto cranks wrench tight. Recheck after ~100 miles for safe/correct operation. Pedal axles will NOT self tighten through use, they MUST be wrench tight before riding. TL;DR Good price for good alloy pedals that may be a bit tight but can be adjusted for smooth rotation. If you need 9/16" pedals, I would suggest looking at proper 9/16" pedals. Adapters work fine but the pedals are really old school(BMX/Cruiser) loose ball bearing type for 1/2" tapped cranks.

These were great!! From the size to the grippyness, and also super sturdy. I'm going to order more for all my bikes.

Muy buenos Excellent

Nice kit. Extra 9/16 bushing is nice addition. One kit fits all. Wide foot contact area.

Worked and fit perfect. Easy to put on.

The price was right and I installed them on my kids bike. Insulation was a breeze and the grip is perfect for what I was looking for. Definitely pretty heavy duty so they should last.

I had some rubber based pedals on my bike and they broke pretty quick on my mountain bike leaving me with just stumps. Thankfully these did not. Very smooth and easy to attach. Self assembly is quite easy and is very easy to determine which screw size is better. Color is constant despite weathering. Despite being slick they maintained grip under slippery circumstances and shoes. Still work very well after a few months (longer than my rubber ones!).

We have a youth Mongoose BMX that came stock with plastic pedals. After 6 months one of the stock pedals broke. I found these and they are a perfect upgrade to the stock pedals. These seem to be made of an aluminum alloy material and have a larger platform for your feet with grip points on the pedals (both sides) so your shoes won’t slip. Plus they are branded Mongoose so they look great too. The added benefit of reflectors provide greater visibility to the bike when riding at night. Then they go the extra mile of adding in thread size increase capability with your purchase if needed. A perfect set of pedals. I highly recommend these.

Excelente material y resistente

Como descrito, bastante bonitos, leves

Update: I bought these for 41 AED here on Amazon. I see the price has gone up to 93 AED now which is obviously more than double the price. Very good pedals for me. Well made. Great value @ 41 AED Nice large surface for bottom of foot to contact. Was planning to buy these again for another bike but the price has gone up now.

Perfetti per una BMX con attacco piccolo. Tramite adattatore incluso si possono montare anche su pedivelle con filetto 9/16. Sembrano robusti.

son una maravilla de pedales, en la descripcion dice que son plasticos pero son de un material muy resistente se siente rapido al tocarlo y ademas de que traen su adaptador por si tu bici es de una medida u otra.
