do all three piece cranks need a 9/16" pedal?
and do all one piece cranks need a 1/2" pedal?
and what is the difference between sealed and unsealed pedals?

 

[tryit]

yes all 3 piece cranks use 9/16" some crap or oldschool 3 piece cranks mght use 1/2"
no idea why they use 1/2" mght be because the arms on them ar smaller diameter then those on 3 piece cranks
sealed last longer and are noticably smoother

 

[sax]

alright thanks. and when a pedal is 1/2" or 9/16", does that mean the thread size? or the width of this piece?:

 

[tryit]

its the size of the axle the part with thread on it just like a scooter axle is 8mm or whatever so yh i guess its the width

 

[sax]

ok. because i have pedals that i am guessing are 1/2". but the axle piece does not fit in my crank. so should a 9/16" fit?

 

[tryit]

is it to big or to small for your cranks?

 

[sax]

the hole on the crank is too big for the pedal's axle.

 

[tryit]

yeah you need 9/16"

 

[sax]

cool thanks. now, is 1/2 and 9/16 the ONLY sizes pedals come in?

 

[tryit]

yes

 

[sax]

great! so a 9/16" is sure to fit. yeah?

 

[ghost24]

^ I would assume so since you tried one size and it does not fit and their is only one other size. Logic is your friend.

 

[sax]

Wow bud, just confirming
bought 2 garage sale finds today. 10 bucks a pop.

There are actually some French cranks/pedals that come in a different size, but I doubt you're gonna find or be using those.
