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.

Just what a needed for a MB with kiddies size pedals. Well made quality and rides great.

The pedals are solidly built. They're relatively heavy, so probably steel and not aluminum. The blue color leans toward purple, so just keep that in mind if you're trying to match a color on your frame. The pedals are straightforward to install. Without the adapter, the size is 1/2", and with the adapter, it is 9/16". Some caveats: 1. The adapter makes the pedals stick out ~1/2" more. My son scraped one of his pedals when he was turning, possibly due to that extra 1/2". 2. If you do end up scraping the pedal, the paint comes off (obviously) and you see the silver metal that's underneath. This isn't an issue with black plastic pedals, so something to keep in mind.

I like these. I'm glad they come with an adapter. As a note, for anyone who may be a newbie like me, the pedals and adapters are labeled R and L; pay attention to that. The R set tightens as normal (clockwise), the L set tightens counterclockwise, which makes sense I think but I hadn't considered that and spent maybe three frustrating minutes trying to get the L set together.

Worked and fit perfect. Easy to put on.

Muy buenos Excellent

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.

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.
