Getting my bike ready

Right forks are on bike, steerer needs cutting down so they look silly but they work! New grips on, look silly but comfy! new shifters, yay I can change gear! But can't get my old pedals off to put new ones on, my pedal spanner appears to be rounding off.................help!

  1. I have an almost new pedal spanner swing by and borrow it if you need to.

  2. Allen key in the back of the pedal axle, presuming there's a hole for one.

  3. Tried that and just couldn't get the leverage, don't think I'm strong enough :( Hopefully my friends husband can sort it later.

  4. I usually rest the end of the key on the floor and stamp on the pedal.. making sure you have things turning the correct way, of course.

    or use an allen key with a handlebar over it for extra leverage.

  5. Bike shop did it since they were putting a new bottom bracket on. But I'll remember the tip matt
