Cranks and Pedals

[Cycleops]

You need to be aware @MonsterEnergy that if you have damaged the threads In the crank which sounds highly likely the pedal may become loose over time. Never mind you won’t be the last to do this.

New cranks, pedals and bar grips ! PS I do hope the end of the bar's are 'plugged' - i.e. you've not got an open bar there - it's a rather large pokey thing, and if not covered it's like having a big sharp thing on the end of your bike.

I honestly don’t think you’ll need new pedals. The threaded spindles will be steel and likely won’t be damaged as the harder material will cut into the soft alloy crank. Anyway you can check by inspecting and running your finger nail around the thread.

OP says they were old and worn and he was replacing anyway. If he's doing jumps and stuff, no half measures - old worn pedals might not be a great idea.

Or stripped crank threads?

Glad you sorted it.
I occasionally get confused with pedal/bb threads etc. I use my thumb nail on the thread and turn the item to see which way the thumb nail moves.

Halfords can be good and bad, but staff change, so difficult to build a good customer relationship. If you can find a local bike shop, the staff will probably be there for a long time and you can build up a good relationship with them and trust them.
In our area, there is one very good mechanic, self-employed and all the club and serious riders speak highly of him. He was/is also a very good competitor, so knows what he is talking about.
