Mail order bikes?

[col]

Don't panic.

I'm sure that you'll get pedals with the bike.

There are pedals on the photo of the bike.

I havnt just made me think theredidnt think about that at all, but seeing as they are pictured and it wasnt mentioned I just took for granted it would come with them.
Its the waiting game now, hope its sooner rather than later when it comes.

Both my last 2 bikes were mail order .....i had to ...

Turn the handlebars and tighten
Put front wheel on
Remove packaging
Attach pedals

......Most times you wont get pedals included. Sometimes they will send you some cheap plastic pedals ....just to get you going.
If the bike does not have pedals attached, be sure you lubricate the pedal screw thread and hole in the crank arm with silicon. Otherwise you will never get them off again.

Thanks, even I can manage that, but Im sure the pedals will be with it, hasnt come yet, its going to be a long day.

I hope the pedals are with it....i had a look at the bike and it looks very nice. The description does not mention pedals. However when pedals are not included the blurb will usually say "pedals not included" So chances are, as they have not mentioned it .....they will be included.

Anyway....have a great day

That was my thought when it came up, and its blowing a gale and started raining now, so maybe later for delivery is a good thing, or I can just sit rubbing it with a duster.

It says it comes 85% assembled so you have a lot to do!

It also says Fitted Extras but doesn't actually mention any!

is it there yet?

assembly is like what they say - you need special narrow spanner to fit the pedals - left one will be left hand thread, other wil be standard right hand thread; a dab of grease and do them up tight. Note some pedals have hex indent on spindle so can be done up with allen key.

you may alsno need to pump up the tyres.

in addition you may need to fit the mudguards and rack
