Recommend me a pedal spanner

[steve52]

one that fits, duh. open ended or ya cant slip it over the pedal lmao, or its allen keys for some.

Does this work for Look Keo pedals? I cannot get my spanners to work - they were fine for Delta but Keo does not work.

You need an allen key for Look Keos - 8mm. Inserted into the end of the pedal axle from the frame side. I use a long one (and copper grease on the axle threads).

If you do buy it from Halfrauds, order online 'click and collect' as it'll be dearer in store.

Done and I get 10% off with BC membership too

Like The Jogger ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, I just used a cheap and cheerful 15mm open spanner. BTW, if you have access to a bench grinder/angle grinder, you can just butcher a standard spanner to make it thinner, if the need arises.

Do you really think I do?

 

[vickster]

That's of course assuming you only ever need to use it on 15mm pedals (the majority) and not 9/16"
.

I have modern Shimano SPDs, assume that'll be right

You could nearly buy the lidl/aldi tool kit for that price which has a perfectly acceptable pedal spanner plus a load of other tools, good for occasional use. There's still some in stock in my Aldi.

 

[vickster]

It would cost me about a fiver in petrol and about £50 of my time to get to Aldi - and I'd get there and they'd be sold out . Halfords is 10 minutes away and I'll get a text when it arrives

Ask Father Christmas.

Ask Father Christmas.

I wouldn't ever use it! I already have an untouched strimmer and probably screwdrivers still in their packaging

The sparks are fun though.

Have you bought it yet, all this angst over a pedal spanner is driving me to drink and distraction?

 

[vickster]

Yes, it'll be at Halfords on Tuesday

I'm still going to drink.

 

[vickster]

Enjoy (feel free to use my procrastination as an excuse if anyone asks )

Oh, I was going to recommend one from VeloSolo with its lovely rubberized grip.

Never mind, I recommend a glass of red.
