I got Haribos a couple of weeks ago with a pair of shoes

I've spent over a grand with them recently over about 10 parcels and have received ZERO Haribos. I intend to write a strongly worded email to them regarding this tomorrow.

On the flip side when ordering bib shorts for my daughter we got 16 packets for 1 pair of bibs

Note: Be very careful when threading them on, start by hand. One thread is reversed so the thing to remember is when tightening the spanner turns to the rear of the bike, both sides. You’ll need a 15mm.

No! Tighten towards the front, and slacken towards the rear. The pedals will be marked R and L.

Both are right and both wrong.
Just depends on whether the spanner starts at the 12 o'clock position or the 6 o'clock position.

FTFY

Put some anti seize or grease on the threads as well, they will come off easier when you need to change them

Good morning,

..... Plastic pedals will do me fine for what i need, unfortunately my local halfords has f all in stock, same with evans nothing under £50 which i dont really wanna spend

I would be really cautious of very cheap resin pedals.

I was given a pair as a get you started set on a used bike, I think but am not certain that they came off something like a new Trek or Specialized as the dealer had "draw full of them" and I suspect that were never really intended to be used, they were just there to complete the bike.

They lasted less than few hundred miles and in the process almost damaged an Ultegra 6750 chainring side crank.

These pedals had two problems,

The ball bearings actually squashed, they were that soft.

The outer bearing of the pedals had a cone and piece of metal very like a bottle top pressed into the resin that were the surfaces for ball bearings to run on.

I don't think that the "bottle top" was pressed in perfectly flat in either pedal, which caused the cone to undo, the balls to slide onto and even over the edge of the "bottle top".

On one pedal this was sort of fine, it just became impossible to use.

On the other pedal, chainring side, the increased friction caused the pedal to undo while riding and I couldn't immediately work out what the click was as the pedal rocked in the crank.

Bye

Ian

After getting Haribos with an order I started taking them when going on long runs, strarted feeling strange so went to doctor for check up. Got bloods taken and found to be pre-diabetic due to the sugar content in them, stopped taking them and got bloods taken again, sugar level back to normal. No Haribos for me ! ( and they give them to kids )

 

[Gazjacko]

I’ve never had a problem with Wiggle ( or Planet X chain Reaction Merlin ) at those low miles use a good pedal set will pay for itself in reliability

Address the obvious main issues with lack of Haribo, I get it sometimes with Sigma Sports orders.

Call me old fashioned, but I much prefer laces with mine.

This may be the most annoying post ever but I have a drawer full of pedals as I'm sure many other members of this board also have.😀😄

Indeed
I would just ask for a partial refund if i was bothered although the 1st thing i change on a bike is the pedals
