How are the bearings on these pedals? Do they spin smoothly? Can they be taken apart, to clean and relube, using regular bike tools?

It spin very smoothly. You can take the whole pedal out or install it with regular tool

I know longer have the machine, so I could not tell you. I got rid of it as fast as I could because it constantly needed repair. Do yourself a favor and look at the Smooth 8.0. 100 times better made and has the best ceiling to floor clearence. Pedals are 1 inch off the floor.

The pedals are fairly big and have good grip. The problem is the spindle does get bent easily and slowly starts to develop a creaking sound. I stopped using mine after two months.

Having had to open up the new unit to fix one of the two main bearings on the pedal assembly (should be enough to convince anyone not to buy it) I can see that the bearings are held in with a plastic bracket so I wouldn't suggest putting too much weight on the pedals. If you break one of those brackets then this thing will end up as garbage.

They are smooth. Bearings? I don't think they will be too big, there is a lot of padding and adjust.

Yes - the bikes have standard sized pedal threading. I plan to replace the pedals that came with the bikes so I can mount clip/cage combo pedals to accommodate all of my clients.

they are great beginner wheels. I've been writing for the past year with them. Oh, and don't bother with super reds. Just get some mini logos, they are made by the same company and they are cheaper and just as good.

Yes.These pedals are adequate. However, if you're looking for pedals as good as Shimano...not these. The clip in/out is not smooth. Quality is not high.

the best bearings you will ever buy period. they dont rust. i have mine for 4 years now and all i do is clean them every few months according to the instructions of the manufacturer. i am very heavy weighted and these are the first bearing that i dont break from ollies and landings. they are expensive but considering the fact they last long the investement is worth because in the time period you will own them you will probably buy inferior bearings for a lot more money

Yes they attach easily to the factory pedals. A very simple operation. Just follow the included instructions.

Technically yes but they're not very good when used with spd pedals. The cleats move around a lot (much more than a standard float) and unclipping is almost impossible. You'd be much better off with the mountain bike version of these (Shimano SH-M088).

I use Orangtang wheels and thwy ride really smooth. Theres diffrent tupes of wheels depending on what you want them for. Overal they're fantastic long lasting wheels.

I had bad luck with bones reds, had to return them twice because of some grinding issue, then got some super reds worked perfectly and runs extremely smooth especially if you clean and lube them on occasion. If you would want to go the cheaper route you have the possibility of getting a few bad bearings vs paying a little more getting better quality. as for which ones last longer I do not know.

I ahve been around bikes my whole life and from my experience all pedals are threaded the same.. The pedals themselves are what are different. (Size, etc) I have 2 sets of wellgo pedals and am very happy with them, but I picked the right pedal for the type of riding I am doing.. The small pegs on these pedals grip very good on the bottom of the type of shoes I wear when I am mtn biking so I love it. but if I am fumbling around and the pedal hits my shin.. it will take a junk of skin!

They're just regular pedals. You can buy special pedals (for which you need special shoes) to replace these if you want to get really serious about biking. But the pedals that come with this bike are standard.

I used them on a Mongoose mountain bike. They seemed to work fine for about a month until a broken spoke caused severe damage (unrelated to the bearings).

They're decent. I didn't get to use it but I can tell they get dirty easily. The bearings are decent as well.
