I received the RK9003 from Amazon. It was shipped with the clamps solid pressed together. Even hitting the foot pedal very hard it will not release.

Make sure the slide above the two feet is set to unlock. Put your foot in the "stirrup" and exert downward force. You may hear a click as the locking ratchet disemgages. You should now be able to slide the jaw farthest from you away from the closer jaw. Hope this helps

had the same problem - if with the lock/unlock switch on the front is in the unlock position and it still does not unlock when you hit the foot pedal check the spring inside. mine was unhooked.

My husband says there is a release lever in the front after you use the foot pedal and you just push the release lever down.

There is a little red lock that keeps the jaws from opening, flip it then open the jaw

I went over and looked at mine just to be sure. They appear to be the same, at lest the one I got. I'm realizing now that the description is a little thin on this listing. I'll put it this way, the one I got appears the be the same 9 - 13", spring loaded release (you can see the springs on the feet of the other one), swivels, notched legs. Hope that help you out.

100% real bro. I have been using crkt's since my dad gave me one 10 years ago. They are great kinfes. My question to you now is you've heard of there being fake ones? Cause I've probably gotten 3 or so off Amazon and they were all laggit.

Buy at your local hardware store. The ones on Amazon are factory Rejects. I know I bought srveral, some from Amazon and some from a couple of local stores. The ones from local hardware stores are Very secure. All from Amazon are useless and just hang down. If you eant something just hanging straight down AND you have to Attach the Clamp part Yourself. Hardware stores the come factory attached already which is much more sturdy. Sorry ibought from Amazon (same exact thing as from Wal-Mart CHEAP)

I got mine off of CL for $200. I didn't pull the trigger when addicted to Amazon got them. I was watching but missed them. The chair is pretty good, I just wish both of my 360 wheels hadn't broken on me.

I own 3 bikes: Brompton, Surly, CETMA. 2 of them are handmade. I do all the wrenching on them. I've tried these pedals on the CETMA. The bearings wore out in a few months. Doesn't matter how much they weigh. They suck. Spend your money on some MKS pedals, instead.

I would avoid this altogether. When mine showed up in the mail, I pulled the release lever and the plate came out, but so did the spring and other parts. It was unusable from the second I got it.

Mine was solid and smooth right out of the box. I would give yours time to get broken in before doing anything.

This is from the seller's [Low Baller] storefront - Contact this seller Phone: 909-979-7392 Not sure if this was the one I used, but recently I received one that sounded like a bearing was bad, they were very helpful and shipped a new one very quickly. Good luck.

The release is an adjustable by screwing it in or out. As for the axle, it depens whether the original axle will fit into the red ends of the adjustable screw. After things are lined up, lock the adjustable screw with the lever. You can emaIL me at dloew7@yahoo.com if you are confused and I would be willing to take a picture of mine all set up and send it to you. A picture is worth a thousand words and email is limited.

mine came with the plastic gears loose inside the base. i had to disassemble the base and put them all together. but now it works ok, just be aware that qc might not be great...

I would return the pedal it is defective. The one that I purchased for a museum class I taught ...so for is working well... though my personal dremel pedal is of much better quality than this particular product.

Sorry, I have no idea on that one. Mine was tight and worked fine out of the box. If it was mine I would try tightening it up and try it and adjust from there.

I would call Brian DeHate at TrailTech....his phone is 360 687 4530. His email is Brian@TrailTech.Net. He was really great to deal with when my kickstand broke...all I had to do was send him a picture of the broken one, and in two days I received a brand new one! They stand behind their products. If I had it to do over,I would drop the cash for the billet one, as the 5003 that just bolts on the original mount, still uses the original shiatty mount! The kickstand is the only thing that KTM didn't get right. Hope that helps. Shawn

I would go to the mfg. site. Mine has not broken it is just a pain to clamp when set vertically.

Mine wobbled too due to very poor construction. After carefully assembling the cycle 3 separate times the upper right and lower left feet could not reach the floor-they missed it by at least 1/2 inch. Again, this was due to poor construction, a frequent problem with this cycle according to the Amazon reviews. I sent mine back for a refund, perhaps you might want to do the same. I then replaced it with a stepper from Gaiam. The stepper isn't perfect but I do use it every day.

As for packaging, mine looked like crap but the bike was fine. The pedals are regular pedals that you can get almost anywhere if you don't like them... Do make sure you look at the designation on the pedals and put them on the correct side or you will strip them out. You can always reject the shipment (if you are there to receive it) if the bike is haging out of it. Or Amazon is really good about refunds.
