What is the thread on the pedals?

Regular thread, I believe one side goes on in the opposite direction. It's been awhile since I put the bike together but as I recall the pedals threads are regular except for the direction in which they screw on.

I also need help with the stripped pedal. It has fallen off. I need to get this fixed soon. I use the bike every day.

start on the top of the pedal and work it around. a little silicone may help.

It is for a threaded freewheel, old style. You can get them new for like 15$ at a bike shop. Not sure if the new style screws on? Mine was for a replacement on an 81 Miyata.

They have the left pedal bolt threading reversed when it should be the right one. This causes the pedal bolts to "unwind" and loosen when pedaling forward. I called the customer service for fisher price / mattel and the guy said that if I followed the directions, it would have been fine. You don't need to be an engineer to know that a reverse-threaded left pedal bolt and a standard threaded right pedal bolt will cause both pedal bolts to unscrew under forward pedalling. I guess they hired a managers kid to be their quality control tech and/or design engineer. EASY FIX: After you call customer support to have them resend the bolts and pedals (no charge), go to Lowes, Home Depot, Northern Tool, Ace, etc. and get a high strength epoxy designed for metal to metal. I used Loctite Threadlocker 271 Red. Put the bolts through the pedals all the way. Then dab a little of the red glue on just the bolt threading. It's kinda runny, so be careful. Coat the outter 2/3 of the length of threading (from the tip inward 2/3 of the length, so that when you tighten it, there won't be any squeezed out to get on the plastic pedal). Now, do one pedal at a time and make sure you adhere to the R or L on the bolt head. While holding the outside of the pedal, keep the bolt head (non glued end) pushed in to fully expose the threading on the other end. Mate the bolt threading to the female threading on the crank and SLOWLY turn it BACKWARD. This backward pedalling motion will tighten the bolt (when, if correctly designed, should loosen them). When you feel the threads engage, continue to turn until you have no more finger space left on the bolt head. Then use a wide-head screwdriver to snug it completely. Repeat this with the other side. The glue sets in about 10 minutes, but I did it just after my son had gone to sleep to allow the full 10 hours for the glue to cure. Be sure to spin the pedals a few minutes after you apply it to make sure none of the glue is holding them. Hey Fisher Price, my resume's available if you want it! ;-)

There are two sizes of pedal shafts, 9/16 and 1/2 in. Yours is probably a 9/16. To be absolutely sure take off one of your pedals and measure the diameter of the shaft were it threads in to the crank arm. Secondly, buy a better set of pedals than these, both sets I purchased began making noise soon after use. Both sets went into the trash.

Where I did have this show up was that standing on the peddles had, over time, actually pulled on the pedal where it screws into the crank, so that it was out of line. I had to completely remove the pedal, and then slowly and gradually work it back in straight (had to essentially re-bore the stripped portions of the threading). Once I did this, the clicking went away.

The t stand for teeth. Has nothing to do with thread. There is no thread in a cassette system, only splines that fit on the freehub body. If your wheel has threads, it is a freewheel system and is incompatible with this product.

I doubt it. I think that if one did pedal in reverse it would defeat the purpose of the left hand thread on the pedal bolt, and it will keep on loosening.I've had success with it so far. But I'm going to put a bracket or something on the pedals to stop my feet from sliding up.

Two pedals, they are sold as a left/right pair, with different threading for each.

There's a screw to remove the foot pedal. The 9V connector is underneath that.

There are two pedals in the package, one for the left and one for the right. I had the same question when I was considering the purchase.

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.

The threaded part of the pedal determines whether you want the 1/2" or 9/16". Take a tape measure and measure the diameter of the hole on the crank where the pedal screws into to find which one you need.

What did you end up doing about it? Our pedal has fallen off and it seems the hole is also stripped. I don't know how it stayed on to begin with. I guess somehow with repeated use the hole got bigger. Replacing the pedal will not fix the problem either.

Your best bet would be to find one with the correct specs, I have a bp200 and only the correct power adapter would allow the pedal to function correctly

The threads are about the size of a little larger sized spaghetti. Hope this helps
