pedals

Submitted by whezaleigh on 09/15/2009.

How did you thread your pedals onto the crank arms? I would think you would have to put the pedals on the wrong side with the drive switch, but since you have toe clips on the mks sylvans they would have to be upright and facing forward.

NM I figured out how you did it.

lefty

It rides just like a righty. And yes, that naked man was swimming laps while we played polo. We moved polo to a roller hockey rink though. If you put the crank arm on the left, be sure you have an alloy bb cup. Also, your pedals contantly try to spin themselves off and my cog is always trying to loosen (thank you lockring, you save my life every day). There is no functinoal purpose, I just thought it would be fun to do, plus I always liked left side BMX bikes because I grind on the right.

LSSD.

I ride a left side drive, and I love it. I find that if you lock-tight your pedals, cog and lockring they don't loosen up. Just make sure if and when you want to take them off to use a heat gun or heat device to liquefy the lock-tight.

I love LSD.

when the standing still subsides, the moving will resides.
each covert compassion yields to its known spectacle.
