Righty tighty, lefty loosey
- NayamAmarshe 4y agoWise words, machine man.
- photochemsyn 4y agoI always have to Google which of my bike pedals is reverse threaded. It's a bit embarrassing, as I always think I should be able to figure it out from the whole angular momentum - torque thing.
- Daneel_ 4y agoWith the crank in the position closest to the front tyre (horizontal and forward), put your allen key in the socket while aimed at 12 o'clock (ie, upward) and rotate toward the rear of the bike. The rule is basically: rotate against the direction of the crank's rotation to undo.
- photochemsyn 4y agoAwesome, thanks.
- scombridae 4y agoI almost lost a wrist trying to twist off a bike pedal the wrong way. Also, toilet handles, but those were more transparently reversed.
- elevaet 4y agoI never liked this one because it's not correct from half the perspectives.
