What is the purpose of a bike pedal reverse thread and how does it affect the installation and removal of pedals on a bicycle?
The purpose of a bike pedal reverse thread is to prevent the pedal from unscrewing while riding. This means that the left pedal has a reverse thread, so it tightens in the opposite direction compared to the right pedal. This affects the installation and removal of pedals on a bicycle because it requires turning the left pedal counterclockwise to tighten it, and turning the right pedal clockwise to tighten it. This can be confusing for some people, but it ensures that the pedals stay securely attached to the bike during use.
Can a bike pedal be fixed if thread has been stripped?
If it's the pedal that's been damaged there's no fix that's as cheap and simple as replacing the pedal. But usually it's the crankarm that's damaged. The right side crank has a fairly common thread, and can be repaired with a heli-coil insert. The left side has a left-hand thread, and the only ones likely to have the tools to repair that is a bicycle store. If it's a department store bike replacing the crank might be a cheaper option.
