  2. Based on the picture alone, I would say yes.

    Since there is no extra info on that website...

  3. According to Unicycle.com, the DX uses pedals with 9/16 inch diameter
    threads. If the Universal Cycles pedal is 9/16 inch they should fit a
    DX. Maybe contact Universal Cycles and find out the thread diameter
    size.

    I think (maybe wrong) the standard thread diameter sizes are half
    (8/16) inch and 9/16 inch. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

    Round your fractions. 1/2" and 9/16".

    Pretty much every Unicycle uses 9/16" pedals. Just for future
    reference.

    Standard pedal sizes are 7/16 & 9/16 and as mentioned by Borgschulze
    the standard size for unicycles is 9/16

    That's 1/2", not 7/16. Never saw a pair of 7/16 so that may have just
    been a typo. The old Schwinns used to used 1/2" pedals, but only up
    until 1983. Nowadays, I think that size is far less common, and may
    only be used on kids' bikes and similar. I think it's pretty safe to
    consider 9/16" as the "default" on new pedals unless indicated
    otherwise.

    For those of us who have been into unicycling for a long time, the
    problem is having 1/2" cranks and pedals scattered among your
    unicycles, causing much confusion when you want to switch things
    around... 😠

  15. What I've been told is that nowadays, 1/2" is the standard size for one
    piece bottom bracket + cranks, while 9/16" is standard for a
    three-piece bottom bracket/crank assembly (i.e. removable cranks.)

  16. Those are some heavy pedals--over a pound each.

    Thanks for pointing out my error re: the 7/16" sizing you are right it
    is 1/2" or 9/16

    All 1-Piece crank sets on bikes use 1/2" pedals also.

    This really sucks, because I've wanted a good set of pedals for my bike
    for a while... but I'm not switching to a 3-Piece just to get new
    pedals.
