I cant find a place to buy replacement pins for pedals... I have the Primo pedals, and most of the pins are grinded down and they are really slippery ๐ Does anyone know where I can buy them? Also, how can I tell if my pedals are on backwards? And how would that mess up the cranks if they were?
Thanks ๐

Also, I was thinking of painting my primo pedals black with sprayy paint (they are blue-ish right not).. Does anyone have advice on doing this? Should I just take out the pins and spray it?

your pedals will generally have an L or R printed on the spindle, if you have them in the wrong way round it can loosen/strip them as for pins, i dunno

I would like to see you even be able to put them on wrong.
Left pedals generally have left hand threads, and right pedals have right hand threads.
Always start threads by HAND first. If it's not smooth, something is wrong, or it's dirty in the threads.
Also, platform pedals are designed in a parallelogram shape so they rotate for your shoe to sit on them properly. Short side on the back, long side in front.

I found the pins on my pedals are far to bashed up to remove.

Those are clip-less pedals, you sure you want your feet clipped in whilst ridding?

the 'clips' in 'clipless' refers to a basket or toe strap that the foot locates in. This 'photo' (http://www.bicyclesouth.com/images/Pedals.jpg ) shows, standard, clipped and clipless pedals.
