Shop Pedal Wrench

A pedal wrench is a specialized tool designed specifically for removing and installing bicycle pedals. Its unique shape allows for better leverage and access in tight spaces, making it essential for any cyclist who wants to maintain or replace their pedals easily. If you're planning to do your own bike maintenance, a pedal wrench is a must-have tool.

A swivel bit is an attachment that can rotate, providing flexibility when working in confined areas. To use it with your pedal wrench, simply attach the 6mm or 8mm hex key swivel bit to the wrench. This allows you to easily maneuver and tighten or loosen pedal bolts, especially in hard-to-reach spots.

For most bicycle pedals, you'll typically need 6mm and 8mm hex keys. These sizes correspond to the hexagonal sockets found in the pedal bolts. Having both sizes on hand ensures that you can tackle any pedal installation or removal without hassle.

A Box End wrench features a closed loop that fits over the nut or bolt head, providing a better grip and reducing the risk of slipping compared to an open-end wrench. This design is particularly useful for tightening or loosening pedal bolts securely, ensuring that your pedals are properly attached to your bike.

A Fit Station is a designated area in a bike shop where bicycles are adjusted and fitted for optimal comfort and performance. During this process, specialized tools like the pedal wrench are used to make necessary adjustments. If you're serious about cycling, visiting a Fit Station can help ensure your bike is perfectly tailored to your needs.

While you can use a regular wrench, it may not provide the same level of leverage or access as a pedal wrench. Regular wrenches may struggle to fit in tight spaces around pedals, making the job more difficult. Investing in a pedal wrench will make your bike maintenance tasks easier and more efficient.
