Interesting. I didn’t have any issues. I’ve used them two days now. I used to be into BMX and was a downhill ski racer so I might have good balance/reflexes. 🤷🏽*♂️

Yup that's what I'm going to opt for. My crescent wrench is a tad too wide to install the new pedals, so I'll pick up a pedal wrench too. They're pretty inexpensive.

Glad to hear it! The salesman at REI said he has 7 bikes and his lasts about 5 years. He said they have parts to rebuild it so there’s no sense in going for something better.

What would the 1.2 be equivalent to nowadays? He said it's 1-2 seasons old. It's easy for me to justify that price if it will suffice. I'm seeing what else they have in stock in my size too.
