Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

He said he does not know but sent me some pics. I can’t quite tell. The last thing I want to haul in my carry on luggage is a pedal wrench that will prolly get confiscated by the TSA.

First world problems, for sure.

Anyone know about these pedals? See pics.

I have some Time pedals. You can use an 8mm Allen wrench.

Might wanna check the upper limit screw on the FD too...
Or it just needs more cable tension.

I wouldn't bother with the pedal wrench. Those pedals probably don't have wrench flats. Mine don't. Have to use the hex wrench.

It's sad. Internet creeps are why we can't have nice things.

Possibly but I suspect not. Our hospital is smack in the middle of our county, and there are other hospitals closer to the county border.

What's sad is that apparently no one else has seen this movie.
