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

Always the case in my experience.

Maybe this would teach some of you people how to mow.

In defense of the Schwalbe, there are some threads showing, so I imagine the tread is pretty thin.

I was hoping to get soaked today but it never came to fruition.

Recall my cycling friend has let me borrow a bike he co-owns in LA. The bike has Time road pedals on it. Who uses those?? The owner in LA does not have a pedal wrench so I am on my own to extricate these. I asked him if I really need a pedal wrench or can an Allen key fit into the spindle like most normal pedals. 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.

Yeah I will give a good once over. I want to say an Allen wrench will fit but if I squint tough to say if hole is hex or round. I think I have a crappy old small pedal wrench I can pack for insurance.

Mine don't go to a landfill, they go to a composter. Also, too lazy to pick up and put on a mulching blade

If he could send a pic of the pedal where it meets the crankarm you could see if it has wrench flats. Almost no pedals have wrench flats anymore. Looks like an Allen wrench to me.

Excellent demonstration of both the Placebo Effect and the famous statement attributed to HL Mencken - "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
