I had a thread going on the sbf (before it got hacked) on some really bad bike repairs.
A new find. It almost worked. The guy said the pedal kept locking up as the outer nut would turn in while pedaling. A lock nut might have solved that problem. Cool is the guy used 2 hub cones pointed into the stripped out crank so the hub axle was centered. Well 3/8" hub axles aren't as thick as 9/16" pedal axles so pedaling hard would just bend it. No bearings. Most pedals don't have them anyhow. So many cheap box mart bike pedals are just plastic directly on the pedal shafts.
