Pedals not included

Good Day Hubbers

 

Hope you all having a good week.

 

Quick question, why when most people are selling a bike, do they not include pedals? I am just intrigued to understand.

 

Thank you

Most new bikes are sold without pedals, so as to allow for the owner to fit the pedals of his choice. There are several types that are not interchangeable. Most people then simply transfer their old ones to the new bike.

 

Often people also keep their own saddle because it is comfortable, but then they mostly put another saddle on. Often it is what the bike was bought with, and not very nice and comfortable.

Thank you DJR, understood :-)

What DJR said, i have had the same set of SPD pedals since 2010.

So that you can't ride the bike off the showroom floor.

@ Swany,  . Keeping the gear that makes for a comfortable ride is important.

I'm about to make the swap to Look Keo. Is swapping brands allowed?

My other half runs looks and I'm getting new shoes so it's as good a time as any to change. I want us running the same pedals so if we do hit trouble say 10km from home I can jump on her bike and foot it home to get the car or visa versa.

 

I'll give my old shoes and pedals to Hout Bay Cycling club. They are still in perfect working order. I'm sure there's a kid with midget feet who would want some silver riding shoes.

Some would say a swap to Look is an essential change
