I have inherited a mountain bike and on one of the first rides the pedal has simply snapped off. The thread has completely gone so I think it needs a whole new setpair of pedals (no idea what the technical term is).
My questions are these:-
1) can you buy replacement pedal setspairs?
2) where can you buy them from?
3) is it cost effective, or should I just buy a new one and have done with it?
I recommend metal pedals. I’ve had the plastic ones snap a couple of times and would never go back to them. They should be easy enough to fix; even I could manage it!
So in answer to your question, yes you can buy replacement pedals and they are pretty cheap from what I can remember.
