Thread Box:

French Pedals, AKA, I'm fucked

Thread started by dudemannerist at 07.3.08 - 2:25 pm

Does anyone have any French Threaded pedals, or know of a shop that might carry them. I stupidly broke my old ones taking them off, and I really wanted to ride with cub camp tonight, but I seem to be SOL, as noone will tap it to 9/16 either. Its pretty much a threading that looks like 9/16, but actually isn't. I'm in Mar Vista, and will pay a reasonable price for them, and at this point will pretty much go wherever in the city.

Or, has anyone had luck forcing 9/16 pedals into french theaded cranks?

This is Sheldon Browns article: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/french.html#pedals

Thanks.

A 9/16" x 20 tap will allow you to thread your cranks for normal pedals, if you are so inclined.

Yeah, I talked someone at a bike shop, and he said that because my cranks are steel, he would just end up wrecking his drill and tap, and therefore wouldn't do it. I don't know if that goes for everywhere, though.

Additionally, my phone is 310 nine three six 8 8 one two, anyone looking to contact me.

Fuckin French bikes. They should melt down everything that's not a perfectly restored PX-10, make a huge bomb out of it, and then go drop it on France for their stupid interpretation of what "metric" meant 30 years ago.

I want the 100 hours of my life back that I spent looking for a French threaded stem bolt for my 1974 Motobecane, only to come up with nil, and rig up some Home Rape-o shit box solution.

LOL, bike shops are scurred of steel, they confuse building a bike with assembling a bike.

Call a couple of machine shops. They'll do it no problem.

or... bring the crank (or bike) into the Bike Oven. We have the 9/16 pedal taps.

So crisis averted, as it turns out. The threads were actually just pretty fucked up, and not French, as I had simply assumed. I went to Findlay's Machine shop in west LA, and a really helpful guy who biked as well chased out the threads, and I'm good now. This has actually made me very, very happy, and my day as well.

Thanks for the help and suggestions though, much love.
