i was wondering if these pedals would fit on a torker dx

Based on the picture alone, I would say yes.

Since there is no extra info on that website…

According to Unicycle.com, the DX uses pedals with 9/16 inch diameter threads. If the Universal Cycles pedal is 9/16 inch they should fit a DX. Maybe contact Universal Cycles and find out the thread diameter size.

I think (maybe wrong) the standard thread diameter sizes are half (8/16) inch and 9/16 inch. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

6

Round your fractions. 1/2" and 9/16".

7

thanks i looked at a diffrent website there 9/16

8

Pretty much every Unicycle uses 9/16" pedals. Just for future reference.

When did you get a dx?

10

never

11

I see…

12

Those pedals are nice. Once I toast my plastics I might get em.

13

same

14

The gusset full throttes are a 9/16" thread, so will fit. Loosemoose has a pair.

15

I want to modify my pedals like that :slight_smile:

16

Standard pedal sizes are 7/16 & 9/16 and as mentioned by Borgschulze the standard size for unicycles is 9/16

17

That’s 1/2", not 7/16. Never saw a pair of 7/16 so that may have just been a typo. The old Schwinns used to used 1/2" pedals, but only up until 1983. Nowadays, I think that size is far less common, and may only be used on kids’ bikes and similar. I think it’s pretty safe to consider 9/16" as the “default” on new pedals unless indicated otherwise.

For those of us who have been into unicycling for a long time, the problem is having 1/2" cranks and pedals scattered among your unicycles, causing much confusion when you want to switch things around… :angry:

18

What I’ve been told is that nowadays, 1/2" is the standard size for one piece bottom bracket + cranks, while 9/16" is standard for a three-piece bottom bracket/crank assembly (i.e. removable cranks.)

Those are some heavy pedals–over a pound each.

Thanks for pointing out my error re: the 7/16" sizing you are right it is 1/2" or 9/16
