Thanks for letting me know Cormanus. That'll be the next fix it project. always something when you buy a used bike.

well, disassembly, bending on the pedal with a vise, cresent wrench, and 3/8" socket extension and much better.
by the way, a 3/8" socket extension fits in the hole in the pedal end like it was made for it. Perhaps the engineers
figured that there would be bent pedals and made the hole a good place to gain leverage to straighten things out?
