Look what finally arrived, several months late... a set of cheap folding pedals for my folding bike! They don't spin freely and sort of grind as I turn the pedal. I'll give them a chance and see if there's a way to grease them.

@pla1 I was just thinking about it... perhaps they're not as free-spinning, so they stay put when folded?

@sparcipx The pedals on my Dahon folding spin pretty freely.

@pla1 I'm going to have to take them apart, they're full of sand or something, and there's still metal flashing that hadn't been removed during the manufacture.

You get what you pay for, but I got a good story out of the deal!

@sparcipx Ha, ha. Those pedals have been quite the ordeal. Good luck with the disassembly.
