Black VP alloy BMX pedals with a 1/2" axle, for BMX and kids' bikes with one-piece cranks. A flat BMX platform lets you put a foot down anywhere and step off quickly, which suits BMX, dirt jumps, pump tracks and everyday riding in ordinary shoes.

The alloy body is stiffer and harder-wearing than a plastic one while still keeping the weight down.

These have a 1/2" axle thread. That size fits one-piece cranks, found on many kids' bikes, older BMX bikes, department-store bikes and some exercise bikes. It won't fit a three-piece crank, which takes 9/16". If you're not sure which you have, look at the crank: a one-piece crank is a single steel piece running through the frame, while a three-piece crank has separate arms fixed to a bottom bracket axle.

To fit, grease the pedal threads, start each pedal by hand so it doesn't cross-thread, then tighten it with a pedal spanner or the hex key it takes. The left pedal has a reverse thread, so it tightens anticlockwise.
