SUNLITE Alloy Folding Bicycle Pedals

These pedals use a standard 9/16" axle, which is the industry standard for the vast majority of adult bicycles, including mountain, road, and hybrid bikes. They will not fit bikes that use one-piece cranks, which typically require 1/2" pedals.

The pedals feature a simple, spring-loaded release mechanism. You pull the outer cage slightly outward to unlock it, allowing the pedal to pivot flat against the crank arm for easier storage or transport.

Yes, they are built with an alloy body and cage, making them significantly more robust than plastic folding pedals. While the folding hinge introduces a slight point of mechanical complexity, the alloy construction provides a solid, reliable platform for everyday riding.

These pedals use DU sleeve bearings, which are designed to be low-maintenance and resistant to dirt and debris. They do not require regular greasing like traditional loose-ball bearings, though you should keep them clean and free of grit to ensure smooth rotation.

At 435g per pair, these are slightly heavier than many standard, non-folding alloy flat pedals. The extra weight is a trade-off for the convenience of the folding mechanism, which is ideal if you frequently store your bike in tight spaces or transport it in a car.
