Park Tool DP-2 Threaded Dummy Pedal Tool

Installing and removing pedals repeatedly during a build or drivetrain tune-up is tedious and increases the risk of cross-threading your crank arms. The DP-2 lets you quickly rotate the crank to check derailleur indexing without the bulk of a full pedal getting in your way.

The DP-2 is designed with standard 9/16-inch x 20 TPI threads, which covers the vast majority of modern bicycle cranks. It will not work with older or specialized cranks that use 1/2-inch pedal threads, typically found on some BMX or kids' bikes.

Just like a standard pedal, you should thread it in by hand until it is seated against the crank arm. Because it is made of durable material, you only need to tighten it enough to stay secure while you rotate the drivetrain; there is no need to torque it down with a wrench.

No, the DP-2 is strictly for shop use and bench adjustments. It is not designed to support a rider's weight or withstand the torque of pedaling, so you must install actual pedals before taking the bike out for a test ride.

No, the DP-2 is universal. Unlike actual pedals, which are side-specific to prevent them from loosening while riding, this tool is designed to thread into either the drive-side or non-drive-side crank arm for convenience.
