SE Racing Bear Trap Pedals

These pedals use a standard 9/16-inch spindle, which is the industry standard for almost all adult mountain, road, and BMX bikes. They will not fit bikes with one-piece cranks, which typically require 1/2-inch pedals.

While the bear trap design offers excellent grip, these are primarily designed for casual riding, commuting, or retro builds. If you are doing heavy downhill or technical trail riding, you may prefer a modern composite or alloy pedal with replaceable pins for better durability and impact resistance.

You will need a 15mm pedal wrench or a standard open-ended wrench to install these. Remember that the left pedal is reverse-threaded, meaning you turn it counter-clockwise to tighten it, while the right pedal tightens clockwise.

The unsealed loose ball bearing system is reliable and easy to service if you have basic mechanical skills. While they require slightly more maintenance than sealed cartridge bearings to keep them spinning smoothly, they are a classic, proven design that lasts a long time with proper care.

Yes, the reflectors are attached to the cage and can be removed if you prefer a cleaner, more minimalist look. However, keeping them on is recommended if you plan to ride in low-light conditions for added visibility.
