Wanted: 14 x 1.25 pedals

Posted on
  • Looking for some 14 x 1.25 pedals to finish up a project - not too picky about style, but not looking to spend too much and can't seem to find anything on ebay that isn't overly chunky.

  • @jdmitch Did you get the Gipiemme Strada cranks from @Anidel then?

    I would recommend getting the pedal threads re-tapped to BSA. Not a hard / expensive job if you find a shop with the right tool. Start with Fitzrovia Cycles, they have some 'older' tools :-)

  • Yes he did.

    I actually might have a pair of Gipiemme Pedals too. I mean, I do, two pairs, one pair has one dust cup missing, the other pair is in great conditions (I just swapped them with a pair of Gipiemme Pista pedals)

    If he's interested I might give them to him.

  • Thanks both - I did get the cranks, and I was going to retap them, but have been offered a set of pedals... wish I had realised all of the compatibility issues I was getting myself in for earlier - I didn't even know there were pedals with different threading before this! hoping to have the bike up and rolling by the weekend at last!

  • :-)

  • Cheeky @anidel !

    I clearly remember telling him the cranks pedal thread were french...

    @jdmitch Don't forget to up update your CP thread so I can see how you are getting on.

  • Did you?!!??! Totally removed from my mind!!

  • In fact I even just offered the a set of Italian Gipiemme pedals! :-(

    sorry @jdmitch!

  • no worries - it was my own ignorance at fault... I will give you a shout if the other ones fall through. In fact, if you aren't saving the Gipiemmes for something else, I might take them anyways, so I can save them as a backup as they seem to be vanishingly rare on ebay, and will only become harder to find in the future, I reckon!

  • yeah but the pedals have Italian threads

  • so the pedals wouldn't fit 14mm x 1.25tpi? (I have been told that is "French threaded" but obviously the cranks are Italian, so it is all a bit convoluted it seems :)

  • not sure honestly :) @vince?

  • There are only two types of pedal threading in Europe.

    Standard 9/16" (0.56") x 20 tpi 14.28 x 1.27 mm
    French 0.55" 20.32 tpi 14 mm x 1.25 mm

  • Ok so mine are Standard, not French and won't fit the crankset I gave you .

  • After all that palaver - Fitzrovia will rethread them for a tenner! clearly the best solution :) Thanks for the tip @Vince :)

  • @jdmitch A small price to pay to use standard pedals - plus you can now use @Anidel's ones.

    Next step for you is to get the BB shell BSA rethreaded ;-)

    I am happy to see the Bernard Carre springing back to life.
