Anyone kept their standard pedals? I've done about 50 miles on my new flyer, and I can hear a clanking sound on each turn of the crank under heavy load and feel the pedals moving a bit under my feet.... I'm not particularly heavy (or strong) either..?
Might replace them...
I had that problem and I changed my pedals, the stock ones are grim, cheap and nasty, but I found that the 'clanking' came from the free wheel, (thats assuming you haven't had her fixed yet) you could try feeding lithium grease into the free wheel mechanism see if it makes any difference, I had to replace mine as there was too much grit in it, you can service them but you need a special tool to get to the bearings even Sheldon brown recommends no even bothering with that as its waaaaaaay fiddly.
