hi,

is there a uk source for the tool mks make for removing the dust caps from their pedals?

otherwise is it just a case of using a set of pliers and somethig to protect the cap?

thanks

I use slip joint or water pump pliers with a cotton cloth (old grundys will do) to stop the pliers biting the aluminium. Managed to get them off an back on with no significant marks. They won't be very tight so you don't have to use much pressure.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
