Buy the black halfords pedals that are in the dx style. They are around £13 and are a straight swap.  :daumenhoch:

Take yours out and measure them. Sketch a pic of the shape and the measurements. Then we can have a look for spindles that are similar.  :daumenhoch:

You can also buy inserts for cranks that convert 9 1/6" to 1/2" 
But I have never used them.  :daumenhoch:

Top man!  Would be a nice easy bit of kit for quite a few Radsters if it worked well  :daumenhoch:

For Perry's they'll work - you do need to trim off (with a Dremel) the last three threads on the new axles to get them to fit though. Done it a load of times :)

Nice one Dan  :) .....Look to be a cheaper alternative then to making a new set :)

Ah cheers for the link Stu :)

It looks as though the final thread is 1/2" to fit an OPC....ultimately allowing you to use a 9/16th on an OPC.....really nice idea if they'd done it the other way round, although i guess it would extend the pedals from the crank arms quite a bit by the look of it.

The thread on that is bsp. Ie British standard piping!!  Not the same as your cranks or pedals. Besides one side is left hand threaded.  ;D

the halfords fpd alloy platform pedal as posted above are a straight swap inc all the bearing cups, cones, lock nuts, bearings etc... the whole hardware fits into the dx body :daumenhoch:

if you want adaptors to convert 1/2 to 9/16th then asda is your best/easiest place, get some free pedals too :LolLolLolLol:
