FAQs
Do I need special cycling shoes for the Wellgo R104?
No, these pedals are designed to be used with standard street or athletic shoes.
What is the weight of the pedals?
The Wellgo R104 pedals weigh 387 grams per pair.
Can I remove the toe clips if I prefer to use them as flat pedals?
Yes, the toe clips are usually bolted onto the cage and can be removed, though the pedals are specifically designed to function best as a system.
Are these pedals compatible with all bikes?
They feature a standard 9/16" spindle, which fits the vast majority of adult road and commuter bicycles.
How do I maintain the bearings?
Periodically remove the dust cap to clean out old grease and repack with high-quality bicycle bearing grease.
Troubleshooting
Pedal feels tight or does not spin freely
Check if the dust cap is over-tightened or if the internal ball bearings require new grease.
Difficulty inserting foot into clip
Adjust the strap length to provide a larger opening and ensure the toe clip is properly centered.
Pedal clicking noise while riding
Ensure the pedal is fully tightened to the crank arm and that the pedal cage screws are secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the R104 pedals requires a standard 15mm pedal wrench. Note that the left pedal is reverse-threaded; turn it counter-clockwise to install, while the right pedal follows standard clockwise threading. Ensure the threads are lightly greased before installation to prevent seizing. To care for the pedals, clean the aluminum cage with a soft brush and mild soap to remove road grit. Periodically check the tension of the straps to ensure they have not frayed. If the pedals begin to feel 'gritty' during rotation, it may indicate that the ball bearings require fresh grease or inspection.
