FAQs
What material is the TA Pedal Washer made of?
The exact material is not specified, but it is designed to be durable and protect aluminum crank arms.
Will this washer fit any bike?

How many washers do I need?

Can I leave these on permanently?
No, these washers are intended for use only during the installation and removal of pedals.
Is the silver color a paint or anodized finish?
The product description does not specify the finishing process, but it provides a silver aesthetic.
What is the main purpose of this product?
Its main purpose is to protect the finish of aluminum crank arms from scratches and damage during pedal installation and removal.
Troubleshooting
Pedal does not thread smoothly with washer in place.
Ensure the washer is correctly seated flat against the crank arm and is not crooked. Verify that the pedal threads are clean and aligned properly before starting to thread.
Washer seems loose on the crank arm spindle.
The washer relies on the pedal's thread engagement to stay secure. Ensure the pedal is threaded in correctly and sufficiently to hold the washer firmly in place.
Scratches still occurred on crank arm.
The washer might not have been properly positioned or may have shifted during installation. Ensure the washer is directly between the pedal wrench flat and the crank arm surface throughout the tightening process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The TA Pedal Washer is designed to be placed on the crank arm spindle *before* the pedal is threaded in. Ensure the washer sits flat against the crank arm's pedal interface. Then, thread the pedal into the crank arm as normal, using the washer as a buffer.
Compatibility: This pedal washer is primarily designed for use with aluminum crank arms. It is compatible with standard pedal spindle threads (9/16" x 20 TPI). Always check your crankset and pedal specifications to ensure compatibility.
Care: Clean the pedal washer with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove any dirt or grit. Store it in a dry place. The washer is durable but can be scratched over time; this is normal as it is designed to take damage instead of your crank arm.
