Aren't Chineese products metric?
“Aren’t Chineese products metric.”
Yes, Metric......
Most bicycles on the US market under about $2000 are made in China no matter whos name is on it. Most are made by bicycle mfg “Giant” in Tiawan.
I have two “Trek” bicycles each costing over $500 that were made in Tiawan to Trek’s designs/specifications. Both of these bicycles use quality componets supplied by Shimano.....
In over 6 years of use on Sacramento’s American River Bicycle Trail I have yet to have any problems other than an occasional flat tire...... Periodically I take them to a Bike shop for a tuneup and maintenance. They have been a joy to use and enjoy.
This is the size of the threaded part of the bike pedal.
It was much smaller than the small standard 1/2 inch.
So maybe 9mm.
