CNC Machining
CNC Machining is a process in which a piece of raw material or stock is cut into a final desired shape using a computer controlled machine and often several different machine tools. Depending on the operation in question different tools are called, for example ball mills, end mills, thread mills, taps and slitting saws to name a few, all have different uses and come in all manner of shapes and sizes.
Machining produces extremely accurate parts, often to within 0.001" (I know, Canada is mostly metric but the industry predominately uses imperial units), and is renowned for creating a very high-end look with 3D surfacing and clean, strong edges which forging cannot produce.
Because every aspect of the part must be "cut out" machined parts take a long time to produce. A Ranger body for example takes 20 minutes to machine (the face plate is made separately), then it still needs to be deburred, quality checked, anodised, laser etched and assembled.

All of our pedals are built upon this foundation.
Pedal FAQ's
All of our pedals use a 9/16" x 20tpi thread which is standard in the bike industry.
Our pedals will fit almost any bike with the exception of low-end 1 piece BMX cranks, some kids bikes or other very old bicycles.
Yes! You will get both a left and a right pedal.
Pedals have specific left and right threads (so they don't unscrew while you pedal). It is very important these are installed on the correct side.
The left pedal axle does have a little ridge around it (this becomes important if you are servicing your pedals), but the easiest way to tell is that the graphics/logos read the correct way around from the rider's point of view.
Yes! You will get some spare pins & washers in the box.
Your pedals will last a very long time. It's not uncommon for our pedals to last a decade or more with the right care.
The main wear you will encounter is damaged pins which are easily replaceable. If you run out, we sell packs here.
Sometimes it's a good idea to do a complete service on your pedals if they are running rough or if you have managed to bend an axle. You can change the axle, bushings and bearings which can be purchased here.
However more often than not, a quick strip-down, clean and regrease will keep your pedals running smooth for years to come.
Essentially Q-Factor is the distance between the pedal attachment points on the crank arms, also referred to as Tread. It could also be described as the width of your crankset. This affects your stance, if you've ever been snowboarding think of it as the same thing, essentially the distance between your feet.
