Question: How to maintain road bike self-locking pedals? Can I do it myself?

Answer: First of all, if you don't often ride in harsh environments, the maintenance cycle of road bike lock pedals is very long.

Secondly, if you want to maintain the pedals yourself, I don't recommend it. First of all, a vise or special tools are required for disassembly, which are generally not available at home. Secondly, take the Shimano pedal that is used by the most people as an example. After disassembly and maintenance, it involves pre-pressure adjustment. If the hands-on skills are not good, it is best to seek the help of a professional technician from a bike shop.

If maintenance is required, it is best to seek the help of a professional technician from a bike shop.
