Using these pedals is easy. Just attach them to your bike's crank arms following the standard installation process. When riding, the anti - slip pins will keep your feet firmly in place. As for maintenance, since they have maintenance - free sealed bearings, you don't need to do much. But it's a good idea to clean them regularly with a mild soap and water to keep them looking new. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the composite body. Also, check the reflectors periodically to ensure they are in good condition for your safety on the road.
