Topeak PedalBar

Seems kind of kitcshy to have all these things jammed into one product, but it works just as it should! Super happy.

Having been satisfied with other Topeak products, I thought this attractively designed pedal wrench would allow me to take responsibility for my own pedal installation and maintenance. Why should I have to rely on my local bike shop for something as straightforward as installing and removing pedals? Within 30 minutes of acquiring a Topeak PedalBar, the score was: 1 pedal removed, 1 pedal unmoved, 1 sore thumb, and 1 ruined wrench. (No, I was not trying to turn the left pedal in the wrong direction.) My diagnoses: (1) the wrench at 10 inches is too short to provide the torque necessary to remove stubborn pedals, and (2) the metal of the wrench is too soft for this application, anyhow. Next I am going to do what I should have done initially. I am going to emulate the professionals and purchase a Park 14-inch pedal wrench.
