Yep. I would have liked to make that a loose-press fit (if that makes sense)

Ok, so you guys are real artists using real metal so this may be totally lame, but my commuter bike is on old pos cruiser with 1pc cranks (1/2" spindle). You can't find good grippy pedals in this size so I used a drill and some old pedal pins to make do with what I had. 2711770 2711765 I already posted this in the pedal thread as well so sorry for the deja vu some of you!

I did that to my plastic pedals as well. Just sanded off the plastic pin, drilled a hole slightly smaller then the screw, put some super glew in, and screw in the pins.

So it looks like this:

Thats awsome man! and if you have a drill press, you can use the pins as guides and then sand the excess pin off.

Here's a step by step I put together.

If you drill the hole slightly smaller than the pin, there's no need to use an adhesive to hold the pin in.

cause it's rubber, i just drilled out slightly smaller holes than the pins (like eziekel said) but instead of threading them i just pressed them in with some pliers. I've ridden quite a bit on them now and they're not coming out.

gibson you might want to loosten that up a little bit your deraileurs under to much tension and it makes it esier to brake.
