  • Shit. Didn't think about that. Does that really happen, in practice? I would have thought that it would take some pretty good pedalling force to undo a pair of pedals that were on tight. Correct me if I'm wrong, however - I just thought it wouldn't be an issue.

  • The turning force is only that of the friction in the bearings. In practise I doubt it. Over time though, maybe they'd loosen. Who knows. There's a reason why left and right pedals thread differently though

  • To be fair, I am no mechanic, and am always open to criticism and correction, but I think that, practically, there would be very little repercussion (pedal-wise) of me using left-side drive
