I just got a new road bike. It is 16 pounds lighter than my old one, 38 years younger and I want it to be as efficient as possible.
It came with pedals as nice gift from the dealer as I know nice road bikes usually do not (Do to a leg issued I can't use the clip-less, sad I know). So I would like to us these freebies for a while. However the do not spin very freely. I can keep them parallel to the ground when the should easily fall perpendicular. Is there a way to lube or loosen a pedal so it will spin more freely.
I want all the work I'm putting into my pedaling to go towards moving forward and quickly.
