vegetation said:Anyone know if this motor will be able to power up paved 12%+ grades?W/ ~5hp it should be able to take 12% at at least ~20mph, but if it doesn't there seem to be small sprockets (36t) available that should do the trick.

Totally off-subject, and braving the red; hoping for someone kind enough to either provide the answer, or point me to it.
The left pedal of my nephew's new K2 bike has come off. The threads in the arm(?) are completely gone. How can it be fixed? What parts/tools are needed, and where to get them?
I am asking because his single-parent already over-spent on a "better" bike which he could use as transportation to high-school. The first day, he had a flat, and had to bring it to the shop for a new tube. Cost, including labor: $18. Two days later, the other tube. Cost: another $18. Before the week was up, he lost the pedal. Probably wasn't threaded right in the first place. Really can't afford the shop this time.
I am handy with tools and projects I am familiar with. Bikes are not among them; but I am confident that I can manage this. All I need is one kind soul to guide me. TIA.

If the threads in the pedal cranks are shot it more than likely happened due to an incorrectly tightened pedal and will need replaced.
There are many types of pedal crank, S-shaped (one piece - usually cheap quality) and 3 piece (can be good quality) which bolt on and even the type where the cranks bolt on using cotter pins (usually cheap quality).
You might be able to find what you want with further searches but the repairs you need to do are fairly simple really.
A puncture repair should only cost the price of the new tube (if you can't use a puncture repair kit) and 5 minutes of your own time to replace when you know what you are doing (From a labour cost point of view shops won't normally repair a punctured inner tube as it would cost more than giving you a new one.)
