Changing Your Rally Pedals

NOTICE

Garmin® recommends changing one pedal at a time taking care to keep track of the small screws and seals. You must obtain a 4 mm hex key, PH 00 screwdriver, 15 mm pedal wrench, 12 mm socket with an outer diameter that is less than 17 mm (typically a 1/4 in. drive) on a torque wrench, and bike grease. Use care not to damage any of the Rally™ components.

This procedure shows the Rally RS and the Rally XC pedals. The procedure is the same for any Rally series pedal conversion.

NOTE: If you have the single-sided Rally system, the right pedal has no battery carriage.
  1. Use a 15 mm pedal wrench to remove the Rally RS pedals.
    NOTE: The left pedal spindle has a left-handed (reverse) thread attaching it to the crank arm.
  2. Use a 4 mm hex key to remove the battery cover Callout number 1.

  5. Remove the battery carriage.
  6. While securely holding the wrench flats with a pedal wrench, use a 12 mm socket wrench to unscrew the spindle nut Callout number 5.
    NOTE: The right pedal has a black spindle nut and a reverse thread. The left pedal has a silver spindle nut and a standard thread. The left spindle has a line on the wrench flats.
  7. Slide the spindle out of the pedal body.
  8. Remove all old grease from the spindle.
  9. Apply a layer of bike grease to the spindle.

    Spindle and the pedal

    The new pedal body has factory-installed dust seals. The outer dust seal should be flush with the top of the cartridge.

  11. Replace the spindle nut.
  12. While securely holding the wrench flats with a pedal wrench, use a 12 mm socket wrench to torque the spindle nut to 7 lbf-ft. (10 N-m).
    WARNING

    To ensure that the spindle nut stays in place, you must tighten it to the recommended torque specification. Failure to properly tighten the nut could cause the pedal to fall off during a ride, which could result in property damage or serious bodily injury or death.

  13. Replace the battery carriage and two screws.
  14. Replace the battery and battery cover, and hand tighten it.
    NOTE: Do not damage or lose the O-ring gasket.
  15. Use a 4 mm hex key to tighten the battery cover to 3.6 lbf-ft. (5 N-m).
