BIRZMAN MOCK PEDAL

The Birzman Mock Pedal, also known as the Replical, is an essential addition to any professional or home workshop. Designed to streamline the bike building and maintenance process, this tool allows you to perform drivetrain adjustments and gear indexing without the need to constantly thread and unthread actual pedals. This not only saves significant time during a busy service day but also protects the high-end finish of customer pedals from accidental workshop scuffs.

Constructed with a durable alloy steel spindle and a classic varnished wood handle, the Mock Pedal offers a comfortable and secure grip while spinning the cranks. The spindle is engineered to fit standard 9/16" crank arms, providing a stable platform to test shifting through the entire cassette. Whether you are building a bike from the frame up or performing a quick derailleur tune-up, the Birzman Mock Pedal provides the tactile feedback you need with the speed of a professional-grade tool.

Key Features

• Rapid Adjustment: Saves time by allowing you to rotate the drivetrain without fully installing pedals during assembly or repairs.

• Premium Materials: Features a high-quality alloy steel spindle for longevity and a smooth-finished varnished wood handle.

• Crank Protection: Prevents unnecessary wear and tear or cross-threading risks on expensive cranksets and pedals.

• Compact Design: At just 4.7 inches (approx. 120mm), it fits easily into a tool apron pocket for quick access.

• Ergonomic Grip: The wooden handle provides a comfortable, non-slip surface for repeated spinning and indexing.

Specifications

✅ Why This IS For You

• The Pro Mechanic: You assemble multiple bikes daily and need to index gears quickly without the "thread-in, thread-out" fatigue.

• Home Workshop Enthusiasts: You take pride in having the right tool for the job and want to avoid scuffing your pedals during maintenance.

• The Precise Tuner: You need to spin the cranks at various speeds to check for chain rub or derailleur alignment issues.

• New Bike Builders: Perfect for those setting up a bike for the first time who want to ensure the drivetrain is perfect before the final pedal install.

❌ Why This May NOT Be For You

• Occasional Riders: If you only work on your bike once a year, you may find it easier to just use your regular pedals.

• Test Riders: This is for stationary workshop use only; it is not designed to support a rider's full weight for actual test riding.

• Extreme Budget Builds: If you are strictly looking for the bare minimum of tools, your existing pedals will technically do the same job.

BFC PRO TIP

The Mock Pedal is a "push-to-turn" tool, meaning you don't need to thread it all the way in to get the cranks moving. However, if you are checking for high-torque shifting issues or chain suck, ensure the spindle is seated straight against the crank arm face to get the most accurate feedback. To keep the wooden handle looking fresh and prevent it from soaking up grease, give it a quick wipe with a clean rag after every service!
