Summary :
For info: I do not sell ANY PEDALS OR PRINTED PARTS. That would be trading, and I am not, and do not wish to be a trader. No need to ask. However, I am looking for a company that could produce plastic parts for those who do not own 3D printers. If you know of any…

2) FEATURES
Angle can vary from -20° to 35° The starting position is tuned by a screw and a knob (no tool needed).

4) ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
To be added soon.
for those folks US side of things, the proper torsion spring is a bit tricky to find without waiting for several months for the aliexpress shipments. I found a spring on amazon that work, but you will have to cut it down to size.

the other option that i had decent success with was making my own spring using a spoke from my kids old bikes, 24″ rim minimum. Take the spoke and wrap it around the 12mm rod 2x-3x tightly. works like a charm.
