    Pedal tension on A102

    Came up with a quick down and dirty way to adjust pedal tension and keep them all the same. I took a toilet paper spring loaded rod, and put a mark on it at around 3/4" of preload, derived from the tension of one pedal I was ok with. I then adjusted pedals until it took that amount of preload to start the pedal downward. You could adjust for your liking by moving the mark where ever you want it. This just gave me a good idea where I am.
    Note: I positioned the rod as far out as i could, as moving toward the rear of the pedal will take more spring preload to move the pedal down.

        I have a hammer that's just the right weight to use as a gauge ... otherwise I'm using the same technique.

            Kind of a "poor mans" belt tensioning device...
