I just ordered a Skyhawk and want to order some pedals from Amazon. What size do I need to get? 9/16 or 1/2?

9/16".


1/2" is for one piece cranks which are generally found on cheaper department store bikes, low end BMX bikes, and Cruisers.

9/16" is for two and three piece cranks, which are found on higher end bikes.

Hope that helps!

You need one of these:

Amazon.com: Presta Adapter: Sports & Outdoors

They are common and easy to find. Just about any bike shop, or big-box store (WalMart, K-Mart, Meijer, *****, etc) that has a bike department will have them. Usually cost $2 or so.

All of my bikes, except my BMX bikes and jump bike, are presta. I like to use the adapter anyway instead of the presta side of the pump as it doesn't mess the end of the valve up over time.
