Crank pedal threads

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Anyone here ever tap the 1/2 inch pedal threads into 9/16? Is there enough meat to hold them securely? Thanks Rick
 
I've done it on Iver Johnson crank arms. It may be different for 1 piece cranks . The big factor is what type of use the bike will have and how much the rider weighs.
Best to practice on a spare , junk crank first , if you hadn't thought about that already.
 
I've seen it done, an old shop I hung out at had the correct taps and would do it when cranks were stripped out.

Remember you need a left hand thread tap for one side.

Unless you're jumping your bike or beating the heck out of it, I wouldn't worry about strength issues.
