ok, I figure I would make this so everyone who ever says "what way do I turn this?" can just come here. Type away, cause I need to know too. EVERYTHING!

Always righty tighty/lefty loosy except for pedals and freewheels.

RIGHT pedals, that is...And bottom brackets.

Freewheels? You sure 'bout that??

so right pedals go on the opposite way? what about chainwheels? I know freewheels are normal though. If they werent, everytime you hit real hard on your pedals it would loosen. And when you put on a freewheel, you only need to do it hand tight. riding tightens it the rest of the way.

Right pedal is 'turn to the right' to tighten; Clockwise to tighten.

The left pedal is reverse thread: turn to the left to tighten (counter-clockwise).

Freewheels are normal thread, turn to the right to tighten. Like someone else said, otherwise the freewheel would loosen everytime you pushed the cranks and pedals......
