Abstract
A racing type pedal includes a main body, a pivot hook, a limit member, an adjusting bolt, a press block, and two torsion springs. Thus, the movement of the adjusting bolt is limited by the limit member, and the movement of the press block is limited by the torsion springs, so that the adjusting bolt and the press block form a linear movement without deflection, thereby producing an evenly distributed shearing stress between the adjusting bolt and the press block, thereby preventing the adjusting bolt and the press block from being worn out due to an uneven shearing stress.
